NEW YORK — British psycholo-
t Cyril Burt was already famous
the founder of educational psy-
logy when he produced “scien-
ic proof in 1961 that intelligence
e genetic inheritance of the so-
upper crust. But new studies
ve “beyond reasonable doubt
he made the whole thing up.
Burt s classic paper, “Intelligence
Social Mobility,” was frequently
d by white supremacists as
|roof’ that whites inherently are
re intelligent than blacks. In
ilic appearances, Burt, himself.
Id that the Jews and the Irish
re less intelligent than the
iglish and that slum children were
intally inferior to children of the
iper classes.
He also contended that men were
larter than women, but it was his
instakingly prepared set of IQ ta-
is showing common laborers at
| : bottom end of the spectrum and
assertion that heredity deter-
ned their place in that position
/OUfS >t won acclaim.
|r The September issue of Science
igazine cites the work of two pro-
ffiCG, psors who have been studing
"irt’j controversial findings and
eluded that the eminent psy-
logist fabricated his figures.
^ Prof Leon Kamin of Princeton
Ull 'iversity was one of the first to
spect figures cited in published
Mill' P° rts by Burt, who died in 1971
, er rising to the heights of his field
I OVw becoming the first psychologist
erto be knighted.
According to the magazine,
r a imin said that in 1976, Burt’s
II issic paper, “Intelligence and So
il il Mobility,” contained several
I utremely improbable statistics.”
Further digging by Prof. D.D.
srfman of the University of Iowa
rned up evidence that figures
irt allegedly had obtained from IQ
-u its actually given were identical
l/C' 4 figures published more than 30
ars earlier and based on another
rvey.
Dorfman also proved that Burt
Mned the IQ figures he claimed
aved the intellectual superiority
upper classes, not through IQ
its, but by selecting evenly dis-
M’s Kl r |ibute points on a bell-shaped
. tve, which he called “a curve of
Ifl™)' rmal distribution.” Row and col-
in tables were then concocted
toi the figures and passed off as
ta actually derived from tests.
Science magazine concludes:
hese findings show, beyond any
asonable doubt, Burt fixed the
w and column totals of the tables
his highly acclaimed 1961 study.”
The magazine noted the irony of
fabrication by Burt who “was a
adly critic of other people’s work
len this departed in any way from
e highest standards of accuracy
logical consistency. He could
ir to ribbons anything shoddy or
consistent. ”
