Description: SAT, ACT, and GPA scores can't tell a college everything that's important about an applicant. But what else should admissions officers look for, and how can they know it when they see it? A leading researcher on intelligence and creativity offers a bold and practical approach to college admissions testing.

Brief description: Robert J. Sternberg is Professor of Human Development at Cornell University.

Review Quotes: [Sternberg's] book convincingly indicts the SAT and ACT exams. A single test lasting a few hours, he writes, "ends up having a weight equal" to the product of "years of effort and dedication" in high school.--David A. Kaplan "Fortune" (10/21/2010 12:00:00 AM)
