Use and misuse of IQ tests - An epilogue (Post No. 100)

I would like to start this story from the final few points that need for synthesis, have been omitted in the course of this long saga, which may help to better understand the implications of the measurement of human intelligence by the samples of determinism that We met in previous games and we will provide an interpretive trail for the rest of this particular story:

" We know what the weakness mental and there arose the suspicion that all the people who are unable to adapt to their environment, which are less to the conventions of society or civil life, are the weak mental "HH Goddard, 1914.

" Not all criminals are feeble-minded but all feeble-minded people are potential criminals. That every feeble-minded woman is a prostitute potential, it would hardly challenged by someone. The moral sense as that of the business or the social or any thought process than other is a function of intelligence. Morality can not flourish and thrive if the child remains intelligence. "LM Terman, 1916.

Intelligence is so elusive and indefinable entity that can take the form that each prefers. Attribute identification with the moral conduct and adherence to social conventions today seems completely arbitrary and pointless, but maybe, deep down, the spirit of that time is not yet totally extinct and probably be wrong to underestimate the deteriorating effects that these visions compliance and approvals can produce today. You can now get an idea of \u200b\u200bwhere in reality the application of biological determinism in the social sciences went to parry, and those abuses may be committed within this conceptual framework. In his monumental work
measurement of intelligence on behalf of the army, RM Yerkes went to meet some disappointment: while most of the recruits was placed just above the limit of moron with a mental age of 13 years, including conscientious objectors, for political reasons as much as A 59% obtained a score, the higher the scale, and even the rebels and the government had fully a score higher than average. Yerkes but still found a way to comfort his prejudices, as usual, thanks to companies that meet the troops on their way:

" data results from an examination of prostitutes, according to the tests confirm the conclusion of the army, obtained test administered to civilians with prostitutes various parts of the country, that they are 30 to 60 percent deficient, and for the most senior moron, and that 15 to 25 per cent of all prostitutes are mentally capable of so low that it is wise (as the rest is possible under the laws of many states) imprison permanently in institutions for mentally weak . "RM Yerkes, 1921.
To take full advantage of this statement should make the effort to imagine the army personnel who gathers the prostitutes in the area, to wait in a big room and submit to the tests of IQ (and perhaps include an expression of man's work ...).

