Is intelligence testing a useful method of measuring a person's potential for academic achievement? Should colleges and universities base admissions more on SAT and ACT scores or high school grades and activities? What other ways might colleges and universities predict student success?

Intelligence testing seems most useful

Explanation:

Intelligence testing is one of the oldest forms of classifying and categorizing intelligence in humans. This is done in children to detect learning disabilities and in adults to diagnose neurological/degenerative diseases that affect the brain and learning.

On the other hand Standardized tests such as the ACT and SAT are highly controversial since it does not really measure the worth of a student but the performance of the school/district. Most of these schools end up training students on how to pass a standardized tests rather than learning and enhancing intelligence.

High school grades cannot be taken into account since ever meter is different in each high school from state to state and country to country. This is the logic for standardized tests.

Colleges and universities should look at a student's overall accomplishments, their work and their goal. They must also factor in any obstacle that the student had in their way because this also requires time and energy to overcome.

All of the work as a whole should be taken together rather than a single part. This would not reflect the entirety of the student's potential or intelligence.

chavez's example shows that nonviolent protest can work well. it shows that one nonviolent man can stop a mob, which proves chavez's point and persuades people to protest nonviolently.
