On standardized testing

The premise is that if you’re willing to go through a large amount of arbitrary work to rank high on standardized tests, you’ll also work hard when it comes to the important stuff.

What a shame.

It’s all about working harder. Not better or smarter or more creatively. Just harder.

There’s always someone who can work harder, faster and cheaper than you. Do-exactly-like-I-say people are a commodity and standardized testing selects exactly for these people.

On the other hand, the people who change history are the brilliant, insightful, risk-taking and creative individuals.

Who are you?
