“People Can Not Be Summed Up Easily and Cleanly”
For anyone out there that isn’t a good test-taker, don’t let low scores hold you back. And for those of you with high scores, don’t rely on just that to get you through life.
We all have skills, experience, and abilities that just can’t be captured in standardized tests. And, lucky for society, Malcolm Gladwell is currently obsessed with proving that.
Check out this video link to Malcolm Gladwell’s presentation posted on The New Yorker, entitled “Reinventing Invention”.
In this video you will get some great insight into Malcolm Gladwell’s new book coming out in November. He speaks of the ‘mismatch problem’ in hiring and how ‘outdated, simplistic measures of ability’ for sports, teachers, lawyers, government (cleverly referencing our current administration), etc., doesn’t work.
“As the world changes…people can not be understood and summed up easily and cleanly.”
