Description
Intelligence and Human Abilities provides a critical evaluation of psychological research into human intelligence and abilities, addressing key questions such as:
-
Are human abilities explained by a single core intelligence or by multiple intelligences?
-
How should abilities be assessed? Should we use standardized tests that differ from real-life situations, or should we use practical problems similar to those encountered in everyday life, school, and work?
-
Do ability tests predict behavior? If so, can they predict success at school or in the workplace?
The book examines the research evidence over the past 100 years, revealing that despite apparent contradictions, the evidence supports a coherent model of intelligence. This conclusion has significant implications for researchers, educators, and test users.
This accessible and engaging text is essential reading for students and professionals in psychology and education, as well as applied psychologists and personnel managers who use ability tests in their work.
