自从达拉斯牛仔队的著名教练汤姆·兰德里(Tom Landry)决定了解潜在的选秀智商以来,包括雇主在内的各种雇主都使用了12分钟50问题的智商测试,这是奇妙的测试。

体育新闻:

2018 NFL选秀资格考试的奇妙测试成绩泄露

Jordan Heck @jordanheckff美国东部时间上午9:02更新

联合收割机是NFL选秀过程中不可或缺的重要组成部分,除了位置训练和基本运动测试外,还要求准入者参加Wonderlic测试。 这些测试的分数本来应该保密,但是每年都有一些泄露。

今年,四分卫的大多数得分都由前NFL球探John Middlekauff公开。 他在最近的福克斯体育电台播客节目“科林·牛群牧群”中列出了得分。

这是他声称的分数:

2018年QB的奇妙分数
乔什·艾伦(Josh Allen):37
乔什·罗森(Josh Rosen):29
山姆·达诺德(Sam Darnold):28
贝克·梅菲尔德(Baker Mayfield):25
拉马尔·杰克逊(Lamar Jackson):13

通常,分数21等于100智商,每增加一个问题就等于增加两个智商点。 因此,怀俄明州的QB乔什·艾伦(Josh Allen)的37等于100 +((37-21)* 2)= 132。

有少量证据表明,某些球员的经纪人过去曾入侵过Wonderlic系统,例如,一名四分卫在第一次参加测试之间,从90智商提高到136智商。

有趣的是,俄克拉荷马州的梅菲尔德(Mayfield)在一项新的运动智商测试中在这五项研究中得分最高,两名研究人员正在推广这种方法以适应NFL足球运动员的需求。

会议 在新秀四分卫亚伦·罗杰斯和资深四分卫布雷特·法夫尔之间的2005绿湾训练营中:

“然后,你知道,罗杰斯,他只是个年轻,自大的孩子。 就像他们有一天在开会一样,罗杰斯说:“嘿布雷特,您的Wonderlic分数是多少?” 法弗尔说:“我不知道。” 罗杰斯(Rodgers)说,“哦,不,我愿意。 那是22岁,我有35岁。 他的东西进展不顺利。”

  1. There’s another interesting model out there called QBASE: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2018/beating-nfl-drafting-qbs

    Their model has your man Rosen as the best value and Mayfield as the best prospect: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2018/beating-nfl-drafting-qbs

    What I find interesting is Jackson. His QBASE looks real good, but that Wonderlic is a huge red flag. I think I’d want to see his Raven’s results before drafting him in the first round.

    I fear Josh Rosen is too skinny to avoid recurrent injury in the NFL, in the sense that breadth of his shoulders is notably less than, say, Ben Roethlisberger to name a huge man who is a possible Hall of Fame quarterback with a long career. Rosen's shoulders just aren't that broad, and there's not all that much you can do in the weight room about that.

Kirk Cousins just signed with the Vikings for decent money after 5 years three or four, post RGIII. And so, where did HE stand coming out the same year as a fourth-rounder?

    That has been a major problem for Sam Bradford. I saw him in person as a high school senior and he was a tall, skinny kid. I didn't believe he could ever bulk up enough to even play at the college level.

    He did bulk up and was an outstanding college qb. But I believe his naturally slight frame has left him vulnerable to injuries throughout his career. It's sad because he is immensely talented and a genuinely good guy.

    Ben Roethlisberger to name a huge man who is a possible Hall of Fame quarterback with a long career.
     
    They still commonly list him at 235 lbs, even though it is evident that he's probably around 300 lbs. Analysts did a side-by-side of Roethlisberger and Carson Wentz, projecting the younger QB against the veteran, and showing how they were identical in (listed) height and weight. It's comical to pretend that Ben is 235, particularly in comparison to Wentz at 235.

    When he gets sacked now he doesn't seem to get tackled. The lineman and linebackers just seem to wrap him up and if he can't get the ball out during the contact the officials whistle the play dead for forward progress.

