> IQ only weakly correlates to the intelligence […] it tests a bunch of stuff completely unrelated to intelligence (e.g. cultural trivia). These are unfortunate myths. See the following on IQ testing, relationship of various tests to general intelligence, and the absence of cultural bias in testing: - Standardized exams measure intrinsic ability, not racial or socioeconomic privilege https://milkyeggs.com/society/standardized-exams-measure-intrinsic-ability-not-racial-or-socioeconomic-privilege/ https://milkyeggs.com/society/standardized-exams-measure-int... - Fair and Square: A Conclusion on IQ Test Bias https://menghu.substack.com/p/fair-and-square-a-conclusion-on-iq-test-bias https://menghu.substack.com/p/fair-and-square-a-conclusion-o... "Generally, the most commonly used IQ tests aren’t biased or only minimally biased as to be of no practical value." - Bias is Often Unpredictable https://www.cremieux.xyz/cp/140810182 https://www.cremieux.xyz/cp/140810182 "Bias does not simply mean that a measure gives different scores to different groups. This is one of the most common misunderstandings about “bias”. What it really means is that members of different groups obtain different scores conditional on the same underlying level of ability." - The Relationship Between the Scholastic Assessment Test and General Cognitive Ability https://sci-hub.st/https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.0956-7976.2004.00687.x https://sci-hub.st/https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1... "Furthermore, empirical evidence suggests a substantial relationship between the SAT and g. In a study of 339 undergraduates, Brodnick and Ree (1995) used covariance structure modeling to examine the relationship between psychometric g, socioeconomic variables, and achievement-test scores. They found substantial general-factor loadings on both the math (.698) and the verbal (.804) SAT subtests." - Systemwide Review of the Report of the Academic Council’s Standardized Testing Task Force (STTF) (2020) https://senate.universityofcalifornia.edu/_files/underreview/sttf-report.pdf https://senate.universityofcalifornia.edu/_files/underreview...
