In Intelligence: The Great Lie, Roy Andersen examines why we think intelligence is only a measurement of capability, without realising how it is used to perpetuate inequality through the discrimination of people based on their race, ethnicity, and class. Yet, based on 40 year of research, Roy shows the fallacy of IQ and SAT exams, explaining why intelligence cannot be measured to reveal a very great conspiracy played against the common man for nearly two centuries.
In a book said by the Dean of an American university to be one of the most important published this century, Andersen discusses a greater understanding of the purpose of the genes for intelligence, which lead to clearer understanding of the environment. When this is correctly understood, any individual may dramatically improve their intelligence. Here lies the means for education to dramatically alter its operations, to better prepare our youth for the uncertain AI world that awaits them.
The book is praised for being both thoroughly researched and easy to read, offering practical solutions for a fairer future which we should all consider.
What Readers Are Saying:
You are about to read a well-researched book that offers to be one of the most important ever
written, as it will lead you on a memorable and transformative journey. In this work, Roy Andersen
offers a very savvy and constructive account of what intelligence is and the role it has been playing
in our global society. Although deeply researched,
the book is also very easy to read and enjoy;
the author has spent most of the past 40 years involved in this domain. This is a book that offers to
bring profound changes to the ways we educate and teach students, just as it will cause us to
understand differently the ways in which students learn.

"Roy....thank you! I started reading the first bits and was immediately hooked (this does not happen
often. I'm SUPER fussy about books, I've read too many...). -No wonder you have such high applause
from your critics!"
