Psychometrics, Intelligence, and Public Perception.

Carroll, John B.

Intelligence, v24 n1 p25-52 Jan-Feb 1997

R. Herrnstein and C. Murray, in "The Bell Curve," stated six propositions concerning a "g" factor of intelligence. These propositions are found to be reasonably well supported in the scientific literature. These conclusions can be reached whether or not one accepts Herrnstein and Murray's claims about the social significance of variations in intelligence. (SLD)
