Yup, that's the one. I just tried to do a preliminary search and came up with nada. Do you recall if it was Arthur Jensen or William Shockley? What did he call them damned thing? I don't really know what to search under.
Google: intelligence test lights button http://www.forbes.com/asap/1998/1130/281_print.html is the first result. This article is pretty much against the concept of intelligence testing. According to that article, the device is called "Jensen's button box". That may not be correct, as a google search for "jensen's button box" (quoted to filter out obvious false hits) yielded only that article. -- Steve Furlong Computer Condottiere Have GNU, Will Travel 617-670-3793 "Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly while bad people will find a way around the laws." -- Plato
