Wait a minute! Read this article: http://nautil.us/issue/32/space/men-are-better-at-maps-until-women-take-this-course … Now, why isn't this considered Aphantasia? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphantasia If so, then read this: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-47830256 … If men in tech have Aphantasia. and they do well, then doesn't that make the former test invalid?
Every time an article on aphantasia comes up HN is chock full of (probably) men saying they have aphantasia. If so how are they passing the rotation test that's excluding women? Also, this means that the test doesn't test for engineering ability, it tests for aphantasia.
Then, if there's a simple class that trains women to pass this exclusionary aphantasia test then that means you could have men take this class too. This could definitely be a way to demonstrate that the entire test is invalid for two reasons:
1. Plenty plenty plenty of men have aphantasia and do everything from engineering to art, but couldn't pass that test. 2. If test is for some innate ability then one class couldn't possibly help some pass it. That means you can do a SCIENCE!
Identify a bunch of working capable engineers who have aphantasia, confirm it, then test their skill on this test. If they can pass it then the test can't be testing any ability with mental visual skill like it claims because these are people with aphantasia who just can't.
But, if they can't pass it then how are they possibly doing engineering if the test is supposed to find people clearly good at engineering? Nail in the coffin: Have them take the class and see if they then pass it. If a class "cures" their aphantasia then the test is invalid.
Finally, this means when a man can't visually rotate shit in his head he has "aphantasia", but goes on to engineering just fine. When a woman can't do it they're considered "bad at math", but they could just have aphantasia just like the men who have it and do just fine.
Yet, read that article, and you've got a test that seems to only exclude women despite, well, like you said, tons of dudes sucking at art, mental imagery, and math, going right into it.
