Pretty interesting to see an observation one for a change instead of the standard IQ tests but the fact that a lot of the questions were biased towards American culture doesn't make it a good exam to use on an international board.

This seems very similar to the IQ test set to both american & foreign soldiers by Gould in the early 20th century.
