Abstract

The scientific study of intelligence has highlighted its integrative role of cognitive and non-cognitive psychological factors. Evidence reveals that it is the personal attribute with the greatest predictive validity in a heterogeneous range of life circumstances, including work performance. This article describes and discusses this evidence, from classical research to recent advances, to reach conclusions and suggestions that could potentially be considered in the selection design of public administrations. Job demands in the twenty-first century entail an increase in mental complexity that gives the intellect an even more central role. Scientific advances and models can help improve social decisions, but it is the institutions that, ultimately, must choose to pay attention to or neglect the findings of science.
