From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Mainstream Science on Intelligence" is an editorial written by Linda Gottfredson and published in the Wall Street Journal on December 13, 1994. [1] It was a list of 25 statements which upheld many of the findings in intelligence research discussed in The Bell Curve. [1] The frequently-cited piece was reprinted in Intelligence in 1997 with additional information on its creation, the response, and a bibliography.
[edit] Controversy
Roughly a third of the 52 signatories out of the 100 scientists hand-picked by Gottfredson to receive the statement, including Gottfredson herself, have received grants from the Pioneer Fund. Eight of the signatories, including Gottfredson, currently (as of 2006) sit on the editorial board for Intelligence which reprinted it; also Detterman, another signatory, was the founder of the journal in 1977 and is its Editor-in-Chief. [2]
The Bell Curve controversy also prompted a report on the field from a task force of the American Psychological Association, titled "Intelligence: Knowns and Unknowns."
