Yeah, I don't think Sternberg is advocating for ending standardized testing:
"My colleagues and I developed assessments for creativity, common sense and wisdom... we doubled prediction [accuracy] for academic performance, and with Kaleidoscope we could predict the quality of extracurricular performance, which the SAT doesn’t do."
It sounds like he just wants to reform them, and has some strong initial results to suggest that we could do much better.
- nindalf 9y agoAny metric can be gamed. It only works until people figure out how.
- yorwba 9y agoThe trick is to change your metrics often enough, so people can never be sure they gamed the right one.
- danieltillett 9y agoNo one has figured out how to game well designed IQ tests. That is the appeal of high g-loaded tests like the SAT.
