false...

There is nothing politically incorrect about intelligence test data. Such data is studied in colleges and universities everywhere. The politically incorrectness comes in when somebody uses that data to 1) support an agenda 2) discriminate 3) attribute the findings to genetic arguments for superiority/inferiority.

A scientist cannot reasonably conclude the 'superiority' of a race given the varied results of intelligence scores on intelligence tests. If the story is true and he was stopped from his work, it's because of one of the above, or his research was full of obvious flaws.
