  • Anyone who has studied Psychology, will know that Hans Eysenk (the modern father of behaviour therapy, which was based on conditioning), had the public view, that black were less intelligent than whites, based on IQ scores.

    I believe that he was right. But an IQ score is a test for certain brain functions, and are not an entire test of a brain's memory and calculation abilities. So in part he may have been right, but I'd pitch him against Dr.Mae Jemison, and he'd lose.

    The whole race thing is a comfortable discussion for me, as I am black, and confident. I think I am not stupid, but as has been pointed out rather nicely from BMMF, I do lack wit. Its a defiency that I am strangely proud of.

    You don't lack anything mate, there are huge numbers of black people from many different nationalities who are in extremely intellectual jobs + in high positions.

    I think sometimes the research in a certain time/age can have large biased on results/tests.

    There have been very prominent scientists/researchers in the past who have made claims for women having inferior IQ's too. All bollocks ;-)
