There was already a famous Sternberg in psychology and it was obvious there would not be another.

The essence of intelligence would seem to be in knowing when to think and act quickly, and knowing when to think and act slowly.

Passion is the quickest to develop, and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly, and commitment more gradually still.

I had planned to be a psychology major, but I bombed introductory psychology.

But what many psychologists have done, probably because they did well on a test themselves and everyone wants high self esteem, is to create this little box and then do their research inside it.

Success in life does not necessarily originate with academic success.

And so, you can do hundreds and hundreds of studies showing a general factor and just so long as you restrict your populations, your testing materials and the kinds of situations you look at, you can keep finding the same wrong thing again and again.
