Arthur Jensen 1986 Interview on Intelligence (Rare and Unpublished Audio)

Описание: A lengthy 1986 interview with the late Arthur Jensen; one of the most renowned and well cited psychologists/intelligence researchers of the 20th century. The interview concerns Jensen's knowledge and research about several important issues surrounding human intelligence. The interviewer is Marian Van Court (herself former faculty at the University of Texas at Austin’s Psychology Department). There are a few parts missing from the audio (ex: 43:40 – 43:46, 2:51:50 to 2:51:53 etc.), due to the age of the recordings. However this fact doesn’t doesn't have much of an effect on the overall intelligibility of the discussion.

All credit for the interview goes to Marian Van Court and Counter-Currents Radio http://www.counter-currents.com/2015/...
