What are the dangers and uses of intelligence tests?
I believe that the dangers of intelligence tests could result in limiting the test taker. These tests are created, updated, and employed to learn things about the test taker. Over time technology, information, and experiences change. Therefore, these tests must be updated and may not align with general knowledge of the society being tested. Results may vary and using variable results as actionable facts can lead to misinformation, misunderstanding, or confusion.
A form of behaviorism study is stimulation. In this case, a subject may be provided a reward for completing a desirable function. Providing a piece of candy to a student who completes an appropriate action can be viewed as behavioral stimulation or reinforcing.

It warns that variable results from these tests can cause confusion and misunderstanding. Additionally, the report briefly mentions behaviorism, noting that rewarding desirable actions, such as giving candy to a student, is a form of behavioral reinforcement. Overall, it stresses the importance of updating intelligence tests and interpreting their results carefully to avoid negative outcomes.
