Yikes. That's scary on many levels.
Nonsense. Is it far fetched to think that a test taken as a 17-year-old says nothing about the ability of a doctor in a medical clinic?

But if there is only one specific problem, and it can't be measured or approximated/generalized by the hundreds of intelligence subtests, then I would say that it's too specific to be an indication of a more intelligent indivdual.
If a problem can't be solved with a pen and paper in a few hours then it can't be an indication of intelligence?
You seem like you know more about the studies done about this. Maybe there is something that you can recommend. I'm just dubious of anything that asserts such certain knowledge over how the mind works. It seems like it is still supposed to be such a mystery.

When they score a 20? fricking yes it is.

Come on be honest. By the time you are wrapping up your undergrad, your curriculum is very specific. You are also in a field you are interested in. Graduate school as a whole for me, as well as many that have posted about theirs on here, was easier than undergrad. Some classes make undergraduate look like kiddy school but the program is geared towards helping you get through.
If you can pass your undergrad, getting your phd is not much 'harder'. It just takes time and dedication, and money.

For one exception? Of course not.
For multiple people from the same high school class or two? That is pretty preposterous.

Yes, 1 graduated from LSU-NO, 1 from Baylor and another is in med school currently.

Was working in O&G, company was doing layoffs. Took a field position instead of being laid off.

But why should that carry more weight than board exam scores, the MCAT, or the GRE?

It was a dumb statement, but his point is not a bad take. Getting a phd in some fields is not much more difficult than getting a bachelor's degree. No one will deny the determination it takes, but it doesn't in and of itself tell me someone is generally intelligent.

It gets a greatschools.org rating of 2 and students have an average ACT of a 16.
He's the smartest idiot.

True, but a 20 is not as limiting as you may think. You can get into most Louisiana state schools with that.

trust a high GPA more. A high GPA tells me they are willing to learn the material that is given to them. A high test score and low GPA just tells me someone is lazy. Also, none of this is relevant post highschool.
Lol
No all schools are created equal. Some schools....shite ones....it's easier to get a 4.0. While others....like Jesuit...are more difficult.
Yet everyone takes the same ACT.

so it wasnt a dumb statement.
fwiw, i was speaking for a person that has the undergrad. Continuing on to get the phd is more time and determination than it is intelligence

Again. There are probably a lot of exceptions, but it's highly unlikely that darryljames is telling the truth (history included).

So did everyone learn the same exact material that was given on the ACT?
