Welcome Timons! First I’ve seen ya.

Is this link a joke or something?

Timons has been around for awhile. I can’t figure the link out either. I thought maybe y’all would know.

I’m guessing it’s satire regarding the educational system in Texas.

I thought Timons was the artist formerly known as Jack Rabbit?  Niet?

Though they both hail from Texas, I believe they’re separate entities.

Not a joke, unfortunately.

Wow.  Just wow.  That is fucking crazy.  Thanks for posting, bish.

So giving the Chitling test, prepared in 1968, to current day students was a psych experiment to examine student reactions to the content? Plausible in a university Psyche 101 setting, but pretty dubious in a public high school.

That’s so disturbing.

Dubious indeedy, ToP.  This is some of the lamest back-tracking/excuse-making I’ve ever read:

Advanced Placement Psychology is a course designed to study behavior, personality and what elicits emotions through the context of various experiences or materials. The curriculum materials for the advanced course include an intelligence test written in 1968. Taking the test was a learning activity to help students see how cultural basis will influence emotions, feelings and outcomes. A comprehensive explanation on how this test illustrates bias was cut short by the teacher’s absence due to a death in the family. Both the teacher and the principal have been empathetic to the student and parent concerns. The teacher and the principal agree that a high degree of sensitivity is necessary in using such materials.”

Well, I got them all right, so I think it’s a very valid and worthwhile test.

(Of course, I didn’t really have to try very hard as they don’t even bother putting the answers upside down at the bottom, which just makes it easy for cheats.)
