“The Myth of the Bell Curve”
Clear, well-researched article (excerpt) on the history, use and misuse
of the bell curve. Illustrates how the “persistence [of the bell
curve] in the folklore and procedures of social institutions is a reflection
of institutionalized bias, not scientific rigor.” Good stuff!
