DMA, IQ and g are attempts to measure an obviously important thing. Arm waving is excellent for religion [where there is nothing to be measured as it's all fantasy]. But it's not good for reality. Reality needs measurement. Murray was talking about g, whether it's measured or not. Not IQ. Have another read [or a first read] of his article. Judging the book without reading the cover is fraught with risk.

IQ is a much better measure of likely success. Mqurice