Yerkes was a prerequisite for the Immigration Restriction Act of 1924, and for a variety of eugenic laws enacted by various states in the U.S. in a few years. The law of Virginia for the forced sterilization of carriers of hereditary defects, real or fake, it was enacted in 1924, and was the first person convicted of an eighteen year old white named Carrie Buck, a recluse in the Colony for Epileptics and weak state of mind. His case was taken to appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States in 1927, and that was the litmus test for the validity of the law. The case of Carrie Buck would not have anything special had it not been for this historical circumstance, in turn linked to the chilling words written by Chief Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, then one of the most famous lawyers of America, at the conclusion of the proceedings for the defense of the law of Virginia, who became a kind of manifesto of the American eugenics movement: "Three generations of imbeciles are enough." Carrie Buck
Both his mother Emma Buck, then fifty-, were considered half-wit, having scored a mental age of nine and less than eight years, respectively, to test Stanford-Binet. The third generation of imbeciles, crucial to tip the scales of justice toward the sterilization was made up of six months by his daughter Carrie, Vivian Buck, who had been diagnosed with a mental impairment similar to a social worker.
In 1980, Dr. K. Ray Nelson, who became director of the Lynchburg Hospital where Carrie was sterilized, he discovered that the law of 1924 was applied until 1972, more than 4,000 forced sterilizations in Virginia. Carrie Buck was still alive and Dr. Ray Nelson decided to go see her, followed by other researchers and some journalists, and the case returned to light.
Carrie Buck was then an old simple and not very sociable, he read the newspapers and was regularly both with her sister Doris who with a neighbor that the more educated to help solve the puzzle. The first impression of Ray Nelson was confirmed by the psychologists who examined in old age: it was neither delayed nor suffering from any mental illness. So what we did in 1924 inmate in an institution for weak-minded?
The fact that this story mothers, daughters and grandchildren all have the same surname might have given you a clue already. Carrie was one of several illegitimate children of Emma Buck, was bred by the Dodds family, and lived with foster parents until seventeen, when she was raped by a relative of Dodds. Expectations from the hearing which decided the institution is not no diagnosis of mental deficiency, except for "is" the adoptive family, who had requested admission "in a school or somewhere," just want to remove from home compromising the prominence of her womb, and to protect the identity of the rapist.
At the time of first trial at the court of Virginia, 1924, the small Vivian Buck, the "third generation of imbeciles" was about six months, and the testimony of the social worker Miss Wilhelm: " It 'difficult to judge the chances of a child so small, but it seems to me that it is not exactly a normal child. For the look. I must say that, perhaps, the fact of knowing the mother can influence me in this point of view, but I saw the girl with the baby daughter of Mrs. Dodds, who has three only days older than she, and there is a difference between the two is quite marked in the development. This happened about two weeks ago. There is something that is not perfectly normal in appearance, but what exactly I can not say "is the whole of the evidence against the child's mental retardation. Nothing but the file shows.
Vivian Buck died from an intestinal infection at only eight years, and Paul Lombardo, who studied the case in 1980 , managed to retrieve the report cards of his brief two years of schooling. Except for one D in math, his ratings were between B and C in all subjects, with A in conduct. It was a brilliant scholar, as well as fellow school we all had just enough votes they obtained.
Nothing is known of Emma Buck, but at this point it is easy to doubt that his alleged mental impairment is identified only by his conduct low morale.
"Three generations of imbeciles are enough. "And probably in this soria there is no fool, not one. Two generations of children born out of wedlock enough. Carrie Buck was sterilized at twenty, and his family was considered a health hazard mind of the nation, but it was probably the sanctimonious puritanism of the United States to be threatened, not the intellectual quality of the country.
But it's not over yet. When, in 1980, Dr. Ray Nelson interviewed the protagonists and survivors to reconstruct the events of trial at the Supreme Court, the "Three generations of imbeciles are enough" of Justice Holmes, Doris Buck, Carrie's sister, suddenly burst into tears. Suddenly, he understood why she and her husband were never able to have children who did so wish, gave her account of that phrase hit the sadness of a lifetime. He remembered that day, a girl, took her to the hospital saying she had to be operated on for appendicitis, and connected everything.
"Three generations of imbeciles are enough."
Sister Carrie Buck was sterilized without her knowledge.

