ABSTRACT
Professor Jensen—on the grounds of his own substantive findings a staunch supporter and defender of Sir Cyril Burt—has been genuinely torn by the apparently conclusive evidence of Leslie Hearnshaw's official biography, but is again in an open-minded condition of doubt. Gradually, however, Eysenck began himself to make "revelations" that seemed flatly to belie his earlier good opinion. Jensen felt himself unable to do any other than accept the apparently convincing evidence presented, such as that of Burt's diaries. The one lack of corroboration made Jensen think that Burt was at least capable of deceit, thereby lending weight to Hearnshaw's verdict. Clearly, Jensen remains by no means "100%" convinced of Burt's supposed misdeeds, and, in his most recent letter, has mentioned reasons for a revival of his doubts. The changed position of Professor Hans Eysenck, however, although consistently and completely agreeing with the same shared conclusion of Burt and Jensen is very different.
