Book Reviews of Bias in Mental Testing
Book Review: A Classic Statement on a very Controversial Topic
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Jensen is one of the great educational pyschologists of our time and this is his classic treatment on a topic of IQ testing. It is enormously detailed and comprehensive which is both a virtue and a defect. There is just too much information for the casual reader. Even I had some tough going in getting through all he material contained therein. A good working knowledge of statistics is required if one is to fully appreciate the book's contents. I found I had to break out my old statistics tests in order to get through the more theoretical patches. Yet. all in all, this is a book that one can deeply respect and value and that one from which one can benefit, even though you might strongly disagree with Dr. Jensen's basic position. In his chosen field, In find him nothing less than a national treasure whose work needs a much wider audience.I suggest that, before you read this book, you first read Dr. Jensen's later work "The g-Factor," which is newer and a much more accesible introduction to the field of intelligence testing than the present volume and contains information on more current research in the field.
