<p>The statement I was disagreeing with was </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Both IQ tests and SATs reflect a test-taker’s knowledge (in part) and some other attributes of the test-taker (in part). They actually correlate reasonably well with each other in how they sort test-takers into a rank order. </p>
<p>If your statement is that it’s best not to call an IQ test score a “measure” of “intelligence,” I agree with that. Here’s what the late Julian Stanley said about the issue: </p>
<p>“Most authorities feel that current intelligence tests are more aptly described as ‘scholastic aptitude’ tests because they are so highly related to academic performance, although current use suggests that the term intelligence test is going to be with us for some time. This reservation is based not on the opinion that intelligence tests do not reflect intelligence but on the belief that there are other kinds of intelligence that are not reflected in current tests; the term intelligence is too inclusive.” </p>

<p>That’s why Stanley treated SAT scores as closely comparable to IQ scores for the [Study</a> of Mathematically Precocious Youth](<a href=“http://www.vanderbilt.edu/Peabody/SMPY/]Study”>http://www.vanderbilt.edu/Peabody/SMPY/), which still continues.</p>
