In defense of standardized testing

[inverse]

<p>

Many eons ago when I was a student rep on the architecture school admissions committee at Columbia I read the application of a kid with dyslexia. He had abyssmal GRE scores, decent grades, a nice portfolio and stellar recommendations all of which told us to ignore the GRE score. In the end we did, but it bothered me, that I had no way of really knowing how having dyslexia might impact his architectural work.

Perhap the link followed could make you feel better. Paul MacCready, the Engineer of the Century, also have dyslexia,and as I recalled, according to his book" Doing more with Less", it make him more careful about his work.</p>
