This book reflects on the various ways in which intelligence can
manifest itself in the wide range of diverse contexts in which
people live. Intelligence is often viewed as being tantamount to a
score or set of scores on a decontextualized standardized
intelligence test. But intelligence always acts within a
sociocultural context. Indeed, early theorists defined intelligence
in terms of adaptation to the environment in which one lives. The
tradition of decontextualization is old, dating back to the very
beginning of the 20th century with the development of the
Binet-Simon Intelligence Scales. This tradition is not only old,
however, but obsolete. Because people live in different
sociocultural as well as physical environments, intelligence can
take somewhat different forms in different places and even at
different times. The chapters in this edited volume show that
intelligence viewed in the abstract is a somewhat vacuous concept -
it needs to be contextualized in terms of people's physical and
sociocultural surroundings.
