Book Synopsis
What is the relationship between intelligence and sex? In this title, the author enters this historical debate by recalling the debate between Lewis Terman - the intellect who championed the testing of intelligence - and pioneering sex researcher Alfred Kinsey, and shows how intelligence and sexuality have interacted in American psychology.

Trade Review
"Peter Hegarty is the first scholar to examine seriously and systematically the connections between the discourses of intelligence and sexuality, both of which were being refashioned in important ways in the United States. Hegarty's use of Lewis Terman and Alfred Kinsey to build his analysis is original and compelling." (John Carson, author of The Measure of Merit: Talents, Intelligence, and Inequality in the French and American Republics)"
