The Intelligence Man
Description
This drama-documentary profiles Sir Cyril Burt (1883-1971), the most eminent psychologist of his age, whose name is forever linked with the IQ test. A pioneer in the development of educational psychology in England, he devoted much of his life to demonstrating that intelligence is primarily an inherited characteristic. Despite his belief that intelligence is inherited, he acknowledged that it could be affected by environment as well. He is noted for having established the "Eleven Plus" program to identify students of higher intelligence at the age of 11. A version of this program is still in use to assure that the brightest students receive the best educations.
