One source of bias,which may explain race related IQ differences,is the fact that most IQ tests rely heavily on the
individual's:
A.MATH SKILLS
B.ABILITY TO PAY ATTENTION
C.VOCABULARY LEVEL
D.INTERPERSONAL (SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE)
I AM THINKING BETWEEN C or D, what do you think?
I am thinking that ones total life experience has a great effect on IQ testing results.
