Collective Intelligence Quotient
What are the parameters that determine the effectiveness of a community. Are they measurable and, by extension, can we take concrete steps to enhance them?
Collective IQ (C-IQ) recalls the narrowly based IQ test. As such it has limitations - but maybe it's useful as a starting point for thinking about how multi-disciplinary groups perform?
The neurologist, Susan Greenfield talks about the brain as being a 'golden jungle': neural connections extend like vines between the different specialist regions. The level of interconnectivity is the key predictor for intelligence (and, incidentally, creativity).
Taking this as a model for group interaction...how would we promote multifarious interdisciplinary pathways and what is their impact on C-IQ?

Reflections on the 6-polar model for Colelctive Intelligence remind me of what has been achieved at Wikipedia. An online encyclopedia that was created by a core group and which achieved scale and quality in a 4 year period. It has more pages than Britannica today.
Its pages are written, edited and updated by its users.
Jimmy Wale the founder, in an address at the Doors of Perception 8 Conference in Delhi talks about "their ability to achieve scale through software, policy and atmosphere of respect.
Their intention is to create a free encyclopeadia with the intention of creating "free access to the sum of all human knowledge" through a free license and a volunteer organisation.
The work is the reason for the community."
