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J. Sternberg argues that we are using a fatally-flawed, outdated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book describes why the outdated notion of intelligence persists,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.
