Do you think standardized tests are a good measure of intelligence?

Asked at Massachusetts Street on August 22, 2012

“No. My mom’s a high school teacher, and it makes teachers teach to the tests.”

“I think standardized testing is an OK way to measure intelligence.”

“I don’t think so. I have a lot of teacher clients that say they are pitted against last years’ standard.”

“No. It’s standardized. For one, it simply implies that it’s not a good standard for everyone.”
