One thing society needs to get right is not screwing over slow thinkers from day 1. A slow thinker can sometimes generate amazing projects over remarkably short timelines, but deliver "meh" performances on standardized tests that use time pressure to fit scores to a bell curve

Yes, it only works for the most extreme examples of resilience + creativity but can leave out a wider swath with potential. Maybe though testing isn't the true problem? More how we allocate opportunity to their results?

Yeah — it's not that the tests are useless, it's that there isn't widespread understanding of how they work and what their limitations are. They work *well enough* even when applied somewhat poorly, so they persist. But we could do better
