Intelligent Individuals Don’t Make Groups Smarter
- mbyrne 16y agoWired gets it wrong, again. Actually the study conclusion is "Having a bunch of smart people in a group doesn't necessarily make the group smart," concludes Malone (one of the study's authors). Meaning if a group fights, they won't do as well as a group that doesn't when performing a group task. So "Duh" to the study, and "Learn how to read" to Wired. Maybe the article should be titled" Intelligent Individuals Don't Necessarily Make a Group perform better on Group Tasks if they cause everyone to fight" Wired is like a supermarket tabloid of sciency-type content. A link at the bottom of the article webpage is to "Animals Get Freaky at Museum of Sex" Does anyone take anything seriously from Wired?
