| Psychology 290-IQ test question.?
IQ tests have been critisized on a number of fronts.Discuss two problems illustratedin the following example.
Paul,aneight year old black child from detroit was given a standford-binet intelligence test. His white teacher, Ms. P. Rejudice, was not surprised to learn that his IQ was below normal because, as she was fond of pointing out, "The black kids just arent as smart as the white kids." When she talked to Paul's mother, she suggested that Paul might be encouraged to play an instrument or learn a trade like house painting because "he'll never be able to do anything more with an IQ like that"
One of my reason was test bias i.e. cultural bias
please help me discuss another reason
