| Abstract: | Comments on the article by Vasquez and Jones (see record 2006-01690-003), in which they put forward the argument that standardized tests do not evaluate much of anything worthwhile and do not assess merit. The current authors argue that Vasquez and Jones support their argument only through highly selective citations from the literature, and they discuss Vasquez and Jones' evidence for both predictive validity and predictive bias in educational and employment settings.
