In Frames of Mind: Ability, Perception and Self-Perception in the Arts and Sciences, psychologist Liam Hudson challenges the conventional wisdom that intellectual ability is a fixed, measurable quantity, arguing instead that the way individuals perceive themselves and their world is as decisive as raw talent. Drawing on empirical research and psychological theory, the work dissects the cognitive and personal distinctions between students drawn to the arts and those drawn to the sciences, unearthing the deeper personality structures and self-images that guide their divergent paths.\n\nHudson writes with the precision of a scientist and the curiosity of a humanist, producing a study that is at once rigorous and revelatory. His analysis draws on the landmark distinction between convergent and divergent thinking — concepts he helped pioneer — to illuminate how creativity, conformity, and self-perception shape intellectual identity from adolescence onward. A foundational text in educational psychology, Frames of Mind continues to challenge readers to reconsider what we mean by intelligence, and to ask which frame of mind society quietly rewards — and which it systematically ignores.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50813034856667,"sku":"2026100010267-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9a411dae-5254-4ae7-8d8d-1699cfa8afb1.png?v=1792372034","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010267-secondhand-frames-of-mind-ability-perception-and-self-perception-in-the-arts-and-sciences-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
