> Then those in the middle? They wouldn't always have to struggle to compete with those who will always do better.

is that really what you take from the tests?

that is to disregard everything i have said.

which you are of course free to do...

but it would be nice to think people understood what i was saying before disagreeing.

do you really think that is the message that people who score average should take?

that they will never be able to compete with people who score higher than them on some test because those people are destined to be smarter than them, to outperform them right throughout their lifespan?

do you really think that?

i don't.

that is the point.

but so long as that is the message people take...

it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

which of course works out just terrific for those who are well positioned in life to start with especially...
