yes, there is a different 'shape' to intelligence. blacks do as well as whites on the front digit span test, where you just repeat back a string of numbers in the same order. but there is a large gap when the numbers have to be repeated in reverse order.
Yep, that's where the g factor kicks in...the more complex the task, the wider the racial cognitive gap.
Is repeating back a list of 3 numbers in reverse order more complex than repeating back a list of 50 numbers in their original order?
I guess if it makes blacks look bad, then yes.
are you one of those people who see a conspiracy where tests are set up to make blacks look bad? can you imagine the money that could be made if someone could invent a test where blacks did just as well, plus there was a correlation with some other mental ability?
I would imagine that there is already a small bit of weighting towards questions that blacks seem more able to answer, just as there is towards questions that females are more likely to get correct. in the long run it doesnt make much difference.
