Why Is Ken Richardson Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Kenneth Richardson is a British psychologist, author, and former lecturer at the Open University, where he began working in 1971. He has written several books highly critical of IQ testing and related concepts in the field of psychometrics, such as Spearman's g. He contends that the definitions of intelligence, and the assumptions of its causes, "lie at the core of political ideologies", and has called for IQ tests to be banned. He has supported this position by arguing that IQ tests do not measure cognitive ability, but rather conformity with the culture of the tests' designers. Richardson debated the measurement of intelligence with philosopher of science Michael Ruse on the BBC's In Our Time.
