A wonderful, readable summary of what we know about intelligence. The scientific evidence is clear: IQ tests are extremely useful. IQ scores are correlated with a multitude of important life outcomes, such as educational success, income, and even life expectancy, while studies on biology show that they are genetically influenced and linked to measurements of the brain. Studies on intelligence and IQ are regularly published in the world's leading scientific journals.

This book is an entertaining introduction to the current state of intelligence and IQ, showing how we arrived at what we know from a century of research. It directly addresses many of the criticisms of IQ tests by describing the latest high-quality scientific research and presents a positive case for IQ research, focusing on the potential benefits that better understanding of intelligence can bring to society.
