Here we are focusing on collective — not civic — intelligence.

Everybody should contribute at least one type of collectivity to this page. Everybody should add three or more attributes to any of the listed collectivities that you believe might help make that collectivity intelligent. I've listed a few examples of each. Don't worry if you're not certain about what you write here — these are just hypotheses! BTW, you can also add attributes that think might not be relevant (see below)

Example Template

Challenges:This refers to the obstacles that the group or other collectivity is trying to overcome.

Attributes: This refers to characteristics of the group (itself) that we suspect would play a role in determining the intelligence of that group.

Dynamics:Taking a cue from Devin, I believe this would refer to characteristics of the group processes that we suspect would play a role in determining the intelligence of that group.

Comments: or questions that are pertinent to the exploration but don't necessarily belong in the sections above.

Comments:


Small groups (used in the experiments conducted by Woolley et al to identify a group intelligence measure (c))

Challenges:

  • Supports a manageable formation of participants
  • Less resistance to change
  • Less space required
