In Robert J. Sternberg. The Handbook of Intelligence. Cambridge University Press<\/p>\n<p class=\"gs_citr\" tabindex=\"0\">which I saw on Wikipedia when I was re-reading the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Minnesota_Transracial_Adoption_Study\">Minnesota Transracial Adoption Study study article<\/a>. Skimming the contents of the books, leaves one not surprised given that the editor is <a href=\"http:\/\/scholar.google.dk\/citations?hl=en&amp;user=zpmx5K8AAAAJ&amp;view_op=list_works&amp;sortby=pubdate\">Sternberg who does little quality research himself<\/a>, endlessly promotes his triarchic theory even tho every study I&#8217;ve seen of it shows that it does not fit the data better than traditional g models, and despite it lacking support from mainstream scholars in the field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gs_citr\" tabindex=\"0\">One might thus wonder why Sternberg edits all these books, if his opinions are not mainstream. One can only speculate, but presumably because he&#8217;s at a rich university and has politically respectable opinions. Surely, printing these behemoth books costs a fortune.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gs_citr\" tabindex=\"0\">Still, some of the chapters are by respectable authors (looking at the newest handbook, I see: Mackintosh, Fagan, Haier, Nettelbeck, Rindermann, Deary, and Hunt), and will surely be useful to have access to. :)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes, one sees references to this or that handbook of intelligence.
