Does the IQ God Exist?
Siegel, Linda S.
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v41 n3 p283-88 Sep 1995
Responds to "The Bell Curve" by arguing that IQ is merely a statistical fiction, an artificial construct not corresponding to any real entity. Discusses the "seductive statistical trap of factor analysis" as it relates to IQ tests, multiple intelligences, content and bias of IQ tests, lack of validity of IQ tests for individual cases, and stability of IQ scores.