Biodiversity Use and misuse of IQ test - Part 6 - Modern Times

Sir Cyril Burt ended his day by defeating, reducing fraud to support his convictions, but his idea that the low values \u200b\u200bof IQ were the stigmata through which recognize individuals inevitably destined for the lower layers of company had already marked the existence of a large number of people: the examination eleven plus ", argued that every student at the age of eleven, was the incarnation of the idea of \u200b\u200bintelligence as a unilinear scale value drive on which the people once and for all, and separated on 20% of kids who could have access to the classical schools and university, the remaining 80% considered inappropriate for higher education for schools and technical remained in force in British schools from 1944 until the mid-60s, who knows how frustrating potential talent. In addition, the
g, 's "general intelligence" Spearman resurrected more times: in 1969, Arthur Jensen published in the United States How Much Can We Boost IQ and Scholastic Achievement? that caused a sensation because it sounded like a definitive demonstration of lower innate intelligence of blacks, with 15 points of deviation from the average white (remember to historicize to better understand the context in which certain statements are taken on public opinion: we are in the battle for civil rights and Martin Luther King was assassinated a few months); in his work the g shone like a lighthouse which illuminates the universe could even be the measure of value not only of humans but of all living things, of course, arranged in a linear scale from bottom to top. Feel it here:
" The common features of experimental tests developed by psychologists compared, most of which clearly distinguish, say, chickens, dogs, dogs from monkeys and apes from chimpanzee, indicate that they are roughly ordered along a dimension g g (...) The can be seen as a concept with a broad-based interspecies biological culminating in primates. "
On this caricature of evolution as a linear scale of progress I have already written in the past, and this case is one of the most embarrassing I've ever met. Jensen picked up all errors that we encountered repeatedly in this series of six stories of determinism: the reification (in this case, runaway ) g of Spearman mathematical abstraction from a real mental function, the classification of complex entities (people) along a linear scale on the basis a single numerical value, the category mistake to use the causal determinants of differences within groups to explain the differences between groups (values \u200b\u200bof the heritability of IQ within groups to claim a genetic basis for differences between blacks and whites), the confusion between "hereditary" and "inevitable and unchangeable."
But guess what are the most solid data on the heritability of IQ is based on which Jensen? Again, studies on identical twins fake Burt: fraud is discovered only a few years later. Find
here a reply to the criticisms of Gould in which Jensen, in my view, is given in the foot more than once. In 1994
the g resurrected again when Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray published, amid great fanfare, The Bell Curve , despite the pervasive advertising that accompanied him, this text also presented no new arguments with respect to what has been seen, covering the old prejudices in a most modern statistical framework, but used with evident bad faith: it hides the weakness of the correlations, it is perfectly silent data against known and available, and so on. The Bell Curve pen had little academic value, and it was nothing more than advocacy of a cause: the social inequalities are justified by the accumulation in the lower strata of society intellectually less gifted individuals, who report their inferior genes to their offspring, and blacks are burdened with those fateful and inescapable 15 points in less than an average IQ than whites to make any vain hope of social redemption. And 'no need, therefore the community to engage in mass education programs and invest resources in welfare, social inequalities because they are irreversible. But because this argument is sustainable, is once again must occur four basic premises that we have always met since the beginning of this long discourse - that intelligence is governed by any single factor and unit - which has measured and classified - that both hereditary and genetically determined - that is unchangeable. If any of these assumptions were false, the whole building would collapse. Herrnstein and Murray defended nor ever discussed any of these critical foundations of their work, just gave it for granted. The only point on which we spent was to demonstrate that the results of IQ tests were not subject to statistical distortion, so if the average IQ of blacks was 85, and the average of 100 whites, the difference was not considered reliable and sitematiche subject to distortion. But if a century of fine psychometricians are dedicated to this measurement technique, I'd be very surprised if they brought with them yet due to defects in method as distorting the results! What The Bell Curve that refused to discuss is if the blacks are, on average, a score of 85 and 100 whites, it's because the blacks live, on average, in worse social conditions than whites? And 'this is the distortion that interests us, not about the flaws of the measure.
Finally, the sample from which, months ago, had left the starting point for all this long review of the topic: Professor Richard Lynn, University of Dublin, which recently caused a bit of fuss in Italy, saying that the Southerners are less intelligent than northern Italians ( touch ). For him to classify peoples and nations based on the values \u200b\u200bof IQ is a true passion. In his most famous book, IQ and the Wealth of Nations (2002), has under any differences in wealth or poverty, backwardness and progress, the average IQ of nation by nation. It is worth just doing a few methodological remarks: Lynn ranking based on their average IQ 185 countries, the data available were actually 81. For the other 104 nations, or the value is extrapolated from other sources, or obtained as the average of neighboring countries (some of which, it must be assumed, in turn, the data will have been produced in the same way).
First observation: if here, instead of IQ, it comes to productivity of dairy cows, no Livestock magazine would never have agreed to publish data obtained in this manner.
Second observation: the method by which missing data are obtained, assumes that there is a relationship between ethnic groups, or at least geographically close, and their values \u200b\u200bof QI, which is the thesis that you would like to demonstrate, the circularity of the demonstration is not involved As often happens, the interpretation of results, but even in their production, in the etymologically strict sense of "pre-judgment." But these
sterile exercises of classification for groups of human value, from time to time brings at least some positive note.
For example, to the "fateful 15 IQ points" you end up discovering that the average difference of 15 points, actually use it quite often.
of 15 points increased the average IQ in some countries in the 40 years following the end of World War II, in parallel with the improvement of general conditions of social structure and education, and 15 points is the difference in average IQ between Catholics and Protestants in 'Northern Ireland, in favor of the Protestants (1). The Northern Irish Catholics and Protestants are not two different ethnic groups: unless you want to argue that the religious sect is genetically determined, it will be worthwhile to recognize that the 15 points of IQ are a legacy of more or less standardized featuring groups socially disadvantaged?

