[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sundiata: [QB] ^^Shaun, you make no sense. How can you honestly take pride in a test score that by your reasoning has little bearing on individual success, educationally? If African immigrants indeed come from some of the most miserly social circumstances in Africa, then why does their educational attainment exceed Asians and Europeans coming from better socio-economic circumstances in Asia and Europe? Cultural bias in these tests aren't the issue, that's an old straw man. What's at issue is the assertion that cultural disparities that exist outside of the test won't effect test takers differently, be it through nutrition, general interest, energy, comfortability, whatever. Or that the test its self measures actual intelligence (including emotional intelligence and survival skills [or "street smarts"]). What also would be of interest is to see if the IQ gaps remain constant, which would lend some support to a biological explanation. Seeing as how [URL=http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.brookings.edu%2Fviews%2Fpapers%2Fdickens%2F20060619_iq.pdf&ei=nIxmSI-nHIeuoQSno4W7DQ&usg=AFQjCNF_I1sramw6vqe2_4HZrjBrmfyyog&sig2=WIAIsr10fR5aFYmTp_Q1rQ]Flynn already confirmed a closing of the gap[/URL], there IS NO support and thus, you've failed in your burden to prove your case and claims.
