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.
