      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/ …

      The judge ruled against the advocacy group, stating that there was almost no bias in any of the items on the then-current version of the Stanford-Binet (1960 revision, with 1972 norms), the WISC, and the WISC-R. 2/

      The judge summarizes EVERY item on all 3 tests--a huge breach of confidentiality, but useful for anyone who wants to know more about test item formats. 3/pic.twitter.com/h2Dsv2chi9

      Interesting point: much of the judge's opinion analyzes the testimony of Dr. Robert L. Williams. I didn't know until I looked him up, but he's best known today as the creator of the word "ebonics." He also created the BITCH test. 4/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Williams_(psychologist) …pic.twitter.com/ewSi6l3IS7

      BITCH = "Black Intelligence Test of Cultural Homogeneity." Williams (1972) designed it to be a culturally-specific test to measure black intelligence because he thought that traditional IQ tests were too loaded with culturally white content. 5/

      Anyway, the analysis of his testimony in the PASE case is SO embarrassing for Williams. Most of what's quoted in the opinion is speculation on why a Black child would unfairly get an item wrong. The judge repeatedly expresses frustration that Williams never presented data. 6/pic.twitter.com/MLmRMNBQAY

      Williams also obfuscated test content. Here he is giving examples that aren't actually on any of the 3 tests. The judge also criticizes him repeatedly for using items at high age levels (including for adults) that children with intellectual disabilities would never see. 7/pic.twitter.com/GGCIDZIy3H

      The judge was NOT happy that Williams cherry picked test items to criticize as if they were representative of the entire test's bias against Black children. 8/pic.twitter.com/jlknTNqmCM

      Judge also not impressed by Williams's BITCH test. By the way, this test was NOT a joke. Williams received a $153,000 grant from NIMH to develop the BITCH (see link). That's the equivalent of over $900,000 in 2018 dollars. 9/ https://www.nytimes.com/1975/05/13/archives/black-psychologist-fighting-use-of-intelligence-tests-he-says.html …pic.twitter.com/2QWzDhTUdL

      Jensen's 1980 book discusses this test as some length. I didn't know about the funding, but that's totally not surprising.

          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

          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)
