Crossroads (talk | contribs) Waayyyy overstating it here. Publishing some poor papers does not denigrate everything and human intelligence is a legitimate field of study as it pertains to individual differences, cognitive psychology, and developmental disorders. Not seeing where sources support this extreme statement. New Statesman, which you cited for this, also calls it highly respected in its field, so this is misrepresenting that source. |
