Because testing tells you who is good at taking tests, not who is good at working together with others to solve problems.

TJ has been recognized as the #1 school in America for several years precisely BECAUSE they have overselected for test-taking ability and because those rankings for many years have been dependent on test scores.

Standardized testing is increasingly recognized as an outdated and outmoded way of measuring a student's ability to contribute to an elite academic environment. Many of the best colleges and universities in the country are running away from them, and that number grows every year.[/quote]

This is just circular reasoning.  Declare the testing is a bad measure, and you get to select with racial quotas and declare this is better because the testing has been identified as bad.[/quote]

It's not me that has identified standardized testing as inadequate. It's the world's top universities, which are essentially businesses tasked with acquiring and nurturing top talent.

If shunning these exams is good enough for Caltech, then it's more than good enough for TJ.[/quote]

You are an idiot.  Caltech isn't "shunning" it.  The put in a Covid moratorium.  Just look at their website:

Two-year Moratorium on requirement and consideration of SAT and/or ACT test scores
As of June 2020, Caltech has enacted a two-year moratorium on both the requirement and consideration of SAT and/or ACT test scores as part of the undergraduate admissions process. This change, made in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic and its continuing impact on access to these exams for students across the country and globe, will be in effect for all first-year students applying to Caltech for Fall 2021 and Fall 2022.
