Sternberg has always been the kind of person to work his way up, and who's to blame him. I'm sure his goal is presidency of a major university and the $1million + salary that comes with it. So what's wrong with that? Somebody has to do it. From a guy who turned his dissertation into a book t

I have to say that I was disappointed by Sternberg's piece, although in all fairness I will need to see his upcoming edited handbook. Perhaps the evidence therein is more compelling. Unless I'm missing something, however, he reports here only one direct piece of evidence for the matching/mesh

Hi I read this when it came out as well. I don't think that Sternberg's model corresponds much with the traditional literature on learning styles. That some people might prefer an unstructured exploration of a topic and others prefer learning the facts (very loose paraphrase of some of Sternb

I probably should have made my previous post a little more clear: a 5-ARD male, while possibly having some primary female sex characteristics, will not have true female reproductive organs and will not have a uterus and ovaries, and thus cannot become a "mother." Beth Benoit On Thu, Sep 29, 2011

Just a little nitpickingthe character in *Middlesex* is a pseudohermaphrodite. A "true hermaphrodite" is much less common. A true hermaphrodite has sex organs of both genders, not just organs that appear to be ambiguous, such as what may appear to be an enlarged clitoris or a micropenis. 5-A
