2017 Personality 19: Biology & Traits: Openness/Intelligence/Creativity II

AUDIO CORRECTED VERSION: In this lecture, I complete my discussion of Big Five trait openness to experience, which is the dimension composed of an amalgam of creativity and intelligence. I also discuss IQ: how it is measured, what it means, how powerfully it predicts long-term life success, as well as the highly skewed Pareto distribution of creative production.

These lectures are truly changing my life. It's unbelievable. I've stopped drinking, gotten a great job in my chosen field (psychology and human services) and have an overall sense of renewed purpose where as before I was jaded and cynical. While other variables were def at play, you have been a huge port in the storm for me. Thank you so very much, Jordan. I look forward to meeting you someday.

I love how he evolves during every class he teaches. He begins off quite calm and you can really see him become more and more passionate and into the moment as he speaks.

Fun use for a brick: Split it in half and place the halves on two pedestals in an art gallery. Congratulations, you have now created a thoughtful and deconstructive commentary on the inherent porousness of societal structures vs our tendency to see said structures as monolithic and immutable. Or something.
