For nearly 30 years, Dr. Robert J. Sternberg has been recognized as one of world's leading authorities on human intelligence and intelligence testing, as well as closely related constructs such as creativity, expertise, giftedness, leadership, and wisdom. He is also one of the most vocal critics of "the intelligence testing industry" which defines intelligence rather narrowly (i.e., a high score on a paper and pencil intelligence test). Professor Sternberg has devoted his career to expanding the notion of intelligence to include contextual factors, creative abilities, tacit knowledge and practical know-how.
In his current position as Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at Tufts University, Sternberg is revamping their admissions process to include practical and creative abilities in the assessment of potential incoming freshman. By using Sternberg's broader, more eclectic, approach to admissions, Tufts hopes to identify and recruit a more diverse set of talented students--ones who may not have the best grades or test scores, but who have other, harder-to-measure abilities that can lead to success in college and life. The admissions overhaul is part of a larger experiment that will track these students and compare them to students admitted under traditional assessments. Sternberg's experiment has generated a significant amount of buzz in the college admissions world and has been the subject of recent newspaper articles in The Boston Globe, Inside Higher Education, and The Guardian (UK).
This is a handy compendium of many of Sternberg's most important and influential articles from his thirty-year career. It will provide an introduction and overview of his theories on intelligence and education, and highlight some of his most important articles from a large and disparate output. Beyond it's inherent interest to psychologists, the book will be a useful summary for those people outside of academia who want an overview of Sternberg's views, including politicians, policy makers, teachers, and administrators.
