IN THE MOOD for something really subversive? If so, read A Question of Intelligence, by Daniel Seligman, a regular columnist and former senior editor at Fortune magazine. What we have here is a book on IQ tests—what they are, what they measure, and what they mean for everyday life. Seligman, it is no secret, had trouble finding a publisher. That is part of the story of intelligence testing, too. One explanation of his troubles may be that prospective publishers discovered that the book was too clearly written for so rich a lode of forbidden facts.
