Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? If intelligence is analyzed by what it is demanded of, the important intellectual differences among people will not be found at the sensory, perceptual, or purely reproductive level. → E. L. Thorndike and L. M. Terman 1921

Terman's symposium contribution, adopting Meumann's reversal of Stern's teleological definition, states that "the important intellectual differences among men will not be found on the sensory, perceptual, or purely reproductive level." This is the author's analytical claim; the printed text ends before supporting data.
"it is evident that the important intellectual differences among men will not be found on the sensory, perceptual, or purely reproductive level."
