- Raven’s test performance of sub-Saharan Africans: average performance, psychometric properties, and the Flynn Effect (2010, background): “…with the nature of g itself, but rather provides an empirical test of the prediction from the g theory (Jensen, 1980, 1998) that Raven's tests are valid indicators of g among Africans (Lynn, 2006; Lynn & Vanhanen, 2006; Rushton & Jensen, 2005; Rushton & Jensen, 2009; Rushton & Skuy, 2000).”
- THIRTY YEARS OF RESEARCH ON RACE DIFFERENCES IN COGNITIVE ABILITY (2005, background): “Rushton and Skuy (2000) studied 309 university students at the University of the Witwatersrand and found that the more an individual item from the Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices measured g (estimated by its item– total correlation), the more it correlated with the standardized African–White…”
- Raven's is not a pure measure of general intelligence: Implications for g factor theory and the brief measurement of g (2015, background): “Some researchers view the g factor saturation associated with Raven's to be so substantial that the item-total correlations may be considered an accurate estimate of each items g loading (Rushton & Skuy, 2001).”
- Construct Validity of Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices for African and Non-African Engineering Students in South Africa (2004, methodology): “90 (po.001) among thousands of highschool students (Owen, 1992), and hundreds of university students (Rushton & Skuy, 2000; Rushton et al., 2003, 2003; Skuy et al., 2002), as well as the finding that the item–total score correlations are very similar across all groups, suggests that the items are…”
- A systematic literature review of the average IQ of sub-Saharan Africans (2010, methodology): “Although this instruction is quite similar to an instruction as described in the test manual (Raven, Court, & Raven, 1996), some have argued that this instruction artificially enhances test performance (cf. Rushton & Skuy, 2000).”
