No one is as smart as all of us – sometimes that’s very true and sometimes not. What makes people work together in a way where all their talents are expanded instead of diminished? That’s the idea behind Collaborative Intelligence: Thinking with People Who Think Differently. It’s another tome in the quest to find the best way to work with one another.

The overarching principles range from solid to banal, but the authors are so enamored with their obtuse (and unsubstantiated) theory of “mind patterns” that anything useful seems to take a back seat. If you love parsing initialisms and creating pseudoscientific taxonomies of your coworkers, then this is the book for you. If you are looking for a practical text on growing a collaborative culture with your colleagues, look elsewhere.

I listened to the summary of this book in Blinkist and actually got a lot out of it. I've kind of developed a habit of ignoring people's penchant for simplifying people by classifying brain types and styles, but I like discussions of metacognition and how to manifest it in collaboration. Listening to the blink helped me prepare for a meeting and create consensus and make progress on a fuzzy project. It maybe helps that I have a PhD in design, but I still want to check out the book in full.

This book is basically a reimagining of Meyer-Briggs and similar personality tests. The quizzes and worksheets in this book are fun in the way a Cosmo quiz is fun and I appreciate that it was a lite read. Since this book is focused on understanding how people think and absorb information and being able to create a work environment that optimizes these different thinking types, I think this book would have the greatest impact on educators and educational institutions. In general, there is nothing groundbreaking in this book, but it does add a bit more to one's emotional intelligence.

As required reading for class, this book wasn't too bad. There's a lot of insights into your learning habits and how you interact with people. I do believe the tactics in the book can help you work better with other people. It's easy to read and doesn't get too technical in its jargon. The exercises also help make the book feel interactive.
