The Educational Testing Service -- the maker of the SAT and the GMAT
-- has a new test called the Information and Communication literacy
assessment. The test is designed to measure your "ability to make
sense of the multiple streams of information that our computers throw
at us every day," according to a Wired News reporter who just took it
and described the process. The questions focus on completing tasks
with Internet technologies, like using search engines efficiently and
weeding out irrelevant email messages. Are such tasks really tied to
technology? Or is "Information and Communication literacy" just a way
for ETS to make money by selling more tests?
