Many early intelligence tests were culturally biased,favoring people who were from urban rather than rural environments,middle-socioeconomic status rather than low-socioeconomic status,and white rather than African American.Explain this concept and how it applies to the modern testing movement.

Researchers have developed culture-fair tests,which are intelligence tests that aim to avoid cultural bias.Two types of culture-fair tests have been developed.The first includes questions that are familiar to people from all socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds and the second type of culture-fair test contains no verbal questions.It is difficult to create a culture-fair test because most tests tend to reflect what the dominant culture thinks is important.
