Opis

High IQs don't improve the world. Adaptive intelligence does, because it prioritizes the common good over individual success.

Recenzje

'For readers generally familiar with the field, the challenges Sternberg poses are interesting. For newer readers, the review sections provide a helpful and interesting introduction to the field, and the remaining chapters make clear that the questions and issues are by no means settled business. Sternberg's writing style is both engaging and clear (and thus invites discussion), making this an interesting text to use in, for example, an advanced seminar … Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals.' J. F. Heberle, Choice
