IQ tests (of which there are a ton) are regularly calibrated, internationally comparable (there are some reasonably culturally neutral test protocols) and stable while SAT is a US-only metric.
Maybe SAT is calibrated to correlate with IQ tests?
- barry-cotter 8y agoThe SAT is not calibrated to correlate with IQ tests. Being correlated with IQ tests is an unavoidable consequence of what it is. It’s a high stakes test with limited subject matter meant to measure scholastic aptitude. That will unavoidably be highly g loaded. It’s not culture fair, like Raven’s Matrices, because it assumes you speak English at a native level and have been exposed to a middle school curriculum.
- asabjorn 8y agoIt sounds fair to assume some basic skills for admittance, such as a completed middle school competency level and native level proficiency in the language advanced university level material will be taught in. Any person without those will be severely disadvantaged relative to the peers that don’t.
