Investigated whether group differences between immigrants and majority group members are best described as Jensen effects or as cultural effects and studied the bias of culture-reduced tests and culture-loaded tests. Findings from 2 studies involving 786 and 267 immigrants and comparable control groups demonstrate the presence of Jensen effects and cultural bias in 1 intelligence test. (SLD)
