Assignment: Cultural Bias in Intelligence Testing
Watch this TED Talk: The Dark History of IQ Tests (Stefan C. Dombrowski) – 2020

Read this article: https://www.leadersproject.org/2013/03/01/effects-of-cultural-bias-on-childhood-development/#:~:text=Cultural%20bias%20occurs%20in%20testing,the%20culture%20of%20the%20child
Then reflect on (answer) the following:  In 1905, the Stanford-Binet intelligence test was introduced leading later to the concept of the Intelligence Quotient (or IQ). However, this system has been criticized for the role cultural bias plays in providing scores. Beyond online tests, have you (or someone you know) ever had your (their) IQ measured and for what purpose? Overall, do you think that intelligence testing (or standardized testing) is an effective strategy to really see how intelligent someone is? In what ways can cultural bias skew the results of these tests and how could that be resolved? While answering these questions/reflecting on this topic, you must also make at least one reference to the TED Talk and at least one reference to the article you read with citations. Do NOT use quotes. Paraphrase the content of the article and the talk in your own words. Must be formatted in APA style.
TIPS: You will want to define key terms (e.g., intelligence testing) by citing your sources. It is a good idea to introduce the topic and then use the sources to answer the questions. In order to get the highest grade, make sure to use specific examples from the sources that support your reflection (i.e., if you are discussing issues regarding intelligence testing, you would cite a specific example used in the article or video).
