If you Google it, you can find a bunch people claiming MT somehow better than an IQ test. Random example. Quite the implausible claim. I guess the original study was given a lot of attention by some big name journal hence all the hype.http://www.econlib.org/archives/2007/10/stanford_marshm.html …

Was there an earlier, similar study conducted in Jamaica?

No idea. And yes, that study with the implausible claims was published in Science. About 3.5k citations by now.