    公平的问题。我认为答案是俱乐部显然没有根据 Wonderlic 做出雇佣决定。

    民权律师赛勒斯·梅里 (Cyrus Mehri) 出于常见原因一直在推动替代测试。 Wonderlic 无疑显示了标准的种族差距。

    如今,美国国家橄榄球联盟 (NFL) 继续要求潜在的新秀参加 Wonderlic 测试,尽管现在已经有人进行这项测试了。 2013年,联盟推出了球员评估工具,该工具由律师赛勒斯·梅里(Cyrus Mehri)和心理学教授哈罗德·戈德斯坦(Harold Goldstein)开发,他的报告导致了NFL鲁尼规则的实施。 SB Nation 的 Louis Bien 最近报道称,PAT 是一项时长 50 分钟的考试,旨在检查球员的足球智慧、心理属性、学习风格和动机线索。 “与 Wonderlic 不同,玩家不会获得数字分数,因此从技术上讲,没有办法做得不好,”Bien 写道。

    https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-a-multiple-choice-test-became-a-fixture-of-the-nfl-draft/

    来自另一个故事:

    梅里说,PAT 之所以如此命名,是因为它应该在评估的最后阶段予以考虑,因为在达阵后会尝试加分,这是一项时长 60 分钟的基于计算机的测试。梅里表示,戈德斯坦为其他行业设计的类似测试中,PAT 最类似于为消防员开发的测试。

    换句话说,它是不同影响行业的另一种产品。

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2013/02/17/nfl-combine-aptitude-test/1926409/

  12. For the quarterbacks: I suggest a multiple choice test with the five boxes spread across 180 degrees of the field of view. Would be timed to the second, so that speed counts in addition to accuracy. Of course would require one of those virtual reality headsets.

    Yeah, I’m just joking. Or maybe not?

    The AIQ has a long, long way to go. Validating a new psychometric instrument is a along and hard process. There are just not enough athletes who will ever take this thing to reach any solid conclusions. And it’s a commercial project that no real, disinterested researchers are going to bother with.

    Finally, the idea that there are components of IQ that are more relevant to sports doesn’t seem valid. The fundamental misconception of IQ is that it is limited to narrow areas, but in the big fat middle of the IQ spectrum, IQ, and all the components, verbal, match, spatial, and so on, all measure the same thing, the underlying g,这或多或少是你的大脑在完成任何任务时的工作效率。

    I think Ryan taught at Yale. 1964 was one of the rare off-years for Lombardi's Packers. The Baltimore Colts won the Western Division of the pre-merger NFL. The Colts and the great Unitas proceeded to get ambushed and thoroughly thrashed by Ryan's Browns in the championship game even though the Browns were underdogs. The next year the Ryan's Browns got whipped by Lombardi's Packers in what would be Jim Brown's final game as a pro--which speaks to how great those Packer teams were in those days. Ryan and Bart Starr were similar in style. If Ryan had been Lombardi's qb instead of Starr, Ryan would've gone to Canton

    One of the greatest lines of all time was penned by the late Red Smith of the NY Times who once wrote that the Browns offense consisted of one guy who understood Einstein's theory of relativity and ten who didn't know there even was one!

    The first time I saw Bradford I thought for sure he was close to 100% Native American. In fact I thought he bore a strong resemblance to the popular full-blooded Cherokee actor Wes Studi (who can currently be seen in “Hostiles”). So I was a bit shocked to learn that he was only 1/16th. I’m guessing that’s only the part that can be definitely traced. I’m sure that being from Oklahoma, there are probably other branches in his family tree that have a fair amount of native blood.

    @史蒂夫·塞勒

    A lot of Oklahoman do have at least a small portion of native blood. I doubt Warren is one of them. The Cherokees are one of the most liberal tribes in allowing people to enroll with very little Cherokee blood.

    And contrary to what Warren says, there is no social stigma to being part native in Oklahoma. Even hard core rednecks will willingly claim it with no shame.

    Plus, a simple DNA test could prove her claim. I'm sure she has taken the test in hopes of disproving her critics.

    , @杰克
    @史蒂夫·塞勒

    Whites from the South - meaning long lineage from the South - having Indian blood is usually quite a different than whites from other parts of the US having Indian blood. The reason is that Indian traders in the South, going back to the mid-117th century, routinely took Indian wives and fathered children. That was true even of Indian traders who already were married. Many of the subsequent, say 19th century, marriages between whites and Indians in the South were whites marrying quarter or half or even three quarters white members of a tribe.

    And some of those mostly white products of inter-marriage remained in the tribes. Cherokee chief John Ross had red hair and blue eyes; he could have passed among his Highland distant kin as pure Scottish. Creek chief Alexander McGillivray had hair that bleached blonde in the summer sun, and his eyes were variously described as green, gray, and even blue.

