"3) Group intelligence tests have a tendency to show linguistic and cultural biases, but they’re easier to give than one-on-one intelligence tests."

How does a test that compares a group of different shapes and asks one to make logical inferences from those patterns show "linguistic and cultural bias"????

Such tests show the same "racial" differences as those which use regular language.
