Paul C. Bernhardt Department of Psychology Frostburg State University Frostburg, Maryland -----Original Message----- From: Ron Apland [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Fri 9/24/2010 7:20 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: [tips] Homo administrans The September 23rd issue of The Economist has an article about the heritability of personality factors applicable to business. http://www.economist.com/node/17090697?story_id=17090697 A teaser from the article but not representative of the tone of the article (more balance): "Results such as these are preliminary. But they do offer the possibility of turning aspects of management science into a real science-and an applied science, to boot. Decisions based on an accurate picture of human nature have a better chance of succeeding than those that are not. For instance, if job satisfaction and leadership turn out to have large genetic components, greater emphasis might be placed on selection than on training."
