What Are Tests (for)?

The world of standardized testing is not objective. Comparing students under uniform conditions to get an “accurate” measure of similar status in inherently subjective. Equal treatment of unequal’s is inequality. Standardized tests discount, and even overlook, a person as an individual unto themselves with unique abilities by placing artificial criterion on the outcomes. Comparison of individuals through testing produces false results: they find what they are looking for subconsciously.
