Correlation is not Causation: The Arguments and Agendas of the IQ-Race Controversy.
This essay will analyze the history of the IQ-Race controversy with a view to questioning both the function of IQ as a predictive factor, and the validity of associations between IQ scores and racial origins. It will be argued that, from a layman's perspective, the sheer number of uncontrolled variables in such associations seem to undermine the theory that IQ is closely associated with race. Thus, general correlations between IQ scores and racial origins do not signify a causal relationship between the two. 8 pgs. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
