| Sommario/riassunto: | This book offers the reader a fresh opportunity to re-learn and re-consider the implications of intelligence testing. The authors discuss the strengths and limitations of IQ testing relative to the factors which may contribute to biased results. They review the history of the adaptation and adoption of intelligence testing; evaluate the heredity-environment debate; and discuss the specific performance factors which apply to IQ testing of those in minority ethnic groups. |
