IQ tests are used to judge the mental capacities of black Americans, a fact which places a tremendous ethical responsibility on those involved in IQ test research and administration. It is argued that most IQ test developers and administrators have abrogated this responsibility by ignoring clear cultural and racial biases in the content, administration, and interpretation of IQ tests. This article examines the validity of present IQ tests for measuring the intelligence of black Americans. It is concluded that such tests have little validity, and the issue facing contemporary psychologists is why the discipline should continue to condone their use in black communities
