SAT Gauges More Than Collegiate Success

The commenter above may not be aware of research which compares SATs in low SES white students with high SES black students, showing no significant SES effects.
Nathan Brody hardly caught Lubinski, rather he falsely accused him of an elementary mistake which Lubinski did not make. This indicates a lack of perspicacity on Brody's part, and perhaps a hidden agenda as well.
Clearly SES and intelligence interact in a bi-directional manner. Given the high correlation of SAT scores and IQ, one suspects the same two way interaction applies.
