[quote=Anonymous]The idea that SAT measures nothing related to intelligence is weird to me. I went to a very good public HS where 95% of the kids enrolled in 4-year colleges. All the kids homogeneous in terms of race and income, mostly. The very smart kids aced the SAT because they were very smart, and went to Stanford, Cal, and MIT. The smart kids did less well on the SAT and went to other UCs. The average kids did averagely and went to Cal States. I’m not sure how much GPAs differed. How would a school like MIT or Cal Tech identify the kids with the aptitude to succeed there without some way to measure the specific kind of intelligence needed?[/quote]
