Gutfeld: These Americans are getting dumber This discussion focuses on declining IQs in the USA. Never once do these panelists mention genetics which is strange since genetics practically determines IQ. It's not the only factor influencing IQ, but it accounts for 60-85% of intelligence. Demographic patterns in the USA have resulted in a steady decline in IQ since the 1960s, which incidentally corresponds to the initiation of affirmative action programs.
Racism and Cognitive Tests | Jordan Peterson | Heather MacDonald The SATs were intended to end racist policies by revealing "hidden talent." The problem was that there was very little "hidden talent" to be found in a certain racial group. The SAT test is a valid indicator of future academic success and an accurate indication of the reality of disparate cognitive ability as it exists between different racial groups.
