It made me realise how political science can be and how facts on large issues can be covered up for political reasons.
You mean all the facts that Ruston left out made you realize that? I hope that's what you mean, as that paper is a dog.
Here's a better paper on closely related topics, by authors who have advanced the research considerably:
Nisbett, R. E., Aronson, J., Blair, C., Dickens, W., Flynn, J., Halpern, D. F., & Turkheimer, E. (2012). Intelligence: New findings and theoretical developments. American Psychologist, 67, 130-159.
The paper is not perfect, but it let me question the reality of the world around me and how much was real and how much was constructed.
I find papers that challenge my ideas more enlightening than ones that reinforce them. Which obviously makes sense I guess.
The paper I linked I considered reputable enough, in a topic known to be difficult, to be of note. Every paper has issues, the trick is working out if the issues kill the paper or not.
