Description

Understanding Intelligence by Ken Richardson Critique of traditional notions of intelligence and IQ testing, this book explores the nature of intelligent systems, from cells to brains to culture and human minds. It debunks common myths and misunderstandings surrounding intelligence, shedding new light on the environment's role in shaping 'talent' and achievement. The author examines the ideological distortions of intelligence in racism and eugenics, as well as suppressed expectations across social classes and genders. This fresh perspective prompts readers to reconsider their own possibilities and aspirations, with implications for promoting intelligence and creativity. A broad context is provided to understand the subject, making this book an essential read for anyone curious about human intelligence.
