Description

Have you ever wondered why psychologists still can't agree on what intelligence is? Or felt dismayed by debates around individual differences?

Criticising the pitfalls of IQ testing, this book explains the true nature of intelligent systems, and their evolution from cells to brains to culture and human minds.

Understanding Intelligence debunks many of the myths and misunderstandings surrounding intelligence.

It takes a new look at the nature of the environment and the development of 'talent' and achievement.

This brings fresh and radical implications for promoting intelligence and creativity, and prompts readers to reconsider their own possibilities and aspirations.

Providing a broad context to the subject, the author also unmasks the ideological distortions of intelligence in racism and eugenics, and the suppressed expectations across social classes and genders.

This book is a must-read for anyone curious about our own intelligence.
