I agree with Clodfobble and Ibram.

I think standardized tests are a necessary evil. There are some truths about larger populations that cannot be perceived without some kind of uniform measurement, like a standardized test. This is not to be confused with the idea that a standardized test can tell everything about an individual, or even a lot about an individual. It is a tool. In this case, because it engages the intellect of the test subjects, it requires some careful consideration for the state of mind of the test subject. In my opinion, suggestions like this are valid.
