Based on your reading in the link above and viewing of the NPR news article (and video — trust me, it will help) “College Applicants Sweat The SATs. Perhaps They Shouldn’t”:

· Discuss some of the liabilities of using standardized test to assess future success in college

· In particular, what does the article say about the “validity” of such tests?

· What was your take on the article? Perhaps most importantly, what is the larger “take away” emerging from this article as far as establishing valid measures in the social/behavioral sciences in general, and criminology/criminal justice in particular, is concerned?

· How do we assess the validity of our measures, and why is it so difficult to establish validity in the social/behavioral sciences?

250-400 words please; this is only a discussion.
