Thomas Malone of MIT and his colleagues found that the performance of small groups/teams is not co-related with the IQ level of the team's members nor that of the cleverest member of the group/team. The factors significantly influence the performance are:
- Members' social sensitivities,
- How equally the conversation is distributed among members, and
- Ratio of female members!
MIT の Malone 教授達は、小集団の業績が、成員の平均IQや、チームの中で最も高い成員のIQとは関係ないことを発見した。業績に関係した３つの要因は：
・成員の社会的感受性（EQ?）
・発言が成員間で平等である程度
・女性成員の比率
