>I have discovered a vast and terrible fraud at the heart of the legitimating institutions of our empire. The standard for gifted where I'm from, elite enclaves, is +2SD, or 130IQ. The top 2%. But 6.7% of students qualify as gifted. 6.7% cannot be in the top 2%!
>No wonder there's so many "gifted kid" burnouts on this shithole of a bird app. *At least* 70% of gifted kids were fraudulently labeled as such. MORE THAN TWO THIRDS are not gifted at all!
>How deep does it go? 84% of Canadian gifted kids failed to score above 130 on a retest.
>The entire system of American elite selection is founded on IQ tests and their fairness, and here we have a *mathematical guarantee* something is rotten.
>I feel like the guy who blew up Enron by discovering they spent a bajillion dollars on donuts or whatever. Either IQ tests are totally unreliable in the way we use them, there is systematic fraud in reporting, or there is systematic fraud in standards setting. Or all three.
