	Arthur Jensen
		Arthur Jensen is an American Educational Psychologist, born August 24, 1923 and educated at the University of California, Berkeley (B.A. San Diego State College[?] (M.A., 1952) and Columbia University (Ph.D., 1956).
		Jensen was a major practitioner of individual differences psychology with a special interest in intelligence and the nature versus nurture debate, eventually arguing strongly for the heritability of intelligence.
		Jensen was condemned as racist in the late 1960s by a generation of academics in a state of reaction against the racist atrocities of the Second World War.

	Kings of Men: a Special Issue of the journal INTELLIGENCE about Arthur Jensen
		Jensen's writings are virtual tutorials on how to write science and how to deal with controversy -- stick to the available evidence, put all the evidence in it's full context, carefully explain the methods, their rationale and the assumptions, acknowledge the lack of evidence when it does not exist and avoid ad hominem arguments.
		Jensen's method of correlated vectors demonstrates that g (specifically a test's g loading) is the best predictor of that test's correlation with a given variable, in future, when a significant correlation occurs between g-factor loadings and variable X, the result might usefully be called a "Jensen Effect" (for that X variable).
		Jensen's tome does not draw back from Jensenist conclusions--that the average difference in IQ found between Blacks and Whites has a substantial hereditary component, that this difference is related mainly to the g-factor, and that it has important societal consequences.

	Amazon.ca: Intelligence, Race, and Genetics: Conversations with Arthur R. Jensen: Books: Frank Miele,Arthur Robert ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The main topics of conversation besides "Jensenism" and Jensen's motivations are intelligence per se, the heritability of intelligence, the nature of race (whether biological or cultural), science and politics, and science and policy.
		Jensen, no racist by any stretch of the imagination, demonstrates throughout this book-the interviews which were conducted through e-mail-mainly through statistical analysis and other valid research methodology, the care with which he had arrived at his tentative conclusions.
		Arthur Jensen, a man of impeccable credentials among his peers, psychometricians, a man completely devoid of racist thought, a meticulous scientist who has been maligned and indeed slandered by the PC "no nothings" in furtherance of their "feel good" political agenda speaks directly to a very bright and well prepared interviewer in this book.

		Jensen radically changed his mind in the late 1960s, and this change appears in the first analysis as an independent variable with two modes: one biologically neutral and uncontroversial, the second one biologically related and deeply offensive.
		Anyway, Jensen had no choice but to present his mode 2 thinking in the HER article in the middle of the 1940-1980 mode 2 Zeitgeist, simply because that was the time when he first discovered that he in the first part of his professional career had seriously underestimated the biological side of his work.
		Jensen has, as mentioned, an unusual high regard for data, he is honest, and he is willing to let science be guided by data, even if they speak against his previous view.

		The self-effacing Jensen will probably never write a full-length autobiography, so this may be as close as we come.
		Yet Jensen never has - presumably because he thinks (correctly) that it is irrelevant to the truth or falsehood of his scientific theories.
		Whether Jensen will ultimately be proved right or wrong, he is a role model for scientists everywhere.

	Steve Sailer: The Half-Full glass -- review of Arthur Jensen's "The g Factor" -- IQ, racial differences, human ...
		Arthur Jensen of Berkeley, the dean of psychometricians with 400 scientific papers published in refereed journals, struggled merely to find a publisher for his version of The g Factor, this heroically comprehensive summing up of his life's work.
		Jensen's finding is hugely important in itself: it's the best explanation of the splendid performance of women in many white-collar jobs.
		Jensen's findings confirm my intuition (NR, 4/6/98) that while whites and Asians tend to be less masculine than fls in physique and personality, they are typically more masculine than fls in mental abilities.

	PINC: vol 2, no 2, December 1998 - The g Factor: The Science of Mental Ability, by Arthur Jensen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Jensen shows that the heritability of ability on a test is strongly related to the g loading of the test - that is, the extent to which it measures g.
		Jensen might have rested his case here, as many do, but instead he chose to confront race, as he has often before (recall that this was the reason his book was delayed for so long).
		Jensen has already settled in the first question in Bias in Mental Testing having shown conclusively that properly constructed mental tests need not be culturally biased, and that the tests of importance have nearly equal predictive ability for both races.

