Woolley, A. W., Chabris, C. F., Pentland, A., Hashmi, N. and Malone, T. W. (2010), “Evidence for a Collective Intelligence Factor in the Performance of Human Groups,” Science, 330, 686–688.
It seems to be relevant to various LW tropes, but to actually read it myself I’d have to talk to somebody (the librarian who runs my university’s journal repository) and paying that kind of price would be massively depressing if the above paper turned out to be as crappy as the paper I just read that cited it.
It’s already massively depressing that even being associated to a large institution only gets you online access to Science from before eight years ago.
EDIT: Ah, nevermind; she’s uploaded it to her faculty webpage.

Possibly Melbourne Uni is a cooler large institution than yours! ;)

Yeah, it’s an interesting paper after all. Much better than this one.