    It is possible that Elizabeth Warren is a tiny bit Indian and does not look it.

    Of course, the odds are greater that she has at least 1 Confederate soldier ancestor, which knowledge could drive her toward suicide. What is possible is that she had a Cherokee ancestor who fought under Cherokee Confederate General Stand Watie and who owned black slaves.

    He’s now 81 and retired, but his football career does not seem to have affected his brain. He really does appear to be possibly the smartest guy ever to play pro football. A quick excerpt from his Wikipedia entry, under the heading of Post-NFL Career:



    Soon after his retirement from the Redskins, Ryan remained in the nation's capital when he was named Director of Information Services for the U.S. House of Representatives. While there, he helped advance the computer age in politics by playing an integral role in establishing the body's first electronic voting system. This enabled voting procedures that usually ran for 45 minutes to be shortened to around 15 minutes. By the time he left the post, the office had an annual budget of eight million dollars with a staff of 225.[12]

    Ryan resigned that post to become athletic director and lecturer in mathematics at Yale University on March 7, 1977. Ryan served in that position for ten years before resigning to become the school's Associate Vice President for Institutional Planning.

    He was a member of the Rice Board of Governors from 1972 to 1976, and Ryan was recognized as a distinguished alumnus in 1987. Ryan became vice president for external affairs at Rice in August 1990, increasing annual gifts to the university to a three-year average of $32.8 million for the fiscal years 1992–94 from $21.4 million for the fiscal years 1988–90. In 1995, he resigned his post as vice president for external affairs at Rice, owing to differences with President Malcolm Gillis concerning the future course of external affairs. Ryan ended his institutional career as a professor of mathematics, and professor of computational and applied mathematics at Rice.[13]

    Ryan was president and chief executive officer of Contex Electronics, which designed and manufactured cable and interconnect products for the computer and communications industries. Ryan also served as director for America West Airlines, Sequoia Voting Systems,[14] and of Danielson Holding Corporation. He was an advisory director of United Medical Care Inc.

    Now retired, Ryan lives on 78 acres of heavily forested land[15] in Grafton, Vermont with his wife, Joan, a retired sportswriter and nationally syndicated columnist for the Washington Post.[3] One of the first female sportswriters to ever grace a locker room, his wife (not to be confused with another sportswriter named Joan Ryan)[16][17] and Ryan stayed married since their senior year at Rice, 52 years earlier.[10] In retirement, he now runs a sophisticated self-designed program that helps micro-analyze statistical behavior of the up-and-down pricing movement that underlies the pricing behavior of the futures market. He is also doing work on Oppermann's conjecture about the distribution of prime numbers.[3]

    I think Ryan taught at Yale. 1964 was one of the rare off-years for Lombardi’s Packers. The Baltimore Colts won the Western Division of the pre-merger NFL. The Colts and the great Unitas proceeded to get ambushed and thoroughly thrashed by Ryan’s Browns in the championship game even though the Browns were underdogs. The next year the Ryan’s Browns got whipped by Lombardi’s Packers in what would be Jim Brown’s final game as a pro–which speaks to how great those Packer teams were in those days. Ryan and Bart Starr were similar in style. If Ryan had been Lombardi’s qb instead of Starr, Ryan would’ve gone to Canton

    One of the greatest lines of all time was penned by the late Red Smith of the NY Times who once wrote that the Browns offense consisted of one guy who understood Einstein’s theory of relativity and ten who didn’t know there even was one!

    They still commonly list him at 235 lbs, even though it is evident that he’s probably around 300 lbs. Analysts did a side-by-side of Roethlisberger and Carson Wentz, projecting the younger QB against the veteran, and showing how they were identical in (listed) height and weight. It’s comical to pretend that Ben is 235, particularly in comparison to Wentz at 235.

    When he gets sacked now he doesn’t seem to get tackled. The lineman and linebackers just seem to wrap him up and if he can’t get the ball out during the contact the officials whistle the play dead for forward progress.

    A lot of Oklahoman do have at least a small portion of native blood. I doubt Warren is one of them. The Cherokees are one of the most liberal tribes in allowing people to enroll with very little Cherokee blood.

