Next to predicting a group's performance on more complex criterion tasks as shown in the original experiments, the collective intelligence factor ''c'' was also found to predict group performance in diverse tasks in MBA classes lasting over several months. Thereby, highly collectively intelligent groups earned significantly higher scores on their group assignments although their members did not do any better on other individually performed assignments. Moreover, highly collective intelligent teams improved performance over time suggesting that more collectively intelligent teams learn better. This is another potential parallel to individual intelligence where more intelligent people are found to acquire new material quicker. | Next to predicting a group's performance on more complex criterion tasks as shown in the original experiments, the collective intelligence factor ''c'' was also found to predict group performance in diverse tasks in MBA classes lasting over several months.
