IQ tests (1.00 / 1) (#16)
by diogenes on Sat Nov 10, 2007 at 06:41:52 PM EST
If IQ tests are "biased" in favor of whites, then why do Asians do better than whites on them?
Numerous twin studies show that personality is about fifty percent inherited.  
About forty years ago, scientists were overwhelmingly looking for evidence to support the idea that personality and intelligence were entirely determined by upbringing and environment.  They have not found that evidence despite their best efforts.  Now you see a paradigm shift.

Um (5.00 / 2) (#17)

Are you talking to someone here?

I don't recall discussing what you say.

But I will say this - what evidence do you have that IQ has any relation to "innate intelligence?"
