When it comes to tests for innate ability, yup.

Nothing more than an attempt to manipulate results to make ordinary children appear to be "gifted".[/quote]

Hilarious.  If that's really true then you wouldn't be threatened by kids who study.  It's all 'innate'?  Then how would studying help?[/quote]

Who's threatened?  Kid #1 tested off the charts, kid #2 too young for it to be an issue.

I just don't like strivers/grifters who try to game the system.

You'll note that I said "attempt" to manipulate the results, but certainly test design is not a perfect science.

Even tests designed to test innate traits can be gamed by those sufficiently desperate and determined.[/quote]

So if you're not threatened, then you shouldn't even waste your time thinking about this.  Who cares?

I do.  I don't like grifters/cheaters impacting my community.

Do you only care about things that immediately impact you?

There's a word for that...[/quote]

Does schooling affect the kid's innate capability? If it does, is it cheating?
[/quote]

It's apparent that you lack the innate ability to grasp the issue here.  Best of luck to you.[/quote]