    And contrary to what Warren says, there is no social stigma to being part native in Oklahoma. Even hard core rednecks will willingly claim it with no shame.

    Plus, a simple DNA test could prove her claim. I’m sure she has taken the test in hopes of disproving her critics.

    Whites from the South – meaning long lineage from the South – having Indian blood is usually quite a different than whites from other parts of the US having Indian blood. The reason is that Indian traders in the South, going back to the mid-117th century, routinely took Indian wives and fathered children. That was true even of Indian traders who already were married. Many of the subsequent, say 19th century, marriages between whites and Indians in the South were whites marrying quarter or half or even three quarters white members of a tribe.

    And some of those mostly white products of inter-marriage remained in the tribes. Cherokee chief John Ross had red hair and blue eyes; he could have passed among his Highland distant kin as pure Scottish. Creek chief Alexander McGillivray had hair that bleached blonde in the summer sun, and his eyes were variously described as green, gray, and even blue.

    It is possible that Elizabeth Warren is a tiny bit Indian and does not look it.

    Of course, the odds are greater that she has at least 1 Confederate soldier ancestor, which knowledge could drive her toward suicide. What is possible is that she had a Cherokee ancestor who fought under Cherokee Confederate General Stand Watie and who owned black slaves.

    The Wonderlic is a test with an extreme premium on speed. People are NOT expected to finish the test. It's like the old ASVAB computational section in that respect. Very few people have much if any experience with that kind of test. I could believe that a person totally naive to that type of test could score a lot better in a 2nd administration of it relative to their first. What the Wonderlic rewards is the ability to quickly make decisions about which problems to solve---the identification of low hanging fruit---the ability to quickly dump problems that you could solve but would take longer than is justified by their contribution to your score ---that is, good sunk cost processing and the ability to stay totally focused and 'in the game' during the test.

    That doesn’t sound all that irrelevant to being a quarterback. Aaron Rodgers (35 Wonderlic)appears better at deciding what throws are solvable than Brett Favre (22 Wonderlic) was, judging by the current Green Bay quarterback’s phenomenally low interception rate.

    As a DC throwback, you must have noticed the wild antics of the Redskins to draft RGIII. Wonder where HE came out on the totem pole of IQ? He's out now, finished. Kirk Cousins just signed with the Vikings for decent money after 5 years three or four, post RGIII. And so, where did HE stand coming out the same year as a fourth-rounder?

    Like someone said about Bradford, Griffin is a genuinely good guy by all indications. He was raised in a household by two parents who were both career Army NCO's. Hard not to be a solid citizen with that upbringing.

    I'm an alum/fan of another B12 school, so I hated to see Baylor's rise with Griffin, but he was an amazing college QB. In hindsight though, equal credit has to be given to his HC Briles, who achieved similar results later with much less talented QB's.

    Griffin had multiple injuries in college, so his frailty was already known before he reached the NFL and the elder Shanahan didn't do him any favors with the offense they installed. Just another example of how different the NFL game is than the NCAA and why it so critical to keep your QB healthy

    就像有人评价布拉德福德一样,从各方面来看,格里芬都是一个真正的好人。他由两个父母抚养长大,他们都是职业陆军士官。受过这样的教育,很难不成为一个踏实的公民。

    我是另一所 B12 学校的校友/粉丝,所以我讨厌看到贝勒与格里芬一起崛起,但他是一名出色的大学 QB。但事后看来,同样值得赞扬的是他的 HC Briles,他后来在才华横溢的四分卫的帮助下取得了类似的成绩。

    格里芬在大学期间受过多次伤病,所以在他进入美国国家橄榄球联盟之前,他的脆弱就已经众所周知,而老沙纳汉并没有给他带来任何帮助。这只是另一个例子,说明 NFL 比赛与 NCAA 有何不同,以及为什么保持 QB 健康如此重要

    Amazing how QUIET that was. RGIII wound up in Cleveland, NFL QB graveyard. I think he was there a year. Immediately he divorced his wife back in DC, moved to Cleveland, met a 19 YO blonde that he so fell in love with he tattooed her name on his arm. Can't remember her race. They were hot shits out there for a bit. Meh, it's an old story. They can't turn down the pooze. Each is sweeter than the last and they never say no. I couldn't resist, but I wouldn't be marrying at that age, heh...

