IQ and Science: The Mysterious Burt Affair.

Jensen, Arthur R.

Public Interest, n105 p93-106 Fall 1991

The author recounts his experiences investigating alleged fraud by Cyril Burt (1976) in his work on the genetic foundations of human intelligence. The evidence fails to prove Burt guilty, and his assertions about the genetic factors of individual differences in intelligence are finding corroboration in contemporary psychology. (SLD)
