[QUOTE]Originally posted by Whatbox: [QB] [QUOTE][b]None of those sources shed any light as to why afro americans consistently score the lowest on standardized test scores[/b][/QUOTE]You're illiterate then, as almost all of those posts contain information directly applicable to the subject of black american testing, the "African American Intelligence Quotient", and so on. [QUOTE][b]And secondly, as far as that statement about intellectual aptitude as measured through IQ tests as being a "pretty shaky tool," you are either naive or simply misinformed, as IQ tests have been proven time and time again to be an accurate predictor of socioeconomic outcomes[/b][/QUOTE]More proof of lack of reading comprehension. What i stated was that simply using simple empirical values (i.e. raw IQ score) to measure hereditability of some ambiguous and subjective trait (few ever define "intelligence") leaves alot to be desired in the way of objectivity not to mention alot of variables. But its pretty clear from your vague and casual usage of terms like "races" that i'm probably not conversing with anyone knowledgeable. In case - as i suspect - you are indeed clueless as to which [b]**unaccounted for**[/b] variables i may have been referring to, here is a short intro: with each generation even the IQ value that designates mental retardation has to be raised, which in and of itsself is a controversial issue. And America as a whole at the turn of the 20th Century would have placed below that learning disabled line on today's tests. The score has been shown to correlate with social and economic class as well as environment (culture, communication, goals and even opinions). With African Americans in fixed environments scores are equal to or superior to those of mixed or white children, and black Americans outside of those environs have been shown to have scores that drop from virtual equality with whites by as much as 15 points before leveling out at age 25. But, if you were capable of reading you'd 've known all htis was covered in the links i posted. Anything empirical, anything aside from being [b]*linked*[/b] with physical evidence is purely theoretical and purely uninteresting to me (physical evidence = actual gene expression -- not IQ, g-factor, "intelligence", dark hair, light skin, big teeth, long nose, etc).
