I, too, am looking at this information and would like to know what you have found out. I would particularly be interested in the WISC test, which my school district uses for entrance into the gifted program.
One test item I believe to be racially biased is the puzzle of the soccer ball (the WISC test). Most of the inner city school students I know do not play soccer like many of their suburban counterparts. Therefore, the familiarity with the test item puts these students at a disadvantage.
Please email me if you have any info. Thanks!
