Heritability and psychological tests.

Comments on M. B. Jones's (see record 1971-07242-001) article advocating the use of heritability (HER) as a criterion in psychological test construction, pointing out a disadvantage of using HER as a criterion. One cannot maximize the HER of an intelligence test and then use that test to demonstrate that intelligence is inherited. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
