Measures for Collective Intelligence
From civicintelligence
Here we are focusing on collective — not civic — intelligence.
Everybody should propose at least one type of collectivity and three or more attributes 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)
