Ebook: IQ in Question : The Truth about Intelligence

"Michael Howe has presented an accessible and thorough discussion of all aspects of IQ and intelligence. This book is an important counterweight to many prevailing myths' - Professor George Mandler, University of California, San Diego " This provocative account exposes serious flaws in our most widely accepted beliefs about intelligence that have influenced contemporary society. Michael Howe contradicts erroneous and destructive claims such as: IQ tests provide a measure of inherent mental capacities; intelligence and race' are linked; IQ measures are good predictors of a person's success; intelligence cannot be changed; there is a gene for intelligence'; and low IQ always means restricted capabilities.
