[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does the correlation between socio-economic status with WPSSI and SAT scores fit your fancy theories of mind over matter and intrinsic athletic ability and/or intelligence?  Is there a correlation, too, between socio-economic status and athletic ability and performance?[/quote]

All of today's IQ tests have some degree of cultural, racial, gender, socio-economic, etc. etc. bias.  Educators and psychologists are working very hard to refine screening to correct these biases so that these at risk, gifted children aren't missed but there is still a lot of work to be done to identify all of these children.  Giftedness is seen in every walk of life however, it is not always identified and nutured in at risk populations so these children often don't meet their potential.

I'm sure the same thing happens with athetics to a degree.  However, our society values athetic ability very much.  Our school systems and universities place a great deal of effort and funding to seek out, identify, and nuture athetically gifted people.  Children from at risk populations are more likely to be identified for their athletic ability than for their intellectual ability.[/quote]
