Intelligence Citations Bibliography for Articles Related to IQ Testing
You may find it helpful while reading or editing articles to look at a bibliography of  Intelligence Citations, posted for the use of all Wikipedians who have occasion to edit articles on human intelligence and related issues. I happen to have circulating access to a huge academic research library at a university with an active research program in those issues (and to another library that is one of the ten largest public library systems in the United States) and have been researching these issues since 1989. You are welcome to use these citations for your own research. You can help other Wikipedians by suggesting new sources through comments on that page. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 17:40, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Nietzsche's works and ideas do not seem relevant here
The article is about the concept of a "cognitive elite", i.e. individuals who exhibit higher levels of intelligence compared to the rest of a populace who supposedly have an advantage in terms of achieving success and amassing wealth. Nietzsche's concept of a "superman", on the other hand, relates to self-improvement and morality, and seems to have little (if anything) to do with innate cognitive abilities or any ruling elite in society. As such, I believe the section regarding Nietzsche should be either moved somewhere else or removed entirely.

Addition of Research Looking at Socioeconomic affects on "Cognitive Ability"
I believe there could be a wider variety of research that discuss why cognitive elite is not necessarily an accurate term to utilize. There are many socioeconomic factors that can affect one's intelligence and cognitive ability, and I think addition of research helps provide a multi faceted viewpoint on the accuracy of this term.
