It's surprising that the Economist got caught reprinting bogus =
information from the Internet without fact checking. The original =
assertion been traced back to a posting to rec.org.mensa. The book =
cited as containing the IQ data, IQ and the Wealth of Nations, doesn't. =
The original author won't answer inquiries.
When we're asked for statistical data at the UI Library, one of the =
first things we think is "Who would compile it, and where would it be =
published?".
IQ tests were routinely given to military recruits up through WW2, but =
I don't know of any agency or institution that uses them anymore. Public =
schools don't use them either. Lacking any obvious source for the data =
immediately raises a red flag. In this case, skepticism is warranted.