	The g Factor — www.greenwood.com
		Jensen's diligence in resolving one of the more treacherous issues in psychological research-the nature of human differences in mental ability-may finally settle the critical aspects of this complex issue once and for all.
		Arthur R. Jensen's tome-like salvo in the race and intelligence debate....explains the bases of his system for intelligence measurement, and why he believes that his results indicate a significant difference among the races.
		...[J]ensen provides a rigorous and persuasive case that the measurement of g is, contrary to the arguments of many critics..., a highly objective enterprise....One of my distinguished colleagues recently told me that every time he read anything by Arthur Jensen, it was a joy to read and he learned something new.

		Jensen was a major practitioner of individual differences psychology with a special interest in intelligence and the nature versus nurture debate, and eventually argued strongly for the heritability of intelligence (see g theory).
		According to Gould, Jensen misunderstood the research of L.L. Thurstone to ultimately support this claim; Gould however argues that Thurstone's factoral analysis of intelligence revealed "g" to be an illusion (1981: 159; 13-314).

		Arthur Jensen is a prominent UC Berkeley supergrade professor emeritus of educational psychology, known for his work in psychometrics and differential psychology, which is concerned with how and why individuals differ behaviorally from one another.
		Jensen is a leading authority on IQ, and his work on testing bias is canonical.
		Professor Jensen pointed out back in 1969 that fl children's IQ scores rose by 8 to 10 points after he met with them informally in a play room and then tested them again after they were more relaxed around him.

	Human Intelligence: Arthur Jensen
		Jensen’s interest in this topic began when one of his graduate students noted that the white special education students he was working with appeared to be more genuinely “retarded” than the students from minority groups who had been placed in special education.
		Jensen accepts Spearman’s idea of a general factor in human intelligence, and his own theory divides intelligence into two distinct sets of abilities: Level I abilities account for memory functions and simple associative learning, and Level II abilities comprise abstract reasoning and conceptual thought.
		Jensen concluded from his research that Level I abilities are equally-distributed among the races, whereas white and Asian students demonstrate advantages in tests of Level II abilities.

		Essentially, Jensen argued that in his research he found that genetic factors were much more important in determining IQ than environmental factors.
		Jensen defined two different types of learning: associative (related to imaginative and intuitive thinking) and conceptual (related to logic and the ability to grasp abstract concepts).

	What Arthur Jensen Overlooked
		Jensen was not the first to link racial differences with a standard deviation based on the Gaussian curve.
		While critics of the Jensen thesis have pointed to a number of problems with his arguments I want to look at only three; the scientific rigour, the constancy of a 15-point (and a 10-point) gap, and the sufficiency of this as evidence for genetic determination.
		What Jensen overlooked is the relationship between the way in which IQ scores are calculated and the age distributions of children across grades.

		Arthur Jensen rose into public awareness in the 1960s, when he made three statements that even gave rise to a new concept, Jensenism.
		Jensen acknowledges most of the four complaints or reservations I expressed earlier: for example, definition of race cannot be clear, and more importantly, environment (but not the shared home environment) affects intelligence too, but less than is generally thought.
		Jensen also readily admits that “at least half of the population variation in IQ is within families” so that “full siblings within the same family, on average, differ in IQ by about as much as the average difference between Blacks and Whites of the same social class.”

		Arthur Jensen's name is listed in a number of dictionaries as an "ism!" The Random House and Webster's Unabridged Dictionaries contain the following entry: Jen-sen-ism (jen´se niz´em), n.
		Jensenism, one of the great heresies of 20th century science, is partly responsible for getting the Darwinian-Galtonian paradigm back on track in differential psychology after it had been derailed in the behavioral sciences for at least a generation following World War II.
		Jensen calculated an "ecological" correlation (widely used in epidemiological studies) of +0.99 between median IQ and mean cranial capacity across the three populations of "Mongoloids," "Caucasoids," and "Negroids." The g Factor also considers the race differences from an evolutionary perspective.
