Freitag | 11.15 Uhr | Time Bomb. How the Western Conception of Intelligence is Taking Down Humanity: Prof. Dr. Robert J. Sternberg, Cornell University, College of Human Ecology Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss the evolution of my thinking about intelligence. In the process, I will try to show how scientific thinking evolves over the course of a career, discarding or elaborating upon earlier ideas in favor of newer ones. I will discuss, in turn, the componential theory of intelligence, the triarchic theory of intelligence, the theory of successful intelligence, the augmented theory of successful intelligence, and the new theory of intelligence serving as a mental immune system. I will suggest that conventional views of intelligence have had a catastrophic effect on societies, resulting in the promotion of incompetent and often malign individuals into positions of leadership and authority, and leaving marginalized far more competent and benign people. Societies may not have much time to change their practices.
