Jensen is a controversial figure, largely for his conclusions
based on his and other research regarding the causes of race based
differences in intelligence and in this book he develops more fully
the argument he formulated in his controversial Harvard Education
Review article How Much Can We Boost IQ and Scholastic Achievement?
. In a wide-ranging survey of the evidence he argues that measured
IQ reveals a strong hereditary component and he argues that the
system of education which assumes an almost wholly environmentalist
view of the causes of group differences capitalizes on a relatively
narrow category of human abilities.
Since its original publication the controversy surrounding
Jensen s ideas has continued as successive generations of
psychologists, scientists and policy-makers have grappled with the
same issues.
