PowerPuff Grrl, it is because of statistics. When the test was first designed, whites and mainly men were the test subjects...although, I have only heard this about SAT tests, not IQ. I thought IQ tests were designed for children, but not sure there. However, with SAT, they chose Q's that white males would "on average" get right statistically. Not to mention, even today, where other races take the tests, there is still this bias. On SAT there is one sectiont hat is not scored, but used to pick Q's for future tests. They only chose Q's that high scorer's typically chose. Therefore, minorities will never be statisitcally int he majority and their choices of answers are not taken into account as much. Sorry ahrd to explain and I feel I am fumbling.
