- chrispeel 5y agoMaybe these people are good at standardized tests, but not good at critical thinking?
- briefcomment 5y ago> "critical thinking ability—measured by an open-ended test emphasizing several areas of critical thinking ability in the context of argumentation" This sounds similar to standardized tests like the LSAT
- threatofrain 5y agoThe LSAT is a very unusual test compared to all other standardized tests, in that it requires very little knowledge and is basically an IQ test.
- antisthenes 5y agoWhat kinds of standardized tests are you talking about? There's a whole plethora of them, ranging in difficulty, appropriate age and the amount of critical thinking they measure. In fact any test given to a group of people can be considered a standardized test. But very few of them measure any sort of critical thinking, or even reading comprehension.
