Description

Pepper Stetler’s daughter Louisa, who has Down syndrome, was required to take IQ tests to access an education. Pepper began to question what these numbers really measure. Her search uncovered the complex history of the IQ test and how it shaped who was seen as capable. We discuss Pepper’s deeply personal relationship to IQ testing and the systems that often miss the full humanity of the people they claim to assess.
