Fascinating information on the heritability of personality, racial issues, and the psychometric implications for political and religious divides are also discussed in detail. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut the most important aspect of \u003ci\u003eThese Hidden Truths\u003c\/i\u003e is its discussion on generational changes in personality: anxiety levels have been dramatically rising in America for the past half century, while the genetic foundation for intelligence has been gradually eroding. Henshaw presses forward where others flinch back, providing an insightful analysis on the philosophical ramifications of psychometric research-research which calls into question not only the most basic tenets of modern society, but also the ultimate survival of civilization itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark William Henshaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 059537574X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595375745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.65d","brand":"Mark William Henshaw","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47001199968511,"sku":"9780595375745","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc2157ae-cd49-4e23-a54a-6d439043b23e.jpg?v=1751600355","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/these-hidden-truths-mark-william-henshaw-9780595375745","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
