Abstract

In this chapter, the author maps an interdisciplinary plan for measuring collective intellectual virtues and vices. He argues that measuring such virtues and vices will involve both philosophical work in conceptualizing them, and psychological work—in psychometrics and organizational psychology—in developing measures. The author advocates a conceptualization of collective virtues and vices that is antisummativist, in the sense that it allows a group to have an intellectual virtue or vice. She argues that one reason for endorsing antisummativism is that there are some character traits that are only available to groups and not to individuals, such as character traits that involve regulating and organizing the interactions of group members.
