the story of Christopher Langan, a man who ended up working on a horse farm in rural Missouri despite having an IQ of 195

Murray discusses this problem and the solution that America came up with in his book, "The Bell Curve." SAT tests solved it. Once general IQ testing came in, smart people in rural areas were spotted and given College Scholarships. Murray didn't like the fact that this tends to stratify society by IQ.
