This year, record numbers of high school students obtained top grades in their final exams, yet employers complain that young people still lack the basic skills to succeed at work. The only 【C1】______(explain) offered is that exams must be getting easier. But the real answer could lie in a study just published by Professor Robert Sternberg, an【C2】emi______ psychologist at Yale University and the world’ s leading expert on intelligence.
His research reveals the existence of a totally new variety: practical intelligence.
Professor Sternberg’ s astonishing finding is that practical intelligence, which predicts success in real life, has an inverse relationship with academic intelligence. In other【C3】w______, the more practically intelligent you are, the less likely you are to succeed at school or university. Similarly, the more paper gualifications you hold and the higher your grades, the less able you are to cope with problems of everyday life and the lower your score in practical intelligence.
Many people who are clearly successful in their place of work do badly in standard IQ (academic intelligence) tests. Entrepreneurs and those who have built large businesses from scratch are【C4】fre______discovered to be high school or college drop-outs. IQ as a concept is more than 100 years old. It was supposed to explain why some people excelled at a wide variety of intellectual tasks. But IQ ran into trouble when it became apparent that some high scorers failed to【C5】ach______in real life what was predicted by their tests.
Emotional intelligence (EQ) , which emerged a decade ago, was supposed to explain this deficit. It suggested that to succeed in real life, people needed both emotional as well as intellectual skills. EQ includes the abilities to motivate【C6】______(you) and persist in the face of frustrations; to control impulses and delay gratification; to regulate moods and keep distress from swamping the ability to think; and to understand and empathize with others. While social or emotional intelligence was a useful concept in explaining many of the real-world deficiencies of super intelligent people, it did not go any【C7】______(far) than the IQ test, in measuring success in real life. Again, some of the most successful people in the business world were obviously lacking in social charm.
Not all the real-life difficulties we face are solvable with just good social skills—and good social acumen in one situation may not translate to another. The crucial problem with academic and emotional intelligence scores is that they are both poor predictors of success in real life. For example, research has shown that 10 tests predict only between 4% and 25% of success in life, such as job【C8】pert______.
Professor Sternberg’ s group at Yale began from a very different position to traditional researchers into intelligence. Instead of asking what intelligence was and investigating whether it predicted success in life, Professor Sternberg asked what distinguished people who were thriving from【C9】______ that were not. Instead of measuring this form of intelligence with mathematical or verbal tests, practical intelligence is scored by answers to real-life dilemmas such as: " If you were travelling by car and got stranded on a motorway during a blizzard, what, would you do?" An important contrast between these questions is that in academic tests there is usually only one answer, whereas in practical intelligence tests—as in real life—there are several different【C10】sol______to the problem.
