Replying to LO9278 --

It has been pretty well established that success on IQ tests is not an indicator
of success in college. As a consequence, some liberal arts colleges no longer
use SATs as filters for applicants. What does this say about their predictive
ability on other endeavors? Or alternatively, what does it say about colleges'
relevanc e to later endeavors? This is probably not the final word, but it
certainly casts doubt on IQ as a useful measure of 'effectiveness' in other
tasks.
