Hi Sia,

You raise a good point in the inherent subjectivity of all these measurements.

HowlerKarma,

I think the largest problem is that standardized exams and educational systems have trouble accountin/ for and engaging with truly gifted students.


The classrooms and assignments (even in college) appear to cater to the average student rather than the ones seeking to go above and beyond, along with the ambitious gifted students(unless you account for directed study classes).

Average and below-the-norm students have an easier time than the ones truly seeking knowledge for its own sake.
