When IQ tests were first being developing and were being used during World War I for new recruits to the military, they were normed on a small population of white, middle class people. The questions in the article “IQ Tests Go to War- Measuring Intelligence in the Army” are all related to general funds of information and knowledge. Basing a person’s IQ off of their fund of knowledge can be very biased and lead to an incorrect idea about that person’s intelligence since a person’s fund of knowledge is more related to exposure than to their cognitive abilities. Since these IQ were normed based on a white, middle class population, the tests would not be an accurate reflection of cognitive intelligence for people of different SES, race, ethnicity, or culture.
Today, cognitive functioning tests look at more areas of cognitive functioning besides from a person’s learned knowledge. For example, cognitive tests look at areas such as short term working memory, processing speed, and visual spatial processing. The issue of racial and cultural bias in IQ tests has significantly decreased from WWI to now since standardization samples include a proportionate number of people from different SES, racial, and ethnic groups based on Census information and test items that appear culturally biased are not included. As a school psychology student, I still find that it’s important to consider how a person’s race, ethnicity, or SES can affect their performance on cognitive tests, especially since we are still dealing with trying to decrease the disproportionate amount of students found eligible for special education based on race, ethnicity, and SES.

Why do you think there were no similar rules for male teachers?
Women were always seen as submissive. even if they were not, there were rules put in place to limit women’s freedoms. They were supposed to be keepers of the house and care takers of the family, even if they did not have a family yet. Men were always dominant; seen as the head of household. They could do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted, however they wanted as long as it was within law. It truly wasn’t fair, but it was the way of the world at that time. Also women were valued as teachers, because at some point, they would transition to schoolmaster so they wanted to keep them as healthy and save as possible through the year.

The IQ test asked a lot of questions regarding American culture; for example, one of the questions essentially asks who Laura Jean Libby is. Questions like these would be very hard for foreigners to understand. Many of the questions are biased as well, like the one that asks why a house is better than a tent. There could be someone out there, however few there are, that might prefer tents since they are avid campers or explorers. Another question asks which car company uses an air-cooled engine, which not many people might be able to answer, since some people might not have a car or lack interest in knowing what makes each of these car companies different. Many of these questions could only be answered by someone who is familiar with that field; for example, I personally would have no idea what the “Orpington” is, whereas someone who works in a farm would know.
