Here's something interesting http://farrukh.wordpress.com/2006/05/28/does-age-matter-in-advertising-agencies/ "The need for "intellectual curiosity" is being stressed."

[Alex3917 → donna]

Why is it that Silicon Valley types keep saying that intellectual curiosity is as or more important than IQ, but virtually zero research has ever been done on IC whereas there are hundreds of books on IQ?

(I have this long list of books that should have been written, but haven't been.)

The "intellectual curiosity" piece was written by a gentleman in Dubai, UAE.--not by a silicon valley type.