Ward's Genetics Answers

Use and misuse of IQ test - Part 5 - Unreal Thing

The reasons for this fifth episode comes two months after the publication of the fourth are many and varied, and most personal, but at least one of these reasons, however, is intrinsic to the subject: I would have liked summarize the characteristic features of biological determinism applied to the study of intelligence, his age begins roughly with the 30s, and new conceptual forms that would emerge in particular the rapid development of genetics and statistics at that time. I have read and reread, and Well, I could not find anything. No new conceptual elaboration, no particular theoretical innovation ... has always continued to repeat the same mistakes at the beginning of the century by Goddard and associates, "improving" in the light of new genetic knowledge, and treating them with more sophisticated statistical techniques. But the concepts and logic underlying the errors do not change ever. In
Intelligence and Prejudice, SJ Gould ago to begin this phase of history with the invention of the statistical technique of factor analysis, which allows you to summarize in a few major components of very large matrices of correlations between different measures. Charles Spearman, psychologists and statisticians in London, he developed this technique specifically for the study of the reactive mind. He found that all the tests (eg. Spatial, verbal, numerical, etc.). Have a certain positive correlation (ie that those who manage well in a kind of test is intended, generally, to obtain good results in others). The axis on which the project all the positive correlations (I try to slip into a more succinct as possible on the mathematical treatment) is the first principal component, which Spearman called g, or general intelligence. He felt so real that they had identified the real measure of intelligence, a kind of "energy", measurable and scalable, which fed all mental activity, and finally gave a theoretical basis for the Intelligence Quotient, a measure hitherto Wizard only by blind empiricism: the IQ test is valid as a measure g, the new philosopher's stone of psychology. I will not go into technical details, and I will only say that an American psychologist LL Thurstone, starting in 1935, razed the g Spearman simply distributing the same matrix of correlations in the groups as homogeneous as possible, on multiple axes different from their equivalent, representing, in our example, the distinct spatial ability, verbal, numerical, etc.. The statistical changes introduced by Thurstone explained exactly the same amount of information, with the surprising effect that the first principal component, the most valuable and "objective" Spearman's g, the measure of "true" intelligence, simply ... disappeared.
The motto that guides the valuable work of statisticians, to whose work we all have to gratitude, is that if something exists, it must somehow be measured. You just have to be careful not to get carried away and assert arbitrarily transitive property: the one that produces a statistical value is not necessarily a real entity. The debate between Spearman and Thurstone was on fire, but summed up, in a nutshell, in mutual accusation of having taken for a specific property of our minds that this was merely a mathematical abstraction. Both accusations were easily prevailed over the defenses. As flawed
error of reification (treating an abstract concept such as the concrete entity) in a similar way to that of Spearman, Thurstone's interpretation could be considered today to be awarded a posthumous revenge, with the conception of Gardner's multiple intelligences currently in vogue. But
g Spearman raged long, and as a single, innate, and classified, provided a convenient tool for measuring people with a single number, and their arrangement along a single scale of value.
Spearman was convinced that intelligence was hereditary, with no proof, but simply because it was variable among individuals (just like Goddard), shared the racist conventional conceptions of the time (however, stressed that individual variations in intelligence within races largely hung over the small mean differences between races), and was a supporter of the Immigration Restriction Act in the U.S. 1924 ( see section 4), but nell'infuriare contentions on social and political implications of his publications, was held on the sidelines after all, remained a psychologist, and his primary concern was the understanding of intelligence.
