sorta reminds me of when I prepared for my cambridge certificate. Then again I already spoke English more than well enough for it so it was more just preparing myself for the structure of the test itself.
Standardized testing - especially for stuff like IQ tests (ugh) - is really only good at testing how good you are at test-taking. Which *is* a skill, and likely a useful one, but that's not how these tests are presenting themselves.
And IQ tests in particular tend to test if you share a culture with the creator. Also, intelligence can't be boiled down to a single number at all.
Yup. Mostly important skill (parents sent me to an expensive SAT prep course) is knowing when to guess and when to leave it blank. That alone will improve anybody's score.
In fairness, knowing that you'll be punished for trying something that doesn't work more than you will be for not trying at all is an EXCELLENT primer for most corporate structures.
I really liked this line from a video on training AI systems: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure"
As someone who read various manuals on this, I do have to concur with that assessment. I will say that the training has sharpened my skills at process of elimination inferences during snap decision-making (which is of course another problem with these tests....)
