OP = No, my question is this. If you had an airtight test to gauge a persons intelligence, no claims of cultural bias could be made, would it be ethical to use it on a population? Normally I am always for the truth scientifically. It doesn’t matter how inconvenient that truth is or how unpopular. In this scenario though, I have to wonder, what good it would do?


This could be a question that sees fruition in the US -- look at the current admin's view on testing. In the end I'm not sure IQ testing the masses would serve many purposes of good. Speaking sociologically I think that at some point each of know someone smarter than ourselves (or at least we wonder if they may be), and I think we each tend to gravitate toward what we can understand and where we can be be understood to some degree no matter how small. Which makes global education the utmost value. Zapatisa, baby!
