Teaching intelligence

Article history: Received 20 February 2013 Received in revised form 27 June 2013 Accepted 4 July 2013 Available online xxxx This article encourages psychologists to teach intelligence at different levels of the undergraduate curriculum and at postgraduate level. In addition, intelligence should be ‘taught’ to psychologists more broadly, to relevant professionals, and to the public. I give examples of attempts to teach to all these audiences, and the materials I prepared to do so. Some problems with, and tips for teaching intelligence are given. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.
