  • More about Adaptive Intelligence: Surviving and Thriving in Times of Uncertainty

Adaptive Intelligence is a new concept of human intelligence that emphasizes collective talent in service of the common good, challenging the outdated notion of intelligence that has contributed to climate change, pollution, inequality, and the use of weaponry.

Format: Hardback
Length: 250 pages
Publication date: 04 February 2021
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

Adaptive Intelligence is a dramatic reappraisal and reframing of the concept of human intelligence. In a sweeping analysis, Robert J. Sternberg argues that we are using a fatally-flawed, outdated conception of intelligence; one which may promote technological advancement, but which has also accelerated climate change, pollution, the use of weaponry, and inequality. Instead of focusing on the narrow academic skills measured by standardized tests, societies should teach and assess adaptive intelligence, defined as the use of collective talent in service of the common good. This book describes why the outdated notion of intelligence persists, what adaptive intelligence is, and how it could lead humankind on a more positive path.
