So-called “intelligence testing” won’t always get you to excellence either. The NFL uses the Wonderlic test–the same one Duke Power used. Quarterback Travis Dorsch scored higher than any other player who ever took the test. Remember when Dorsch took the Cincinnati Bengals to the Super Bowl?

Me neither.

Nothing in the Act precludes the use of testing or measuring procedures; obviously they are useful. What Congress has forbidden is giving these devices and mechanisms controlling force unless they are demonstrably a reasonable measure of job performance. Congress has not commanded that the less qualified be preferred over the better qualified simply because of minority origins. Far from disparaging job qualifications as such, Congress has made such qualifications the controlling factor, so that race, religion, nationality, and sex become irrelevant. What Congress has commanded is that any tests used must measure the person for the job and not the person in the abstract.

I think testing for “intelligence” as a pretext for justifying predetermined outcomes is illegal discrimination. What was Duke Power’s history on this score, AO?

So ignorance really is bliss, isn’t it?

All you have to do is look it up and read it.

And you still have no idea what your talking about. Have you bothered to look into the details of the Ricci case at all? Ever?

Have you ever been in court and witnessed testimony in a trial? Expert opinions are offered for sale in any flavor you might choose.

Amused, when I don’t know something, I look it up. Now let’s check out one of your latest comments:

These experts that the city hired jusdge discriminatory effects by what criteria, objective or subjective?

What is the qualification of an expert?

Since you admonish posting bfore research, perhaps you can give us examples of what made this test discriminitory?

Now there’s three questions that you seem to believe are important to understanding the Ricci case.

And yet you don’t know the answers to them.

I do.

Because I read all about the case a month ago when Sotomayor was first nominated.

Why don’t you know the answers to these questions?

Why do you think you’re at all qualified to engage in a discussion of the case if you don’t know the answers?

Look at whoever hired Fafaroo, if only they’d access to an intelligence test.

And just one post later you wrote: “Quaker, Look it up, I shall return in a few hours, that should give you plenty of time.”

What a moron.

Amused, whenever you actually take the time to acquaint yourself with them (they’re also called “facts”) you just let us all know.

I did. Came up empty. You didn’t just make this up, did you?
