In the Know
Emotional intelligence is an important trait for success at work. IQ tests
are biased against minorities. Every child is gifted. Preschool makes
children smarter. Western understandings of intelligence are inap-
propriate for other cultures. These are some of the statements about
intelligence that are common in the media and in popular culture. But
none of them are true.
In the Know
is a tour of the most common
incorrect beliefs about intelligence and IQ. Written in a fantastically
engaging way, each chapter is dedicated to correcting a misconception
and explains the real science behind intelligence. Controversies related
to IQ will wither away in the face of the facts, leaving readers with a
clear understanding of the truth about intelligence.
Russell T. Warne is an associate professor of psychology at Utah Valley
University, USA, and an educational psychologist. He is the author of
the widely successful textbook for undergraduates:
Statistics for the
Social Sciences
(Cambridge, 2018).
