Over deze aflevering

<p>From the time we're schoolchildren, we're ranked and sorted based on how smart we are. But what if our assumptions about intelligence limit our potential?

Then, in the latest installment of Your Questions Answered, psychologist <a href="https://www.clarku.edu/faculty/profiles/james-cordova/" rel="noopener noreferrer">James Cordova</a> answers listener questions on accepting our romantic partners as they are.</p> <p><i>Our next stops on Hidden Brain’s live tour are just weeks away!
