DEI And Aviation — Boeing’s take.

[pelmet]

The concept of IQ tests has been generally dismissed in modern psychology due to the difficulties in defining IQ.

You could probably ask an AI tool to estimate various posters' IQs from their comments here.

I suppose, for those that don't have sufficient IQ to make a reasonable estimate without the need to rely on AI.

The whole concept of IQ is questionable because there isn’t a widely accepted definition of intelligence. For linguistic tasks, women score higher. For mathematical/spatial tasks men score higher; does being good with languages mean you are smarter than someone who is good with math, or is it vice versa?

both of those are subjects on an IQ test, amongst others.

I dont think thats true at all. It doesnt test all aspects of intelligence (ie social) however what it does measure it is fairly accurate (ie logic). Intelligence is a abstract concept so yes its hard to define and measure, but IQ tests are designed to test the measurable aspects of intelligence as accurately as possible. Its not a complete or perfect picture, but it is accurate for what it is and Im not aware of a method thats more accurate or perfect for testing intelligence.

This is very very untrue. Where did you even get that from? While theres never going to be a "perfect" way to measure something so abstract, IQ testing has plenty of merit in neuropsychology, and it has been an ever-evolving process over the last 100 years to refine the accuracy of the testing.

Why is there no DEI in professional sports? I'm sure there are many women and minorities that would love to be in the NHL.

The first time was my Ed Psych course during my B.Ed. In 1992.
The second time was during my M.Ed. A couple of years ago.
Go look up multiple intelligences.
IQ is a simplistic idea which carries very little weight to those who study cognition and learning.

There is!

Look at all the black people in basketball, the Hispanics in baseball, the mentally challenged people in football. NHL? I can’t pronounce half their names so who knows if they women or not these days?

You either misunderstood or were misinformed then.
