[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But many tests are thought to be SES biased. Which is different than having two students start at the same starting line and see who crosses the finish line first.[/quote] Running tests are biased against children who have poor health care and untreated asthma... And try outs to get on the basketball team, hockey team are SES biased too. Kids who can afford to play and go to fancy summer camps and skills clinics will do better, get more skills more quickly. Face it, life is SES biased.[/quote] While it's true there can be advantageous and detrimental environmental effects, it's not the be all and end all to IQ. There are many privileged rich kids who only test out to have below-average IQ. There are also folks like Bill Cosby who came from public housing yet he has high IQ and was in a G&T program. So, the contrary may be shown.[/quote]
