«En el laberinto de la inteligencia» is the philosophical essay by Hans Magnus Enzensberger, published by Anagrama in paperback (80 pages, in Spanish).
Enzensberger questions the validity of intelligence tests and traces the history of the word in European languages, where terms for stupidity outnumber those for intelligence. He denounces the abuses of psychometrics and eugenics, ironizes about artificial intelligence, and closes with a hymn to stupidity.
It belongs to the Argumentos collection (number 400), translated by Francesc Rovira Faixa; published in 2009.
For essay and philosophy readers interested in the critique of intelligence tests and the debate on artificial intelligence.
