Re: Slate.com on race and IQ
[ QUOTE ]
Here we go again . . .
Most of the work that is cited in that Slate article has been shown to be flawed methodologically.
To sum up the argument that has been made on this issue several times:
- What IQ tests measure and what the general intelligence factor (g) means is highly debated
- There is probably some genetic component to intelligence
- Environmental factors >>>>>>> Genetic factors
- The evidence that the IQ difference between races is genetic is tenuous at best
[/ QUOTE ]
It seems people want to look at the intelligence measure aximotatically, when the sad truth is that it is more like a 1930s hubble constant.