    Not sure how ancient you guys are, but RFK stadium and now Fed Ex Field in Landover, they were always a soft kind of ground, the entire DC affair is built on a swamp, almost floating, which accounts for the fierce humidity. They never had decent footing, both were 'mudders' fields where a guy like Riggins made bad days for the linebackers. RG3 needed to learn, quickly, the sort of ball control, dink-and-dunk pocket schemes that keep you upright and healthy. But he didn't have it to move around a little, find a guy fast and dump it. Every now and then, the long ball, which he threw beautifully. Great arm. But he relied on the legs, took off running too fast and after a few games, he was nicked and not such a surprise to anyone.

    Shanny and his son, who knew a thing or two about QBs knew Cousins was the real deal, likely in the mold of a Brady, but no one is Brady of course. RGIII was a "foist" because owner Snyder wanted a Black QB. We'll see, Brady turned into quite a mind. You need a fast computer in your head: Brady, Brees and Rodgers have it, Ben has it, Rivers has it. Intuition, experience and the ability to dodge with a sidestep. We'll see if Cousins really has it, but RGIII didn't. Why is that?

    It's amazing how the NFL has been able to reset its history with Super Bowl I. When the 49ers were going for the threepeat in 1990, people barely acknowledged that the Packers already did it from 65-67. The issue is that the first title didn't have a Super Bowl to cap it off. They also did it from 29-31, but there wasn't even a championship game back then.

    I am a Giants fan but many of my fellow fans don't realize that they went to SIX NFL championship games over the eight-year period from 1956-63, missing only 1957 where the Browns lost to the Lions' last NFL championship team and 1960 where the Eagles gave Vince Lombardi and the Packers their only playoff loss. The Giants went 1-5 in these games, with the 1956 win over the Bears preventing the Giants from being the original Vikings or Bills.

    FunFact: From 1954-58 the Giants' coordinators were Lombardi (offense) and Tom Landry (defense). Their last game as Giants coaches was The Greatest Game Ever Played. The Giants' record during this time was 37-21-2 (.633) with two Eastern Conference titles and one NFL Championship. And because it was before the Super Bowl, it was like it never happened.

    I think Ryan taught at Yale. 1964 was one of the rare off-years for Lombardi's Packers. The Baltimore Colts won the Western Division of the pre-merger NFL. The Colts and the great Unitas proceeded to get ambushed and thoroughly thrashed by Ryan's Browns in the championship game even though the Browns were underdogs. The next year the Ryan's Browns got whipped by Lombardi's Packers in what would be Jim Brown's final game as a pro--which speaks to how great those Packer teams were in those days. Ryan and Bart Starr were similar in style. If Ryan had been Lombardi's qb instead of Starr, Ryan would've gone to Canton

    He’s now 81 and retired, but his football career does not seem to have affected his brain. He really does appear to be possibly the smartest guy ever to play pro football. A quick excerpt from his Wikipedia entry, under the heading of Post-NFL Career:



    Soon after his retirement from the Redskins, Ryan remained in the nation's capital when he was named Director of Information Services for the U.S. House of Representatives. While there, he helped advance the computer age in politics by playing an integral role in establishing the body's first electronic voting system. This enabled voting procedures that usually ran for 45 minutes to be shortened to around 15 minutes. By the time he left the post, the office had an annual budget of eight million dollars with a staff of 225.[12]

    Ryan resigned that post to become athletic director and lecturer in mathematics at Yale University on March 7, 1977. Ryan served in that position for ten years before resigning to become the school's Associate Vice President for Institutional Planning.

    He was a member of the Rice Board of Governors from 1972 to 1976, and Ryan was recognized as a distinguished alumnus in 1987. Ryan became vice president for external affairs at Rice in August 1990, increasing annual gifts to the university to a three-year average of $32.8 million for the fiscal years 1992–94 from $21.4 million for the fiscal years 1988–90. In 1995, he resigned his post as vice president for external affairs at Rice, owing to differences with President Malcolm Gillis concerning the future course of external affairs. Ryan ended his institutional career as a professor of mathematics, and professor of computational and applied mathematics at Rice.[13]

    Ryan was president and chief executive officer of Contex Electronics, which designed and manufactured cable and interconnect products for the computer and communications industries. Ryan also served as director for America West Airlines, Sequoia Voting Systems,[14] and of Danielson Holding Corporation. He was an advisory director of United Medical Care Inc.

