Re: Slate.com on race and IQ
I think we went over this before in another thread and Taraz and other posters, myself included, posted around 10 points where it is shown through research that cultural factors have a great impact on intelligence scores. We also showed that in the field itself there is no consensus on what intelligence is.
In the very least this points towards an interactional effect and that we as of yet have too little academic consensus in the field to state absolutes.
That we get written of as politically correct dummies is really of no concern. This isn't a political discussion beyond some people taking academic results out of context and presenting them as such.
