 @timnitGebru believing that "IQ tests" (terminology hardly used any more) measure "intelligence" accurately is, at this point, foolish and it is only a tiny minority of psychologists who believe that any more. (It was never all that widely believed by psychologists, most of whom regarded the tests as tools of narrow scope.) How does he not know this? Why is this person intellectually credible? 3 comments
@pygy @timnitGebru @pygy Probably not, but the critiques of intelligence measurement go back decades before. For someone versed in statistics, it's a false statement as well as one using judgemental language. Has Prof. Bengio repudiated the statement in the intervening years? @ravenonthill I just view it as a litmus test these days. Believe in the "power" of "IQ" tests? Yeah, we can't be friends. |

@ravenonthill @timnitGebru That was written in 1996. He wouldn't phrase it as such today, at least not openly.
