I believe exsisting intellectuals SHOULD HAVE to do this as well. Many of them probably just copied the questions, and pasted them on GOOGLE and got the answers, or from another website. I am not saying they all did this, but probably 85% of them did, while the others did the test on their own without resulting to cheating.
                  I think EVERYONE whether you are already an intellectual, or wanting to become one, should have to take this, because it will really show who does, and who doesn't belong in that forum. Because I honestly think that over half of them already in that forum, probably either A.) got the answers from GOOGLE or somewhere on the internet, or B.) got the answers from another member that took and passed the test through email, or wherever else.
                  I just think it should be fair that already intellectuals should take the test. I mean afterall, it SHOULDN'T BOTHER them already to write a measly 400 words if they are "intellectuals."

Personally, I think that the existing intellectuals shoudl retake the test.  Seeing how it's been changed so dramatically, it would only be fair.  Besides, for one who deserves the intellectual status, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to force them to retake the test.

I love this, but I have one grammatical argument.

The pronoun they is hotly debated on whether or not it may be used for a gender-neutral pronoun. Something that is as such seems a bit strange to be in the guidelines. I believe that Harvard teaches that it may be used as both singular and plural, even if it wasn't originally so.

Linguistic evolution is the cause, and it may be similar to insisting upon the differences of "thou" and "ye."

I guess existing intellectuals should retake the test again to be fair because if they reaklly belong as an intellectual then there's no reason to be afraid of taking the exam again.

wth, did it.

when I first came here, I blew off the IT, did it as fast as I could as often as I could, and always managed to get one point from passing =p

I'm fairly lazy, so I just submitted a variety of writing samples from various classes.

Well I guess it allows for more stringent filtering of intellectuals.

Too bad that we have compensated by using he and him as gender neutral pronouns.

This is interesting. People whine about the test not being fair to them because they don't do well on multiple choice tests and cultural biased and then suddenly there is a written section. So basically its an accomadation to those who weren't intellectual enough to get the test correct before. Now you people say intellectuals should have to retake the test so it'll be fair or whatever? I figure the ones who took it before must be showing some sign of intelligence if they didn't need a human to be grading them.

Not to offend anyone but that sounds ridiculous. However I haven't been around lately so masybe I'm barking up a different tree.
