Building a team with smart people -- using an I.Q. test
May 11, 2007
Imagine building a team with really smart people.
You can make sure everyone on the team is smart by making high IQ scores a requirement.
Do you think this team would be successful?
If you said yes, think again.
Daniel Goleman, author of the NY Times best seller "Emotional Intelligence" reports HERE that...
IQ is a mirage when it comes to how someone actually will perform on any given job. It tells you nothing about that person’s drive or self-mastery, their ability to collaborate or empathize, let alone their ethics.
...a summary of data on the trivial value of IQ as a predictor of job performance, (is) a dirty little secret that has been well-known within psychology for decades.
So what predicts how well someone will actually do (on the job)? IQ scores are not on the list.
I found a system that does predict performance HERE
