The essay should be the only thing on the SAT. Your ability to form a complete, cohesive, thought is the best measure of intelligence imo.

The SAT exists to provide some objectivity in measuring students across the nation. Essays are probably the absolute worst way to achieve that function, because you're bring highly subjective opinions and biases into the process. The essay portion was moronic when they introduced it, and it's a good thing that it's gone because it introduced the same kind of variability that administrators were trying to avoid in the first place.
