No it's not. Test creators keep 50 percent of items people get right and the smaller proportion of items people get right and wrong. This forces the curve and shows the presuppositions. You can make other groups more 'intelligent' with the right item selection. Do you deny that?
-
The idea that you can make other groups score higher with different item selection is basically false.
-
It definitely is not false. How are IQ tests created?
-
I don't care
-
So it doesn't matter how IQ tests are created? Item selection doesn't matter?
-
If the tests are accurately telling me who is smarter, which they are usually pretty good at, then I really don't care.
-
I explained the reasons why they're 'good at that'. You can create other assumptions just by item selection. Read into test construction. You're wrong.
-
I am familiar enough with test results to know that they're generally pretty accurate

You're getting bogged down in trivialities. Are some people smarter than others? Yes. Does this matter? Yes. Can we make tests that usually tell us who is smarter? Yes. Are these tests perfect? No

Can we make tests that tell us other groups are smarter? Most definitely.pic.twitter.com/GYl0bJClTE
