It details that how people perceive competence shape how society is designed and this in turn effects how we correlate scores and job performance. Job performance is usually gauged by Tacit knowledge which ascertains their problem solving capabilities. In the long run though this method does just as well as an IQ test in predicting performance so in other words this was a factually incorrect gauge. They went on to view intelligence as a modifiable agent where test scores would represent a starting line rather than an ending. This however was also seen as incorrect due to disappointing results. There was an argument for heritability playing a role in cognitive abilities but this was seen as a false assumption due to there being no conclusive data that supported the notion that intelligence was another trait that could be passed down. The authors of the book came to the conclusion that IQ was still poorly understood and it had no real relation to the data collected. As for the review of the book it could be seen as a scapegoat to those with lower IQs. It is warned to be careful when doing so this can be inheritably unfair to make assumptions under inconclusive
