::::::::I think we have to consider the ''New Statesman'' and the ''Guardian'' with a slightly critical eye because are both left-of-centre publications, and the ''Guardian'' in particular frequently editorializes in its science coverage. I would not expect them to publish outright falsehoods, but I would expect them to be hostile to the LCI attendees and it is possible that these sources might be cherry-picking facts about Rindermann that cast him in a bad light. The ''Times Higher Education Supplement'' is an excellent source for anything related to UK universities but it is paywalled.

::::::::Jackson and Winston seems to me to be a useful reference. It refers to Rindermann as an "hereditarian", meaning in this context that he publishes on group differences in IQ, and considers the group differences to be at least partly genetic in origin. This directly links Rindermann to the race and intelligence controversy, and justifies the Race and intelligence controversy category on the article.

::::::::I agree that the German language article is quite illuminating. Unfortunately it seems to be based entirely on primary sources. I suspect German language secondary sources do exist, but I haven't been able to find any yet. [[User:Nangaf|Nangaf]] ([[User talk:Nangaf|talk]]) 00:46, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
