Linda Gottfredson's Intelligence in Everyday Life Colloquium (EDUC 391)

Geoffrey Miller's Intelligence and Creativity

Is intelligence just a narrow academic skill, as some critics claim, or does it provide practical advantages in everyday life? What is life like for people of low, average, or high intelligence? And just what is intelligence anyway, and why do people (even siblings) differ so much in intelligence level? This course examines old discoveries as well as new surprises in the scientific study of intelligence. We will also closely examine various IQ tests to help understand why the differences they measure have practical value in virtually all arenas of social life, but especially education and work. There is a wide dispersion in intelligence within all societies, and we will ponder the special challenges that such variation poses for democratic societies such as ours.
