An author arguing for educational reform states: 'The current emphasis on standardized testing ignores the diverse ways in which intelligence manifests in young children.'

Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the author's argument?

  1. Standardized tests were originally designed by psychologists to identify young students who most needed extra academic help.
  2. Many educators broadly agree that human intelligence is a multi-faceted construct that is genuinely quite difficult to measure well.
  3. Recent studies show standardized test scores are highly correlated with success in diverse creative and practical fields.
  4. The total number of standardized tests given each year in schools has roughly doubled over the last decade.
