See what happens when information is censored?

[quote]The end of the IQ test and screening tests for AAP. It appears some have caught on to the political tactics of those who have used these inventions and concepts like IQ and race for self-serving social engineering.

Take advantage of the information age with hard work and preparation. Information is all around us and everywhere. Ignore all the budding DCUM communists who wish to sanitize FCPS by ridding our communities of information and dictating what information is acceptable. In the 17th and 18th century they were successful at this. Virginians even prosecuted and killed Americans for reading, writing and attending schools. The information age is now equalizing the playing field and these pathetic slugs don't like it.[/quote]

On track now[/quote]

Interesting article.  IQ doesn't predict success or even academic achievement. IQ is simply that which is measured on an IQ test. Beyond that, in the real world, it means squat.  So why FCPS places any value in the WISC is dubious.  The GBRS is a much better indicator of academic success.  [/quote]

Well, I'm sure you realize that working memory is a part of IQ tests right?

There are a TON of other research that shows that IQ does indeed predict many positive things, including academic achievement.  They tested kids at 5, then checked their grades at 11.  IQ's at 5 are notoriously affected by home environment, both positively and negatively.  
IQ's at a later age are much more stable and indicative of a childs intelligence.  They would get VERY different results IMO if they tested IQ at age 10 and them followed them for 15 years.  But of course they don't want to do that, because they're trying to promote the book they're selling.[/quote]
