In a series of provocative conversations with Skeptic magazine senior editor Frank Miele, renowned University of California-Berkeley psychologist Arthur R. Jensen details the evolution of his thoughts on the nature of intelligence, tracing an intellectual odyssey that leads from the programs of the Great Society to the Bell Curve Wars and beyond.

His articles have appeared on many Web pages, including those of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society.…
