[quote=Anonymous]The article goes to show that even an elite white insider can trip up on an IQ test - which tends to counter the arguments of bias toward wealthy, powerful white insiders. The ability to answer those questions has more to do with things like paying close attention to the question and applying critical thinking, rather than being knowledge- or culture-based questions. Howard Gardner says there are all kinds of intelligence. Yes, absolutely true, there are. But the only kinds that really matter in terms of basic human survival and success are societal ones - the ones that you can monetize or otherwise derive some benefit from. Having giftedness in some obscure area won't do you any tangible good unless you can find some way to find some benefit in life from it. "Hey, look, I can blow synchronized snot bubbles!" "Yeah, great, kid. Now go away."[/quote]
