Originally published in Contemporary Psychology: APA Review of Books, 2004, Vol 49(5), 574–577. Intelligence, Race, and Genetics: Conversations With Arthur R. Jensen (see record 2002-06490-000) is an interview of Professor Jensen and is not a critique or a condemnation of his work, of which there are aplenty. The reviewer argues that this slender volume is probably the best single source of material about Arthur Jensen, about the basic tenets of intelligence and group differences, about g, general intelligence, and about the struggles and controversies that have embraced Jensen as well as, individuals aside, the concept of intelligence, group differences in test performance, and the broad concepts of human abilities.
