Intelligence Testing in Australian Aboriginals.
Ross, Michael W.
Comparative Education, v20 n3 p371-75 1984

The Queensland Test--which has been administered to Aboriginal children--is probably fairer than most IQ tests, although it appears to measure the degree of contact with Western culture (implying socio-economic variables) rather than mental and chronological age or cognitive developmental milestones.
