[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, what I mean is that IQ is based on a false presumption of what "intelligence" is and was originally developed around WWI as a way just to sort men into various roles in the military draft. It's not much different now and is riddled with cultural biases, based on the original developers' ideas of what intelligence meant in their own culture. [/quote]

Exactly, just like all Asians aren't gifted in Asia, so what does that say about race classifications. PP is just thinking about in the US or in certain areas of the US !  If I remember my psychology class 101, there was evidence to also suggest that the creators of the first, or one of the first tests Alfred Binet, falsified the data. [/quote]

Yes, but perhaps the Asians who make it here are smarter. Also, would not cultural biases put recently arrived Asians at a cultural disadvantage in IQ testing as compared to Americans of all races? Plus, there is not just Binet IQ testing. There are newer tests used which I guessing have accounted for cultural differences.[/quote]
