I can't say I saw that particular movie, but you're absolutely right. This is a tricky idea. On the one hand, maybe you can test people for a certain level of intelligence, and maybe some people are better suited for certain jobs than others. On the other hand, how is one test made up of a series of questions going to accurately give you that information?

Yeah. I mean, as far as determining what somebody is going to do with the rest of their life. When I was in high school, I think they did take the test and I skipped that day. And that tells you all you need to know. Yeah. They were like, don't worry about it. You missed the test like every other test. But we didn't need to give you the test. We have an idea anyway.

I like to joke that, hey, my life might not have turned out the way I thought it would, but it is a little bit comforting to know that my life did turn out the way everybody else thought it would.

So anyway, after World War One, the U.S. government got into these IQ tests and what they purported to mean. They started using the dubious results in all kinds of shady ways. One can even argue that the Immigration Restriction Act of 1924 was influenced by these tests. The Immigration Restriction Act severely limited immigration into this country for people from Asia while favoring Europeans.

Surprise, surprise.

We're talking about America here. So, yeah, let's just go with racism. You could also argue that the whole field of psychology was validated at the time by Yerkes tests and how much the army dug it.

Yes and no. Eugenics definitely quieted down, at least for a while. But the notion that you could test someone's intelligence continued, which gets us to talking about the book, The Bell Curve.
