Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have found that African-Americans with a particular IQ score perform about the same in school and on other tasks as do European-Americans with the same IQ score. Furthermore, efforts have been made to eliminate cultural biases and create more culturally fair tests. While there may be factors such as socioeconomic status that affect performance on IQ tests, these do not necessarily constitute bias.
