You really can't think of any application, for good or ill, for information about systematic variation in human psychological traits? When you're looking for a husband, it seems like it would be awfully useful to know what men are like. When you see racial gaps on the MCAT, if seems like it would be awfully useful to know if your test is simply biased (in which case you would want to immediately try to fix it) or if there's actually a true difference in ability (for whatever reason).
Good points. But I still maintain that those aren't the main reasons why people care about these issues. If we could remove the main reasons, that would be good.
