I stumbled onto the court opinion for PASE v. Hannon (1980), a case in which an advocacy group sued the Chicago school system to stop IQ testing of minority children. I had read about the case before (Elliott, 1987), but the opinion is fascinating. 1/https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp/506/831/1654128/ …

I knew about the funding because I read about it first in Jensen's book. I didn't know that it produced nothing until now, though. Williams is still alive. I would love to interview him and ask some tough questions.

Maybe I should re-read the book, again... Admittedly, it takes a while, 800 pages!

Here's a tip: Don't consult a Jensen book while writing your own. It will only make you feel puny and inadequate.pic.twitter.com/5OZl7ATmXd

I remember how he followed up like "lest the reader think this test is a spoof, it got an award actually" lol

Williams was earnest in creating the test, and I think his intentions were good. But I can find no evidence that African Americans' scores positively correlate with functioning in an urban setting or success in African American culture. (1/2)

On the other hand, Williams (1972) says that some Black examinees reacted to the test by saying, "Right on!" (It was the '70s.) So, there's that.
(2/2)
