Pros: quantify intelligence in order to determine students' weaknesses + address them effectively, identify students with learning disorders

Cons: inaccurate + culturaly biased towards white people, reliant on school smarts, nonrepresentative of creativity


Your answer for the last two questions relies on your own opinion
