LENOIR, N.C. Several members of a North Carolina community are upset after high school students were given a controversial quiz.
WSOC-TV reported that it happened to students in an AP psychology class at West Caldwell High School in Lenoir.
They were told it was an intelligence test, according to WSOC-TV. The school district said it was a classroom assignment, describing it as a mock test to give students exposure to cultural bias.
After the quiz was given, school officials said there was discussion about bias and misconceptions in different cultures and the use of slang.
After the district was made aware of the assignment, the teacher was told not to use the Chitling Test again. School officials said an internal investigation is underway.
The superintendent of West Caldwell High School said the test has no place in the classroom.
He reportedly met with local African-American clergy, members of the NAACP and the police chief Thursday morning to discuss the test. Afterwards, they held hands and prayed.
If there are two dice, wouldn't the that depend on what combination equals seven on top? 3 & 4 or 6 & 1 on top would have different bottoms than 5 & 2.
Stupid question.
(e) Assuming the “highest player” was a step up from her husband, and that her welfare check is only for child support.
The Chitlin test looks designed to show the impact of biased questions on test scores. What they dont tell students is that despite decades of effort removing “culturally biased” questions from standardized tests certain groups still score dramatically worse than others. Bottom line, we can send a man to the moon but we still cant come up with standardized tests where certain groups score as well as whites.
Wrong...
Correct Answer:
The Stupid Cracka that just walked by with the rolex.
The correct answer is: A. ($80)
Per http://wilderdom.com/personality/intelligenceChitlingTestShort.html
I think you’re right. But what does this cracka know?
It’s always going to be 7.
One die will not give a 7! lol!
Actually, I WAS wrong. No matter the combination of dots on top of two die that equals seven...the bottom equals seven also. 5 is opposite 2, 4 is opposite 3, 6 is opposite 1. I had to look to be sure.
It’s always going to be 7.
6 and 1 up will have 1 and 6
3 and 4 up will have 4 and 3 down
5 and 2 up will have 2 and 5down
The question sates that their are two dice.
If whites overall still out scored blacks, even on this test, would that finally settle the question about bias in testing not being the cause of the disparity? So, how well did each racial group score on this test?
;-)
This hogwash apparently predates even the Dept of Education

I searched for Wadsworth, ending up here
http://www.wadsworth.org/docs/education.shtml#
and finding this
Title of doc: “Testing Human Potential: Report of Conference on New Techniques for Selecting Employees from Minority Groups”
From above:
“At this stage of the game I feel like the puppy dog’s tail. Dealing with what we now consider a four-letter word “test” and getting down to black and white, let us cover the aspects of what we want to really cover as far as needed action is concerned. Of course, here we are dealing with what we are going to do right now and certain recommendations have been made by our workshop, and there are as follows:
Number one, that tests be eliminated whenever possible and, of course, we are dealing here with a type of entry-level specifically. Then, accordingly, that common sense interviews be the basis of selection systems when this is done.”
Just one snippet...
Doc dated for the Conference, April 25-26, 1968
No, if there's a 6 on top then there's a 1 on the bottom.
If there's a 5 on top, there's a 2 on the bottom.
If they add up to 7 on top, they add up to 7 on the bottom, too.
Common Core?
I’m sorry, I can’t pass that test, I only know the meaning of “youth”, “teen”, “college bound”, “urban”, “challenged”, and “Amish”.
Interesting.
I only missed 2 questions.
What a stupid, rascist test!
Yep, I was thinking child support, not welfare. Welfare doesn’t care how much the father makes.
