...Did the pre-1994 SAT measure something importantly different from what the post-1994 SAT had measured? Don’t bother asking the College Board. The data for answering that question would require the College Board to reveal just how well the original and revised SATs measure the general mental factor g, the stuff of intelligence/aptitude, and the College Board does not want to acknowledge that the SAT measures g at all or, for that matter, that g even exists..."
Colleges, parents, politicians et al may want to avoid measuring or talking about "g" but the real world will continue to measure it.
I think Murray wants to be appreciated by all rather than accept the hard facts of human nature. Abolishing the SAT will temporarily mean more minorities in the Ivy League but, eventually, truth will out and best and the brightest will survive and thrive and the others will do less well.
I think Murray (same as the author of this article btw) in his book, The Bell Curve, did quite a lot to focus people on g. He’s not worried about being appreciated after how The Bell Curve was received. Heh.
a "kinder and gentler" Charles Murray from Bell Curve days?
