Working SMARTER and Harder

Author index | Success | Subject index

In the last 50 years, there has been much fuss within the domain of research in cognitive psychology, including commentaries, disagreements, and divisive debates over the two words  'human intelligence'.  For those of you who are not following this hoopla, permit me to sum up the argument here.  Grasping its nature, development, and measurement has been a pursuit of psychologists, academics, and society at large, for over a century.  Fundamental questions persist, remain unanswered, and continue to irritate the field, questions such as:

  1. What is human intelligence?
  2. Are our smarts best summarized as a solo intelligence or do we have various and autonomous kinds of minds, with some being more dominant than others?
  3. Can we make our many minds better?
  4. What shapes our intelligences?
  5. How should we best know the consequences of blending mother nature with nurturing environments in fashioning our human intelligences?
  6. What is general intelligence, or, for short,  'g'?
  7. What is intelligence quotient (IQ), is it malleable, and most importantly, what do IQ tests really measure?
  8. What are the ways for replacing mean differences in intelligence across ethnic factions, continents, and cultures?
  9. Are we as intelligent as we can get?
  10. How can we assign numbers to our smarts?
  11. Are we as smart as we can get?
  12. How are you smart?
  13. How can we get SMARTER?
  14. Of what value is intelligence?  To see one (1) side, go to the first article @ http://www.neoeugenics.net/index.htm

Answers:

  1. The jury of intelligence scholars has been out ... and will be out for some time as to the best answers to those questions.
  2. In the interim, and to better understand the above questions, I have sorted a pile of files outlining viewpoints by intelligence theorists and their standpoints into two (2) alphabetized indexes.
  3. An author index contains information about intelligence researchers.
  4. A subject index lists topics arranged around their stances.
