"The Bell Curve": Corrected for Skew.

Kupermintz, Haggai

Education Policy Analysis Archives, v4 n20 p1-11 Dec 1996

This commentary documents errors in the statistical analyses and interpretation of empirical evidence in "The Bell Curve" by R. Herrnstein and C. Murray (1994). "The Bell Curve" neglects the role of education and grossly overstates the case for IQ as a determinant of social success. (SLD)
