What is intelligence and how is it structured? Why do some individuals appear to be endowed with more or less intelligence? Is it possible to develop this characteristic of the human psyche?
Finding out what intelligence is and how it works has never been easier. In this guide, we review the main currents of thought regarding the science of intelligence. From physiological and biological theories to genetic theories, from the discoveries of scientific psychology to the insights provided by the latest multi-disciplinary research. Inside the book you will also find several practical and in-depth insights with which you can try to better understand yourself and the people around you. The book concludes with a summary and a personal assessment test that allows the reader to review and fix the main concepts. Forget the thousands of pages or prohibitively expensive psychology textbooks and start exploring how your mind works through a series of guides at unbeatable prices.
