>>>Dan Hurley is an award-winning writer, a former contributing editor of Psychology Today, and serves as a vice president of the American Society of Journalists and Authors. He is the creator of the #1 online writing-site, “Amazing Instant Novelist.”

Whew! At first, I thought he was another alleged “expert” from Harvard... like Howard Gardner of “multiple intelligences” fame.

Sooo... if all the school systems buy these computer systems, then IMAGINE how smart people we’ll have. /s/

I wonder if the alleged IQ increase ends up decreasing if the computer is not used.

Wait a minute, aren’t IQ tests supposed to be bogus?

Wasn’t “The Bell Curve” marginalized on that basis?

The NYSlimes better be careful - they don’t realize what can of worms they are re-opening with such articles.

I just wanted to throw this out there...

How many of you realize that IQ tests are designed to give men and women the same average score? In other words, when they’re making the tests, if a question is answered correctly more often by men than by women, it is thrown out. Did you know this? It turns out that without this cheat, men would outscore women by several points.

Why would they do this? What else are they doing to our vital bodily fluids?
