I think the 15-point gap is pretty consistent over all the common IQ tests.

Maybe, but there is really no known way to measure raw intelligence, so culture comes into play in a huge way with these tests. The gansta culture that American blacks are bombarded with is very much anti-intellectual and discourages acedemic achievement, so a lot of low scores are probably due to lack of motivation and preparation rather than low intelligence.

Bingo.

This is the sort of thing I'm talking about, winin2000...
