This book celebrates two triumphs in modern psychology: the successful development and application of a solid measure of general intelligence; and the personal courage and skills of the man who made this possible - Arthur R. Jensen from Berkeley University. The volume traces the history of intelligence from the early 19th century approaches, to the most recent analyses of the hierarchical structure of cognitive abilities, and documents the transition from a hopelessly confused concept of intelligence to the development of an objective measure of psychometric g. The contributions illustrate the impressive power g has with respect to predicting educational achievement, getting an attractive job, or social stratification. The book is divided into six parts as follows: Part I presents the most recent higher-stream analysis of cognitive abilities, Part II deals with biological aspects of g, such as research on brain imaging, glucose uptake, working memory, reaction time, inspection time, and other biological correlates, and concludes with the latest findings in g-related molecular genetics. Part III addresses demographic aspects of g, such as geographic-, race-, and sex-differences, and introduces differential psychological aspects as well. Part IV concentrates on the g nexus, and relates such highly diverse topics as sociology, genius, retardation, training, education, jobs, and crime to g. Part V contains chapters critical of research on g and its genetic relationship, and also presents a rejoinder. Part VI looks at one of the greatest contemporary psychologists, Professor Emeritus Arthur R. Jensen as teacher and mentor.

    5.0 out of 5 stars outstanding edited volume
    Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2011
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    This book is top notch reading for the field of human intelligence research. Although a few people were allowed to make contributions to it and should not have, the majority of the chapters are of excellent quality.

    The best two chapters were written by Nyborg. One deals with the persecution of intelligence researchers who have dared to study topics that are not approved by the PC police. The other deals with the various studies of sex difference in intelligence. Subsequent to this publication, there have been numerous additional papers confirming the sex difference that was shown by Nyborg.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wide Variety of contributions, but overall very solid
    Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2004
    Format: Hardcover
    Arthur Jensen is one of the major contributors to differential psychology, and this tome honors him well. As with almost any festschrift, there are high and low points. Fortunately, the low points are few (namely, Sternberg's self-aggrandizing chapter) and the high points are many (esp. Gottfredson's, Rushton's, Gignac's & Deary's chapters). For anyone who wishes to better understand both Dr. Jensen and his monumental contribution to psychology, this should definitely be on the to-read list.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Jensen évalué
    Reviewed in France on May 14, 2018
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    Ce gros ouvrage fait le point sur l'apport de Jensen à l'étude scientifique de l'intelligence, c'est grâce à lui que c'est devenu un des piliers les plus solides de l'investigation psychologique. Édité par Helmut Nyborg, ce volume contient un grand nombre de chapitres écrits par les plus grands spécialistes mondiaux, aussi bien favorables que critiques par rapport à Jensen. Ainsi le chapitre fort remarqué de Sternberg "My House is a Very Very Very Fine House - But it is Not the Only House", une défense et illustration de la théorie triarchique de l'intelligence qui s'oppose radialement aux vues de Jensen et j'ajouterai à ceux de la plupart des spécialistes du domaine. Quoi qu'il en soit, voici un volume de contributions qui ne manqueront pas d'intéresser les spécialistes et les amateurs intéressés.
