Scott Barry Kaufman (Get this book) Cognitive psychologist Kaufman describes how he overcame a learning disability and defied expectations despite doing poorly on IQ tests. Coupling his own experience with that of Temple Grandin and Daniel Tammet, who describe how they think using images, he suggests that the development of expertise, associative thinking and pattern recognition are aspects of creative intelligence not revealed by IQ testing. An inspiring, informative affirmation of human potential combined with an overview of historical developments in standardized tests, cognitive psychology and current research.--Kirkus
