Re: relationship between SAT scores and intelligence?

If SATs were not a pretty reliable indicator, the best colleges couldn't get away with using them.

SATs are certainly a pretty reliable indicator of academic proficiency and knowledge, but not much else, which is why the scores are used. Certainly more intelligent people are more likely to have these skills, but these skills are only a tiny portion of what makes up intelligence. They just happen to be the intelligence based skills that are most useful for school. A very large portion of this is based on personality rather than intelligence though.
