Reflections about intelligence over 40 years

James R. Flynn

Intelligence, 2018, vol. 70, issue C, 73-83

Abstract: In 1977, I read Arthur Jensen about how the weakness of environment within groups suggested the same weakness between groups. This meant, in his mind, that no environmental explanation of the IQ gap between black and white was possible. It raised problems, in my mind, about whether we could ignore the role of environment between generations.
