No Difference
Between Races
Says Scientist
DIR. Klineberg
Proves All Men
Really Equal

NEW YORK CITY-(SNS)- The
whole mass of intelligence tests
which have been used to prove the
superiority and inferiority of va
rious racial, ethnic and national
groups was severely criticized by DR.
Otto Klineberg last Saturday in his
lecture Measuring Negro Intelli-
gence" which was part Of the
weekly lecture series A World View
of the Negro Question" These lee
lures are held at the Schomburg
Collection of Negro Literature of
the New York Public Library.
Dr.. Klineberg, who is professor of
Psychology at Columbia Univer-
sity, gave a critical review of intel
ligence tests which have been CIV
en- TO African, West Indian a n d
American Negroes and pointed out
that these tests are more a test of
the education and other cultural
disadvantages of these groups than
they are of inherited native abili-
ties.
DR.. Klineberg pointed out that
the range of test scores for Negroes
and whites was the same and that
Negro children were known to have
made test scores of 200 which is
twice that of the average human
being.
He pointed out, further, that
Northern Negroes generally made
better scores than Southern Ne
groeS and that italian Americans
Portuguese Americans. Mexican
Americans and American Indians |
made lower scores than
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1945-02-03

did the American Negro. However,
even these scores reflect the cul-
tural environment of those tested
and often the bias OF many of the
testers
DR.. Klineberg's conclusion was
that of those who wish to test in
herited abilities are to be scienti-
fic, they must first see to it that
all groups in the society who are
to be tested have the same eco
nomic and cultural advantages.
The next lecture in the weekly
series will be The Peoples of In
Ola and the Negro, Question.
