Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMEASURING COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE Thomas W. Malone, Stephen Kosslyn (Harvard), Anita Williams Woolley (Carnegie Mellon), Christopher Chabris (Union College) and David Karger Intelligence tests can predict the performance of individuals across a broad range of tasks. Imagine if we had an instrument that could predict the performance of groups—combinations of people assisted by computers, telecommunications links, and other man-made devices—across a range of relevant tasks. And imagine that this instrument would allow us to test whether efforts to improve performance on key tasks actually succeeded in making a group “smarter.” The goal of the Measuring Collective Intelligence project is to find out whether such an instrument is feasible, and if so, to develop and test it, and then to use it to assess the effectiveness of interventions designed to enhance performance. The project will focus in three main areas.
