Excerpts from a Wall Street J. article today

The IQ numbers were originally attributed to the book: "IQ and the Wealth of nations", though they do not appear in the current edition. The tests and data were administered via the Raven's APT, and The Test Agency, one of the UK's leading publishers and distributors of psychometric tests. This data has been published in the Economist and the St. Petersburg Times.
