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)

Small groups (according to Woolley et al)

Challenges:

  • solving visual puzzles
  • brainstorming
  • making collective moral decisions
  • negotiating over limited resources

Attributes:

  • social sensitivity
  • number of females in group


Factors not associated with intelligence of small groups Challenges:

Attributes:

  • group cohesion


Married Couple (or equivalent)

Challenges:

Attributes:

  • ability to discuss things calmly and come to conclusions
  • ability to empathize with each other's emotions so as to understand each other's needs


Basketball Team

Challenges:

Attributes:

  • knowledge of each other's skills
  • ability to read each other's signals and react quickly
  • good all around skills


Seminar Group

Challenges:

Attributes:

  • ability to build on each other's comments —and slow hunches


Occupy Wall Street groups

Challenges:

Attributes:


Contributors to a Wiki Page

Challenges:

Attributes:

  • ability to build on each other's comments (similar to Seminar Group)


Distributed Research and Action Network

Challenges:

Attributes:


School District in Economically Disadvantaged Location

Challenges:

Attributes:


 

Ultimately we could use these to help us actually measure collective intelligence.
