They tested group IQ on the brainstorming tasks!
So they took wastly (40% worse) suboptimal method of groupwork [1], which emphasizes only communication abilities and then they try to infer general claims from that.
Of course they will find that "emotional senitivity" makes "teams" that work in such conditions better.
And of course they won't find "common patterns for successful teams" in their meetings because, basically, meetings are not where decisions are made.
What a clueless research.

- rntz 11y agoThe linked article doesn't support your claim that brainstorming "emphasizes only communication abilities"; it only claims that brainstorming in groups is a worse way to generate ideas than to have people generate ideas individually & then combine them.
- thesz 11y agoBrainstorming is a social activity, with heavy use of communication abilities of ever participant. Would not you agree?
