Looking Over Your Shoulder Isn’t Good for Your IQ
Looking Over Your Shoulder Isn’t Good for Your IQ
From the Marshall Memo #435
This “Stat Watch” item in Harvard Business Review reports a study conducted by Read Montague (Virginia Tech and University College London) on the impact of competition on IQ scores. When 70 adults took an online IQ test and were continuously shown how they were doing compared to peers, everyone’s performance declined and the bottom 20 performers plummeted by 17 points. Social sensitivity definitely affects performance, and the notion that IQ is a stable, predictive measure is highly questionable.
