IQ : a smart history of a failed idea
Murdoch, Stephen, 1968-2008
Book
While IQ tests have some predictive power, they don't explain people's capacity to think and understand the world around them. This work reveals how universal education, immigration into the US in the early 20th century and the demands of mobilisation in the First World War created the need to rank populations by intelligence.
