Intelligence and the Efficiency Movement

I have been pondering the work of Taylor as it relates to Scientific Management - a movement that became known as Taylorism and had a profound impact on shaping education. He had a strong belief in the right of those who are intelligent to rule those deemed less so.

Thinking about this in context of Sir Francis Galton and the linear ranking of intelligence and his conviction that intelligence was inherited.

Interesting how he applied Gauss' model of The Bell Curve to intelligence and how that understanding fundamentally shaped our education structure and expectations.
