This research paper: A 10 page paper discussing the layers of bias contained in the development of IQ tests. It was nearly a half century ago that professionals began questioning the reliability and validity of IQ tests that existed at the time and began to look more closely at the influences of environment and socioeconomic standing. Emphasis on multiculturalism further contributed to the realization that there was a strong possibility that IQ tests were not measuring what test developers – and those using the results – believed they were measuring. Though there still has been no great improvement in the tests’ abilities to overcome cultural and socioeconomic barriers, it appears that there is greater awareness of the inherent deficiencies of current testing methods. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
