Psychologists can isolate innate intelligence from educational attainment in testing

4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Psychometric and genetic research routinely distinguishes between innate or fluid cognitive abilities and later educational attainment, demonstrating that they can be differentiated empirically.

The analysis

The claim passes Step 0 as a specific, empirical, and testable assertion about psychometric testing and cognitive research. The provided literature repeatedly separates fluid intelligence, general cognitive ability, and genetic predictors thereof from educational attainment and crystallized measures (e.g., Papers 0, 1, 7, and 10), supporting the feasibility of isolating these constructs.
