An incomplete analysis of certain statistical results obtained by the army psychologist has led Professor Brigham in A Study of American Intelligence to overlook the sharp differentiation between the intelligence of "immigrant groups" and the intelligence of "races." A more refined analysis eliminates as a serious explanation his contention that the great decrease in the percentage of Nordic blood in recent years accounts for the lower average intelligence of later immigrants. Lower scores on intelligence tests by more recent immigrants is a fact, but the reason must be sought in factors related to the passage of time and unrelated to race
