Scott Douglas Jacobsen: Now, as a question to those two points, the individually administered ones and the group administered ones. Those are basically the gold standard for intelligence testing because they are the most reliable over long-term times.
Rick Rosner: The Stanford-Binet is 100 years old at least. And it kind of started off racist and cheesy. One of the semi-famous questions, I may not be remembering it right on one of the early versions was asking, “What hood ornaments went with what make of car?” Which your immigrant from Sardinia newly arrived in the US might not do so well on that a question, but over time, the questions have been made more culture fair.
Jacobsen: That leads to the Raven’s Progressive Matrices.
Rosner: RPM, they show you a tic tac toe grid with 8 of the grid squares filled in and you have to figure out which pattern goes in the 9th square on the grid, which they say is culture fair. You don’t need to know any hood ornaments to work out the problems. Though, even that test has been attacked for being favoring boys because boys might have more visual ability, I don’t know.
