Psychometrics and Education. The Intelligence Quotient--A Social Indicator?
Rhyn, Heinz
Zeitschrift fur Padagogik, v41 n5 p765-79 Sep-Oct 1995
Criticizes and examines the motives behind Charles Murray's "The Bell Curve." Murray's book claimed that many social problems, including crime and poverty among blacks, could be explained by African Americans' lack of intelligence as evidenced by testing. Reveals the book's skewed methodology as well as its interest-guided financial support. (MJP)
