> we make up a measurement that validates that our "best" people -- like well educated, well heeled white males The only trouble with your theory is that IQ actually does a very good job of predicting how well members of various minorities will do in life. Half a century you could argue the cultural bias hypothesis but it no longer flies. The tests have been updated and taking "culturally biased" questions out actually made minority scores go down (possibly due to lower G loading on those questions). > The mental model that some kids are inherently more deserving of investment at school because they are smarter Of course the test would be "what is the marginal benefit of education to this person" a very different question from what is their IQ level. You just seem to be making stuff up to fit your ideological preconceptions.
