EVIDENCE FOR A COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE FACTOR IN THE PERFORMANCE OF HUMAN GROUPS
By the importance of understanding group performance derived interest in studying
intelligence of groups
Interest in measuring intelligence derived from
Spencer
g factor
explains 30-50% variance in individuals' performance score
Reliable predictor of important
life outcomes
Existence of another type of intelligence, the
collective intelligence
(c)
Correlation between ability to perform one task and ability to perform a wide range of other tasks (in group)
Above and beyond
the abilities of
individual
group members
Study 1
(assigning individuals to group and asking to perform specific tasks) tries to demonstrate it:
Positive
average inter-item
correlation
This factor explain
43%
of the
variance
(the second only 18%)
This factor was c score
Average
and
Maximum intelligence score
of individual don't predict the performance
Individual intelligence score predicts if we work alone
Study 2
(adding other tasks) replicate these findings
Additional questions
Possibility to predict top management team's long-term effectiveness?
Possibility to increase group intelligence by electronic collaboration tools
What causes c?
NOT
Average intelligence of individuals and highest-scoring team member
Group cohesion, motivation, satisfaction
Only in a moderate way
YES
Average social sensitivity
Unic statistical significance
Equal distribution of conversational turn-taking
Proportion of females in the group
Members with more social sensitivity
Composition of the group and Factors emerged from group members interaction
