A crítica desinformada aos testes de inteligência
Palabras clave:
Testes psicológicos, medição do comportamento, crítica da mediçãoResumen
Prestes a comemorar um século da criação dos testes psicológicos e, com ela, a sofisticação da avaliação psicológica, o presente artigo pretende apresentar alguns dos pontos polêmicos que acompanham a produção e aplicação dos instrumentos psicológicos, principalmente aqueles relacionados à medição da capacidade intelectual. Discute-se que o desprestígio dos testes de inteligência no país deve-se, em primeiro lugar, ao desconhecimento dos princípios básicos sobre construção de testes, o que permite freqüentemente que se exija dos testes o que não pode ser esperado (ex. predição perfeita) e, em segundo lugar, a exacerbação de crenças políticas pretensamente científicas. Conclui-se que os testes que, inicialmente, indicaram a existência de grandes diferenças intelectuais entre grupos humanos conforme a etnia, faixa etária e gênero sexual são os mesmos que atualmente indicam que essas diferenças estão diminuindo. Os testes continuam sendo os mesmos, porém mudaram as condições sociais. Portanto, os testes não criam diferenças intelectuais, apenas as retratam.
