Abstract
Recent empirical evidence for the influence of examiner’s race on examinee’s performance on intelligence tests is reviewed. Studies are classified as either adequate or inadequate and as either complete or incomplete, based on design and sampling procedures. In addition, methodological flaws are noted (e.g., confounding race of examiner with order of examination) and outcomes are critically evaluated. In general, the current literature offers little support for the hypothesis that examiner’s race, per se, has a systematic effect on examinee’s performance on intelligence tests. Conceptual and methodological issues are discussed, and suggestions are made for future research.
