You care -- or how else to justify #44 -- and the others?

But relax -- they're only measurements -- and you'd not fell any less about miles and yards just because the road to my house is longer than the road to yours.

Would you?

If IQ tests were as accurate as measurements to your house, I'd be a proponent.

I'll admit, maybe I'm sometimes a I'm demanding, but I want a better and more accurate test.

I think the SAT's do a better job then the IQ test, and that's still leaves alot of room to be desired.

If the test was better, and more accurate, I'd be a supporter.

I do think we can measure intelligence the way we measure everything else, we just haven't succeeded in doing so, and we have accepted imperfection with the IQ test which is halting progress in getting a better method of measurement.
