[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IQ is an outdated, culturally-biased measure. A way for parents to feel their kids are special despite the fact that it is very biased by a person's socioeconomic background. [/quote] The "cultural bias" argument gets thrown around based mainly on nothing other than results. A majority of the questions have little to do with culture and the few that do on occasion get cited are either outdated example or are extremely specious. If it's truly biased to match the criticisms then one would expect that it should skew to favor wealthy white Americans, but in fact it skews to favor Asian-Americans. The ultimate reality of it is that the correlation between IQ test performance and race is far smaller and far less meaningful than the correlation between IQ test performance and income level.[/quote]
