> It's not controversial to acknowledge that lots of historical attempts to measure intelligence have been pretty biased in favor of English speaking white men. Do you have some specific examples of this purported bias? > Unfortunately some were also very deliberate spins (one notable example being the book The Bell Curve). Specifically what spin are you referring to? > I think it's reasonable to conclude that measuring intelligence isn't valuable enough for all of the negative externalities attached to it given how the world currently is. Insufficiently valuable to whom?
