Originally published in 1988, Human Abilities in Cultural Context
constituted a major development in conceptualising and studying
human abilities. It formed a unique reference frame. This study
offers a re-evaluation of ability theory by the editors, S. H.
Irvine and J. W. Berry, and strong individual statements by H. J.
Eysenck, Arthur R. Jensen, Joseph R. Royce, and Robert J.
Sternberg, who represent markedly different approaches to the
measurement of intelligence. It also focuses on contexts in which
the limits of assessment by psychological tests are defined: in
minority native groups in North America, in migrants to Britain, in
lower-caste enclaves in India, among African minorities, and among
Australian Aborigines. Written by long-term residents of the
regions in question, these chapters presented a wealth of fresh
data in relation to Western formulations of theory and practice.