His most faithful disciple, and his successor, in 1932, professor of psychology at University College London, Sir Cyril Burt, was always obsessed instead dell'innatismo idea, which remained his obsession since his first publication (1909) until his death (1971). Initially, he adopted the idea of \u200b\u200ban intelligence unit, innate and heritable (as he had inherited from his teacher ... Spearman), simply as a pure dogma immune from discussion, and then defended it with a fervor more and more excited , and increasingly frustrated by the lack of reliable data to support. To see what I mean, just know that he tried to organize experiments on samples of boys, the first of which compared a group of children of small traders of a primary school with pupils from the upper classes of a prestigious school. I get proof that the scions of good families were more intelligent than those of the middle class. Apart from the pathetically small sample (43 children in all), his "proof" that this difference was hereditary and not due to environmental conditions is reduced: 1) a series of arguments, specious up to ridicule, that the conditions environment in which children had been living should not have too much influence on the test results, 2) the fact that the intelligence of children is correlated with that of their parents. And this could be interesting to have an argument, except that the intelligence of the parents ... was never measured: Burt estimate based on their occupation and income. The circularity of the argument is even surprising for its sloppiness: it seeks to show that intelligence is inherited and not dependent on the socio-cultural conditions, and to do this using the socio-cultural conditions as a measure of intelligence.
In the remainder of his career, the experience did not help at all to eliminate prejudices the conclusions. In 1937, he published an accurate statistics on children who had lost years in school (which I consider as a proxy for low-to-intelligence). In the various suburbs of London, he found very strong correlations between the percentage of boys in school and delay factors such as number of households below the poverty level; overcrowding unemployment juvenile mortality. Environmental influences should be apparent, but the conclusion was reached that Burt bizarre social groups create less intelligent than the suburbs worst, and poor children are dumb because children whose parents remained poor because obtuse.
And here we have to do a couple of interesting observations. The first: Cyril Burt was a famous and respected scientist, and other fields created works fine, and when was the inheritance of intelligence and down the blinders and its conclusions were an annoying inaccuracy. Yet few of his contemporaries criticized him and attacked him, in spite of all logic errors were evident. This teaches us something about how society reacts when the error is useful to give a veneer of objectivity to a commonly shared dogma?
Second, Burt is not never too interested in the differences in intelligence between races, which always considered negligible, and its true mission was to demonstrate that social stratification was justified on the basis of innate biological differences.
In the United States made by Torie hereditary intelligence support to the division of society into racial groups, and discrimination of immigrants, in England, in the heart of capitalist Europe troubled by the October Revolution, Burt uses the same tool for justify inequality between social classes: a case be?
and inheritance dell'intellgenza should be used to justify reduced social mobility, the children of the rich are rich because the more intelligent of the poor. Burt
But now he realized very well dell'irrisolvibilità combination of biological inheritance and cultural heritage, so any strong correlation between the values \u200b\u200bof IQ of parents and children in the same way he could support the two interpretations of the extreme environmental factors exclusively or only genetic factors, and of course all the infinite range in between.
A single case could allow a resolution between genetic and environmental causes: monozygotic twins, that is genetically identical, separated shortly after birth and reared in environments different. The problem, of course, is the scarcity of cases. There are few published studies: one on only 12 pairs of twins, one out of 19, another of Shields, provides up to 44 pairs of twins, and is the only one to provide details about the life of these people are usually brought up by relatives narrow, or friends, or neighbors, you know and frequent, in some cases live in the same way. It 's hard to say whether it's twins "separated" and that actually live in different environments.
Cyril Burt stunned the world by publishing a series of studies on 53 well pairs of twins separated at an early age, which fully confirm the erditabilità of IQ. Even far away, the twins had Burt QI always very similar. Burt did not release details about their lives, and indeed no one has seen the original raw data, were destroyed in a small fire in the laboratory. The only primary source of publications were papers with data that are already partially developed, that Burt jealously kept in the drawer until his death.
When Burt died in 1971, and his papers were examined, discussed the most sensational scientific fraud in history: the 53 pairs of twins were invented, their IQs were fictitious, their perfect correlations in place at the table, and they were even invented employees who had collected the data around the world.
The prestigious and respected Sir Cyril Burt, who was defeated and frustrated, had pushed his desperate defense heritability of intelligence beyond legal.

