I agree. Although they may have their own internal data, it is more likely they have just not been convinced as of yet.</p>
<p>I believe the Frey/Detterman study is based on the pre-2005 exam. The addition of a writing section was not the only change in the 2005 exam. The Collegeboard also eliminated analogies from the verbal section and quantitative comparisons from the math section. They also claim to have made the exam more difficult. Whether the post 2005 exam is easier or more difficult than the earlier exam is open to debate, but it certainly is structurally different. IMO, if you are going to use a regression formula to predict an IQ score from an admissions test, you should be using the same version of the exam that was used to generate the regression. </p>
<p>It is likely there is some correlation between intelligence and performance on the SAT. Heck, there is probably some correlation between IQ and performance on your written driving test. I’m sure the SAT is a stronger predictor of IQ. But it is also likely that the high IQ societies, have not yet seen a study that convinces them of that fact. Therefore they don’t accept the later exams.</p>
