The IQ test started in the States, and yes, it was biased. It was used on children to classify them into different groups in school. It would differentiate the "smart" from the "less bright". :P Anyway, the test was designed in a rather racist manner, being that the testers knew that, at that time, white children had more education than black. As such, without seeming racist by using an "intellectual" test, they were able to "logically" exclude black children from white schools that had been ordered to ban segregation.
I think I'm talking out of my butt, 'cause otherwise, I think I'm remembering something I saw on TV or that some teacher told me. Quite frankly, I have no clue what the crap I'm saying. ^.^ Whee!