Yes, I'm beating the weak. Recycling for the second time in the same direction as De Andrè overture, I am indebted to one or two episodes of the story (summary) of the Intelligence Quotient, but I assure readers that are not entirely stopped. I have been reading and collecting enough information (although not as much as I would like), which it should and will bear fruit sooner or later, and I'm not looking nearly all television, what good is it even more.
And if the information is monopolized by anecdote minimum of crime that many fans housewives, tenersene away is almost a duty, but it's fun and instructive record the echoes reflected by listening to the speeches of the same.

Today I hear of this guy by now we would have already executed in atrocious tortures, could be guilty only of aiding and abetting, and housewives foaming and bubbling fall silent and lay the Manual of the Perfect Torquemada. At least until tomorrow, when journalists decorated with bows a new and different version to give new breath to strengthen the impetus auditel trumpets and shrill chorus of trumpets.

Nobel IgNobel SPQR


Each year the awards IgNobel (those for the more abstruse research and extravagant, that everyone will know) gives me some enthusiasm, even if the motivation of the premium due is seen in its proper angle : research they should do "first smile, and then reflect." This year I am

nell'imprevista situation to see that four out of ten studies were already winners in my knowledge. Because in reality the two are in the knowledge of everyone, and two because they had raised at that time my own curiosity, and there may arise some concern for where it goes to my personal parry curiosity.
Another circumstance (I think) novel (and which helps to understand the potential value of those visionaries of the improbable "that get the IgNobel) is that the true Nobel Prize for Physics this year went to Andre Konstantin Novoselov and Geim, for their work on graphene, Andre Geim and was gratified IgNobel Prize in 2000 for a particular use of magnetic fields that had allowed him to levitate a frog.

Prizes of reasons which everyone knows are:

- that 's economy, executives of Goldman Sachs, AIG, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch and Magnetar, "for having invented and promoted a new way of investing money that maximizes gain and minimizes the financial risks for the world economy, or at least a small part of it, "and
- the chemical , BP \u200b\u200band several collaborating institutions and universities" to have refuted the old belief that oil and water do not mix. "

and those that I've read some documentation:

- transport planning, a Japanese group which carried out on a map Tokyo metropolitan area at some particles of nutrients of the most important towns and the surrounding area, and noted that a fungus, those who once called myxomycetes (now it seems that the Phylum Myxomycota no longer exists and I do not know how this stuff is called) the nutrients reach the network of filaments producing more efficient and economical as possible (according to human standards), which rather faithfully reproduced on the map , subway lines and suburban railways. Moral: the planners of public transport could be replaced with identical results mold, however, also found that direct observation by users;
- Zoology, University of Bristol, for the discovery of the practice of oral sex in some species of bats (the details are, uh, maybe next time).

The six other awards are still worthy of attention: Among the winners there is also an Italian group (University of Catania), to
- management: a mathematical model shows that companies and institutions can gain efficiency by distributing rewards and promotions in a completely random (and here I think many will draw on its experience);

and again:
- engineering, a British-Mexican team that has developed a method for collecting mucus of the whales with a remote-controlled helicopter;
- medicine, a Dutch group that has shown how a roller coaster ride can hold asthma symptoms;
- physical , a group that New Zealand has shown experimentally that wear socks over shoes significantly reduces the chances of slipping on an icy road walking (chapeau!)
- public health, a U.S. group that has studied the bacteria that, in laboratories, researchers are setting up the beard (once again there might be some cause for personal concern, with which there tedierò)
- peace (!), a British group that has demonstrated swearing that relieves the sensation of pain (and this was something that anyone is given a hammer on a finger has got to try, and now finally is a scientific confirmation).

expect tough positions taken by the Vatican on the allocation of that premium (I wonder if it falls within the sphere of bioethics or not ... oh, well).

It is not the first time that these things happen in neighboring states to Israel more than once, Lebanon was the scene of clashes because the Israelis had crossed the border, one of the most terrifying few year or so ago along the Gaza Strip, killing thousands of innocent people with their bombing and their tanks with the Star of David, in the Gaza Strip to "flush out" cells of Hamas. A year ago, and some even touched on the fate of Lebanon with bombing "targeted" that killed many civilians, who will have to now? In the West Bank is no longer: there is a wall separating the top of the old Berlin Wall, there are big problems in that area, Syria? Mahh ... Likely target. Force Israel continues.

Meanwhile the idiots of the world, including Obamino, do not care or take very little of the situation.
