<p>Pass the pipe bro, cos whatever you’re smoking must be good.</p>
<p>1) Timed standardized test != “academic setting within college”</p>
<p>2) Contrary to popular belief, intelligence is not a noun. You cannot “whip it out and measure it.” It is an attribute that manifests itself in many different facets of one’s personality. You can be “talented at Mathematics as we understand them today” or “talented at manipulating and interpreting a particular language” and yes, the SAT can sortof measure these things. (about as much as it can measure your propensity to slip under time pressure) But these are skills. The SAT can measure mastery of skills (including the skill of taking the SAT) but the SAT cannot measure “intelligence.” </p>
<p>3) SAT scores are weakly correlated with college success</p>
<p>4) No-one is going to sit down for three and a half hours early on a Saturday morning so that they may be assigned a numerical ranking (for their own consumption) that is weakly correlated with their ability to succeed.</p>
<p>Sorry if I come off a bit brash, but your suggestion was slightly assinine.</p>
