Cattell Culture Fair III
In seeking to develop a culture-fair intelligence or IQ test that separated environmental and genetic factors, Raymond B. Cattell created the CFIT or Culture Fair Intelligence Test. Cattell argued that general intelligence (g) exists and that it consists of fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence. Unlike other tests, which typically use a deviation of 15 or 16, Cattell uses a deviation of 24. This means if same normally distributed population took both tests, the central 68.2% would fall between 76 and 124 on Cattell but 85 and 115 on Stanford Binet 5 (deviation 15).

Famous quotes containing the words culture, fair and/or iii:
“Anthropologists have found that around the world whatever is considered “men’s work” is almost universally given higher status than “women’s work.” If in one culture it is men who build houses and women who make baskets, then that culture will see house-building as more important. In another culture, perhaps right next door, the reverse may be true, and basket- weaving will have higher social status than house-building.”
—Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. Excerpted from, Gender Grace: Love, Work, and Parenting in a Changing World (1990)
“The reivers they stole Fair Annie,
As she walked by the sea;
But a noble knight was her ransom soon,
Wi’ gowd and white monie.”
—Unknown. Fair Annie (l. 1–4)
“The army is the true nobility of our country.”
—Napoleon Bonaparte III (1808–1873)
