I find it interesting that of all areas of social sciences, you choose to criticize the most robust by far-standardized testing.

Sternberg’s Triarchic theory has been soundly rejected by his peers for lack of empirical evidence, which led him to try his hands on college administration. It is interesting to note that Tufts, where he was Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, continues to use standardized testing to this day, as far as I know. In short, not all opinions are equal.

I predict the next frontier will be in molecular genetics, and I suspect we will like the results even less.
