Arthur Jensen

Dr. Jensen was truly a pathfinder in the foggy haze of multicultural egalitarianism. He took what was an ideological and flawed argument that all humans are fundamentally equal in all aspects of existence, and showed how intelligence did not fit that pattern. His books were scholarly sound and devoid of personal bias. He set the bar very high indeed for psychometricians of the future. He will be missed but remembered with affection and respect.

He inspired me to pursue intelligence research.
He was brave as any scientist of integrity ought to be. The knowledge base he created will live on.

It was a pleasure to be with you in Spain. Thank you for your legacy. We never forget you!

He was a man of world class intelligence, ironic at it is, and honesty beyond any doubts in my mind. I know 'up close and personal' as his wife was my mother. He also was a wonderful cook and chess 'master'...I won a game out of many but perhaps he let me do so back in 1962. What I remember most about him was his ability to talk about the same subject to lay folks and his peers...different words but the same message.

Dr. Jensen was a lodestar, appearing first as a curious, contradictory figure during my undergraduate days at Berkeley, then a bold soul who with the courage to openly challenge the pious orthodoxies of the progressives. When, late in life, I pursued an advanced degree in statistics, I came to appreciate what an amazing scholar it was who possessed these human virtues. You will be missed. Though I can hope your example will call others to fill your shoes, they have not yet come to my...

I remember Arthur Jensen and his wife Barbara as great Souls and magnificent scientists. I spent almost a year doing research in Northern Illinois on RT in both White and Black elementary school students in Elgin Il.

I think I had more respect for Jensen than for any other person alive. Stories of his honor, integrity, and objectivity were profoundly influential and inspiring to me.

Rest in peace Mr. Jensen.
