The problem isn't that high-scorers are bad at the thing that's being tested for, it's that there may be some or many folks scoring in the middle who are equally good or better. When you tweak items to produce a desired curve, you muddy the waters re: what the test actually tests
If top scorers *are* really good *and* really fast, isn't that fine? Well, no. In the real world, cognitively-demanding work isn't a speed run. If top scorers get the best opportunities, people w/ traits preferable to speed (creativity, conscientiousness, etc.) may get pushed out
I do sometimes wonder though if these kinds of structural obstacles aren't actually essential to instilling resilience in slow thinkers - one of the most valuable traits they can bring to challenging work projects. Would they still have this if they didn't struggle early on?
Resilience is really valuable, as is the creativity required to make your way through a world that wrote you off early. But if you're developing these things because the world allocates the best opportunities poorly, it's still a suboptimal world
The longer I live the more I detest any form of standardizing humans.
Our variation is our strength, and our hubris in assuming we know what sort of homogeneity to aim for is our downfall
How can we better test slow traits? Take homes? Trial periods?
Both are a bit better, and both seem to be spreading (across the tech sector, at least). Both are quite a lot closer to resembling the actual demands of the work, with the latter being *extremely* close but of course much more costly
