In a series of provocative conversations with Skeptic magazine
Ssenior editor Frank Miele, renowned University of
California-Berkeley psychologist Arthur R. Jensen details the
evolution of his thoughts on the nature of intelligence, tracing an
intellectual odyssey that leads from the programs of the Great
Society to the Bell Curve Wars and beyond. Miele cross-examines
Jensen's views on general intelligence (the g factor), racial
differences in IQ, cultural bias in IQ tests, and whether
differences in IQ are due primarily to heredity or to remediable
factors such as poverty and discrimination. With characteristic
frankness, Jensen also presents his view of the proper role of
scientific facts in establishing public policy, such as Affirmative
Action. 'Jensenism' the assertion that heredity plays an undeniably
greater role than environmental factors in racial (and other) IQ
differences, has entered the dictionary and also made Jensen a
bitterly controversial figure. Nevertheless, Intelligence, Race,
and Genetics carefully underscores the dedicated lifetime of
scrupulously scientific research that supports Jensen's
conclusions.
