Elsbeth Stern supports the thesis that many children do not belong in high school. Here she talks about falling levels and the question of whether intelligence can be influenced.
This interview first appeared in April 2024.
Most people say that they drive well. But the reality looks different on the street. Is that also the case with intelligence?
Yes, the majority of people consider themselves to be above average intelligent, which of course cannot be true. Not that many people think of themselves as gifted. But when it comes to a misjudgment, it’s more of an overestimation.
