re: #409 Feline Fearless Leader

That came up in a college course (Sociology related IIRC) that I took as an elective. A week was spent talking about IQ tests (various types), the issue with what you are actually testing, and also some material on survey questions and how easily it is to bias those to fit preconceived conclusions.

Another reason for asshole politicians to hate secondary education. :p

One of my teacher prep courses for my MAT was a seminar on the science of education, and we spent quite a bit of time discussing IQ tests and their limited validity and usefulness, as well as their abuse. The professor was one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. He made the whole IQ charade clear as day.
