About this listen
No feature of the mind is as important, controversial, and mysterious as intelligence. It is the epitome of brain function, and it has a powerful influence on success in life. And thanks to decades of research, we are closer than ever before to understanding it.
Now in The Intelligent Brain, taught by one of the world’s foremost researchers on intelligence, Professor Richard J. Haier of the University of California, Irvine, you’ll trace the fascinating history of intelligence testing and its leading thinkers, as well as what brain imaging studies and the most recent research findings reveal about this most complex of human phenomena.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Explains many different aspects of intelligence
Shows different aspects of intelligence for example in relation to culture or gender. Thankfully he creeps reminding people that it is always the average and there are variations for the individual.

Doesn't work with audio alone
The lectures appear to rely quite heavily on visual cues - Slides, images, graphs, and video. None of which, of course, can be seen via audio speakers. The pdf that comes with the audio gives the odd graph or token image, but nowhere near enough.
On the content itself - I am not sure really who is the target audience for these lectures, but I don't think it was me anyway. There were maybe 1 or 2 minor things that I learned, but mostly, I already read or knew before. It seemed to be more of a prologue than a main event. Very underwhelming.

Dated and ableist
Unsure when this was performed, but it feels very dated. I couldn’t finish it. Although it had some interesting nuggets, I couldn’t cope with the continual focus on IQ tests and some awful/offensive statements littered around eg. “Low intelligence is not a diagnosis - yet”.
Not for me.
