Dissects the controversial Jensen paper, and concludes that Jensen is wrong. (DM)

Geneticists discuss the Jensen paper and suggest upon reviewing the evidence, that the question of genetic differences between the IQ of blacks and whites cannot be answered in the present circumstances. (DM)

Attempts to show that the purportedly scientific'' empirical basis of credentialism and I.Q.-ism'' is false; and to facilitate linkages between the groups who are being discriminated against the workers' movements within the white male labor force, by showing that the same mechanisms are used to divide strata against one another so as to…

The author suggests that more empirical evidence will have to be found before environmental influence can be declared insufficient to the cause of Negro-White I.Q. score differences. (Editor/RT)

This article considered some of the assumptions underlying studies of race and I. Q., the degree to which these studies can serve as secure guides to educational strategies, and the wider implications of such research for the value systems that operate within academic institutions. (Editor/RK)

Examines the emphasis in our culture which is placed on intelligence as measured by educational tests and suggests four possibilities to prevent an educational aristocracy. (RB)

Summarizes Arthur Jensen's theories on IQ, heritability, and Black intelligence and reviews some responses to Jensen. (JLF)

From the monthly Saturday Review supplement, "Education in America, sponsored by the Charles F. Kettering Foundation.

"The Bell Curve" declares that studies of separated identical twins--the "purest" of "direct" methods for estimating IQ heritability--indicate a value of +.75-+.80. But, the main study cited suggests a heritability of "two-thirds" for the middle class, and Herrnstein and Murray neglect to mention numerous…

This article reviews sex studies of children of cousin marriages and three studies of children of incestuous matings. It is argued that these studies, taken as a whole, provide no substantial evidence for an inbreeding depression effect within the polygenic system commonly asserted to determine IQ. (Author/DB)

Criticizes claims in "The Bell Curve" that a high value for heritability of intelligence constrains the extent to which environmental changes can increase intelligence. Cites adoption studies and the increasing intelligence of successive cohorts of U.S. children as evidence that intelligence can increase substantially without heroic…

Presents social scientists' claim that IQ scores can determine a person's social, educational, and occupational future at an early age. Echoes the Platonic idea that each individual should be put to the use for which nature intended, and that IQ, which is thought to be hereditary, can effectively predict this use. (58 citations) (EMH)
