Item Text
“Academic work is really about certain types of deductive reasoning, and especially some forms of verbal and mathematical reasoning. Developing these abilities is an essential part of education. But if intelligence were limited to academic ability, most of human culture would never have happened. There’d be no practical technology, business, music, art, literature, architecture, love, friendship, or anything else. These are big ideas to leave out of our common-sense view of intelligence and educational achievement.”
