Predictably, Yerke?s results from all three tests identified vast numbers of morons among the eugenically inferior groups- so many that Yerkes asserted the army could not afford to reject all of them and still go to war. ?It would be totally impossible to exclude all morons,??because ?47 percent of whites and 89 percent of negros? were shown to have a mental capacity below that of a thirteen-year-old?feeblemindedness against eugenically cherished groups was indeed miniscule.

Undecided, with due respect this doesnt prove anything of the sort. All it proves is that such an opinion does exist.
One only need read the history of IQ testing to find out why it was developed, the successes its had, the issues that exist with it, and the cans of worms its opened, including the fact that it is now misrepresented by racists for their unlikely agenda.

I'm sorry but no, it is probably not. It should be fairly obvious why pupils are tested for knowledge and intelligence.

IQ doesnt measure intelligence. The correlation between the 2 is high, but not 100%. I think its reading time for you.
