Wrong Easy.The SAT (particularly the old SAT) is actually a better IQ test than most IQ tests are, because it measures only crystallized-g, as opposed to fluid-g. Tests of fluid-g, which is meant to measure the ability to solve novel problems, are subject to loss of accuracy due to training with solving abstract thinking problems. The SAT on the other hand, which measures ability after intense preparation (all of schooling) is much more fair measure (broadly speaking, that is; this is subject to lots of individual variation). |
