#intelligence test

Pearl's death opened up a kind of hole in my mind. But eventually I got around to reflecting on Alan, and his intelligence test for machines. I remember grinning about the idea that I could beat it -- design a machine capable of replicating Turing himself, and wouldn't that show the old man. But then suddenly I realized I wasn't really thinking of replicating Alan at all. I was thinking about Pearl.

Saw a post about intelligence tests for dogs being based on obedience and that being an unfair test, which i wholeheartedly agree with.

A similar thing happens with not only intelligence test, but creativity tests for especially children.

They get a test where they have to solve things, do things, whatever, and really it is all based on motivation, is it not?

One child might score relatively low, a child who is incredibly intelligent but either doesn’t want to do the test or simply has problems communicating, maybe they aren’t sure if they’re allowed to answer in a certain way, who knows.

At the same, a child who is not necessarily as intelligent might score the same or even higher because they were motivated, because they thought it was fun, or because they had a good day, maybe they are really just better at communication, maybe better at listening to instructions, maybe this child is an extrovert whereas the first was an introvert?

These tests aren’t fair, and really, were they ever meant to be?

He also gave intelligence tests to southern-born blacks who had lived in New York City for different lengths of time, reasoning that if selective migration was at work, length of residence in the North should make no difference in the scores, but that if environment counted, then the scores should arise in proportion to time in the North.
