Beskrivning

Adaptive Intelligence is a dramatic reappraisal and reframing of the concept of human intelligence. In a sweeping analysis, Robert J. Sternberg argues that we are using a fatally-flawed, outdated conception of intelligence; one which may promote technological advancement, but which has also accelerated climate change, pollution, the use of weaponry, and inequality. Instead of focusing on the narrow academic skills measured by standardized tests, societies should teach and assess adaptive intelligence, defined as the use of collective talent in service of the common good. This book describes why the outdated notion of intelligence persists, what adaptive intelligence is, and how it could lead humankind on a more positive path.

Recensioner i media

'This book is a must-read and not just for the usual academic reasons. While most other academics are busy installing the stepping-stones on the scholarly path, Robert J. Sternberg is looking at the horizon. All of us will benefit from his expanded, more ethical conception of intelligence.' Don Ambrose, Professor of Graduate Education, Rider University, USA, and Editor of the Roeper Review