    Now retired, Ryan lives on 78 acres of heavily forested land[15] in Grafton, Vermont with his wife, Joan, a retired sportswriter and nationally syndicated columnist for the Washington Post.[3] One of the first female sportswriters to ever grace a locker room, his wife (not to be confused with another sportswriter named Joan Ryan)[16][17] and Ryan stayed married since their senior year at Rice, 52 years earlier.[10] In retirement, he now runs a sophisticated self-designed program that helps micro-analyze statistical behavior of the up-and-down pricing movement that underlies the pricing behavior of the futures market. He is also doing work on Oppermann's conjecture about the distribution of prime numbers.[3]

Kuhn in 1972. Blackmun stated that it was up to congress to repeal the exemption granted in Federal Baseball Club but since they hadn't they were going to use it as precedent.

    The other leagues don't have this exemption. The NFL has been granted a limited exemption in order to negotiate a national television contract, but they had to bribe Russell Long to get it. That's how the New Orleans Saints came to be.

    The NFL Draft only exists because no one has challenged it. No potential athlete wants to blackball himself from the league by challenging it. It would never pass legal muster.

RG3 needed to learn, quickly, the sort of ball control, dink-and-dunk pocket schemes that keep you upright and healthy. But he didn’t have it to move around a little, find a guy fast and dump it. Every now and then, the long ball, which he threw beautifully. Great arm. But he relied on the legs, took off running too fast and after a few games, he was nicked and not such a surprise to anyone.

    Shanny and his son, who knew a thing or two about QBs knew Cousins was the real deal, likely in the mold of a Brady, but no one is Brady of course. RGIII was a “foist” because owner Snyder wanted a Black QB. We’ll see, Brady turned into quite a mind. You need a fast computer in your head: Brady, Brees and Rodgers have it, Ben has it, Rivers has it. Intuition, experience and the ability to dodge with a sidestep. We’ll see if Cousins really has it, but RGIII didn’t. Why is that?

    The NFL is exempt from anti-trust laws. So are most major sports, I believe.

    回复:@ScarletNumber

    MLB is the only sport exempt from anti-trust laws going back to the 1922 case Federal Baseball Club v. National League. It was reaffirmed by Harry Blackmun, future author of 罗诉韦德Flood v. Kuhn in 1972. Blackmun stated that it was up to congress to repeal the exemption granted in Federal Baseball Club but since they hadn’t they were going to use it as precedent.

    The other leagues don’t have this exemption. The NFL has been granted a limited exemption in order to negotiate a national television contract, but they had to bribe Russell Long to get it. That’s how the New Orleans Saints came to be.

    The NFL Draft only exists because no one has challenged it. No potential athlete wants to blackball himself from the league by challenging it. It would never pass legal muster.

    I am a bit confused here. I own a small engineering business. If I were to give IQ tests to potential employees I would have to spend all my time swatting lawyers away. Perhaps that's not so. Does the NFL have some special exemption for this type of pre-employment screening?

    公平的问题。我认为答案是俱乐部显然没有根据 Wonderlic 做出雇佣决定。

    民权律师赛勒斯·梅里 (Cyrus Mehri) 出于常见原因一直在推动替代测试。 Wonderlic 无疑显示了标准的种族差距。

    如今,美国国家橄榄球联盟 (NFL) 继续要求潜在的新秀参加 Wonderlic 测试,尽管现在已经有人进行这项测试了。 2013年,联盟推出了球员评估工具,该工具由律师赛勒斯·梅里(Cyrus Mehri)和心理学教授哈罗德·戈德斯坦(Harold Goldstein)开发,他的报告导致了NFL鲁尼规则的实施。 SB Nation 的 Louis Bien 最近报道称,PAT 是一项时长 50 分钟的考试,旨在检查球员的足球智慧、心理属性、学习风格和动机线索。 “与 Wonderlic 不同,玩家不会获得数字分数,因此从技术上讲,没有办法做得不好,”Bien 写道。

    来自另一个故事:

    梅里说,PAT 之所以如此命名,是因为它应该在评估的最后阶段予以考虑,因为在达阵后会尝试加分,这是一项时长 60 分钟的基于计算机的测试。梅里表示,戈德斯坦为其他行业设计的类似测试中,PAT 最类似于为消防员开发的测试。

    In other words, it’s another product of the disparate-impact industry.
