I’ll be away for the next week. Have fun everyone! I’ve temporarily enabled comment moderation for all comments. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer.

I’ll be completely incommunicado, so I hope everyone out there in the world behaves. Try not to destroy too much while I’m away. 🙂

    Hello Jayman. I would love to see your take on some of the things that present challenges to the validity of IQ as a construct and genetic determinism as more important that environmental determinism. For example, the only references that I could find to stereotype threat via a google search of this blog were from other people in comments a couple of times. It seems like stereotype threat has proven that IQ is a flimsy construct for measuring the intelligence of stereotyped peoples.

    Also, Turkheimer (2003) showed that the heritability of IQ is quite low for impoverished people.
