The three parts of the theory are analytical ability, the ability to analyze things to judge, to criticize. Creative, the ability to create, to invent and discover and practical, the ability to apply and use what you know.

ACT and SAT each have their own parts of the country. The GRE has its lock on graduate admissions. And so, one could blame the companies, but really, economically, they have no incentive to change things very much because they're getting the business.

It's not that the creative act and the critical act are simultaneous. It's more like you blurt something out and then analyze it.

Life's Irony; Theory says, 1+1 = 2,simple, but Practical says, 1 + 1 is less equal to 2 in the summer, & slightly greater than 2 in the winter & equal to 2 if the winter temperature is less than -1 degree.

But in any case, I did poorly on the tests and so, in the first three years of school, I had teachers who thought I was stupid and when people think you're stupid, they have low expectations for you.

And if we don't have a test, what we may end up doing is going back to what this country has done before. We could use social class and we still do, but in the 50s, it was, do you have the right last name and are your parents in privileged positions?
