A Cognitive-Process Taxonomy for Sex Differences in Cognitive Abilities (2004, background): “Jensen (1998) reviewed several cognitive-achievement tests that, unlike traditional tests of intelligence, were not written to yield equal scores for females and males.”
Sex differences in impulsivity: a meta-analysis. (2011, background): “Executive functions of this kind are correlated with general intelligence, where sex differences are likely to be minimal (Jensen, 1998).”
Humor ability reveals intelligence, predicts mating success, and is higher in males. (2011, result): “It is an excellent measure of non-verbal abstract reasoning ability and is highly correlated with the g factor in many studies (Jensen, 1998).”
Personality, Affective Processing, and Self‐Regulation: Toward Process‐Based Views of Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Agreeableness (2007, background): “One measure of executive function is general categorization speed, shown to capture fluid intelligence in the literature on individual differences in cognitive ability ( Jensen, 1998).”
Predicting Achievement in Mathematics in Adolescent Students (2013, background): “This is not surprising given that the learning process at school is g-demanding and that g is an empirically well-established predictor of academic achievement (Jensen, 1998; Laidra et al., 2007; Mackintosh, 1998; Watkins et al., 2007), especially in the mathematics domain (Deary et al.”
The impact of childhood intelligence on later life: following up the Scottish mental surveys of 1932 and 1947. (2004, background): “However, no study of the dedifferentiation hypothesis has found differences between the sexes, and this aspect of the sample should not affect the correlational structure (Deary et al., 1996; Detterman & Daniel, 1989; Jensen, 1998; Legree, Pifer, & Grafton, 1996).”
Determinants of Individual Differences and Gender Differences in Knowledge. (2001, background): “The first perspective (g only) would hold that the major source of predictive validity is Gf, given that it represents the closest assessment of “pure g” (Gustafsson, 1984; Jensen, 1998).”
