I can't even bring myself to read this. After perusing and seeing it gets so emotional (bringing up eugenics, morality, etc), I have a hard time believing it's going to be objective.

"There is no significant statistical association between IQ and hard measures such as wealth."

So... you're saying that people with an IQ of 60 are equally wealthy as those with an IQ of 110?

I understand getting frustrated about misapplication of tests. But it's absolute that science must measure what is, not what we wish to be. Science is never unfair, never has an agenda, never backward -- it's simply a method to ascertain facts, entirely indifferent to our human affairs and feelings.
