"Intelligence," as observed by many leading researchers in the matter (I can cite studies produced at both MIT and Harvard) is not agreed upon, and virtually every definition is different than every other. IQ is far, far more dangerous, as it was NEVER meant to be equated with intelligence (which we have no way of defining), and the dangers of doing so were espoused its creators, as well as just about everyone who has "developed" the test since. Also, researchers at many of the world's most prestigious universities CANNOT DEFINE ethnic groups or "races," other than to offer one actual truth: they do not exist. That is, "white" was invented at the end of the 17th century as a means artificial definition. Latino was invented in the 70s. It was never used before then. And try--TRY!--to find some way to group all of the complexity and diversity within, let's say, Argentina, into one "ethnic" group. It's insane, and thinking people know it's insane. This is a dangerous website, and it is based on defunct and dangerous assumptions, particularly those that go under the label "social darwinism" and the like. <br />Hugh Zarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07495258671403879844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-81926257672519823102015-09-19T15:19:28.357+01:002015-09-19T15:19:28.357+01:00Exactly what I thought.

Whatever the case, the other results seem to largely be an artifact of the data. The B/W difference peeked at close to 1.3 SD in the 70s to 80s when the LTT survey started, though there are NAEP pilot results prior, from the 50s to 60s, which show smaller differences, and the current NAEP-LTT differences,based on a more test teachable exam as the questions remain the same each year, are smaller than the NAEP-Main ones.When one looks across all 2010-2013 NAEP Main scores for grade 12 (2013 reading (0.81), 2013 math (0.97), 2013 vocabulary (0.90), 2009 science (1.09), 2010 civics (.90), 2012 economics (.99), 2010 geography (1.24), 2010 history (.96), 2011 writing (.91) one gets a d-value of 0.97, which is equivalent to a composite scores of ~ 1.1 SD (which is more comparable with FSIQ). As for decline, if one wants to start in the 60s and just use all representative school samples e.g., EEO math, one gets a decline of ~ 0.1 SD, starting in the 70s, the decline is maybe 0.25 SD. The projections will be rather sensitive to the starting year.
