IQ, Race, and PC: Professor Jensen’s Opus

ARTHUR Jensen had been cheerfully recounting his problems in getting The g Factor published when finally I burst out, “Art, doesn’t it ever make you angry?” Even if he wasn’t, I was.

The g Factor is a book that an academic publisher should kill for. Arthur Jensen is among the pre-eminent psychometricians of the last half-century. At age 73, he has completed his summa. It is a book that every scholar working in the area will have to read. An indispensable reference in every psychology library. A book to hold up to young scholars as an example of why a lifetime of patient and meticulous scholarship is worth while.
