Description

What does it really mean for an IQ test to be “biased”? In this episode of The Human Intelligence Podcast, Dr. Craig Frisby, author of Essentials of Assessing Bias in Intelligence Testing, explains why bias is not about score gaps but about measurement error.

We explore how psychologists detect and remove biased items, why landmark cases like Larry P. and PASE v. Hannon changed the conversation, and why breaking standardization or using “dynamic” assessments and race-norming models like SOMPA failed to improve fairness.
