Book Review - 'Intelligence and How to Get It,' by Richard E. Nisbett

• tokenadult 18y ago
  Good review of a good book. The author, Nisbett, is very meticulous about citing primary research sources in his book, even though it is written for a popular readership. Another good book on closely related topics is What Intelligence Tests Miss by Keith Stanovich. http://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/book.asp?isbn=9780300123852 http://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/book.asp?isbn=97803001238... http://www.amazon.com/What-Intelligence-Tests-Miss-Psychology/dp/030012385X http://www.amazon.com/What-Intelligence-Tests-Miss-Psycholog...

  "Success in life depends on intelligence, which is measured by I.Q. tests." What happened to emotional intelligence? Aren't there studies that show that this is at least as important to success in life?
