Intelligence, Equality, Character, and Education.

Fletcher, Ronald

Intelligence, v15 n2 p139-49 Apr-Jun 1991

The futility of the debate between heredity and environment as determinants of intelligence is argued, with convictions inspired by C. Burt's work (apart from the question of fraud in his work). It is contended that the influence of this misconceived ideological disagreement is apparent in today's educational systems. (SLD)
