<p>That’s one of the most foolish statements I’ve heard on this forum. </p>
<p>No IQ test has a perfect correlation with any other IQ test. Even SAT scores for the same person who does no studying in between administrations will not have a correlation of 1. The fact of the matter is that the SAT correlates with scores on IQ tests as strongly as do most official IQ tests.</p>
<p>^I revoke my previous statement since I found a source in which it gives you the right to say “The SAT is so strongly correlated with IQ scores that it is essentially an IQ test.”</p>

<p>The SAT correlates more wiht IQ tests than it does with itself.</p>
<p>IMHO, neither are good markers of intelligence, but the data suggests that they ARE measuring the same thing.</p>
<p>BTW, it is possible to raise IQ through working-memory training. Well, let me qualify that, the evidence suggests that it is, but there are a few who challenge it. Personally, I’ve witnessed 30+ IQ point gains ON DIFFERENT STYLES OF TESTS (they arent just taking the same test again). These people also start doing better in school, etc etc, so they are really are getting better at things other than taking IQ tests.</p>
<p>Usually, its just the people who are LD and have terrible working memory who go up that high. If you have high working memory already, it probably won’t go up that much.</p>
<p>Anyways, just my 2 cents.</p>
