Stephen Murdoch-Writer

Ria Julien, Winnipeg Free Press, August 26, 2007

“…a fascinating new work of popular history. In IQ, Murdoch, a former lawyer, puts the assumptions and history of intelligence testing on trial. What he finds is a modern practice, relatively unchanged in a century, that shares an ancestor with Victorian racial science. …the value of this book is not only in its chronicle of misuse, but equally in its exposing the ruse of intelligence testing itself. These tests, Murdoch shows, while bolstering the hubris of psychologists and proponents of reactionary social policy, have failed to deliver the basic goods.”
