Abstract in brief
- Research indicates that people often struggle with making accurate predictions about future events, prompting the U.S. Intelligence Community to hold forecasting tournaments to improve subjective probability estimates.
- The winning strategy involved identifying top performers and organizing them into elite teams called superforecasters, who exhibited exceptional accuracy across various geopolitical questions.
- Four key factors contributed to the success of superforecasters: cognitive abilities, specific skills related to forecasting, strong motivation, and supportive environments, demonstrating that their abilities can be developed and highlighted through competition.

Predicting the future is difficult, but some of us are better at it than others. Research by Tetlock & colleagues suggests that "Superforecasters" are partly discovered & partly created: - Intelligence, skills & motivation - Training, teaming & tracking https://t.co/Dc8XbGelcL https://t.co/0UnvbLXUe1

@DG_Rand @morewedge Many thanks for the recommendations! Part of the inspiration comes from reading Tetlock's work on superforecasters, which identified accuracy-promoting characteristics both at the trait/ability level & their social "enriched environments". https://t.co/Dc8XbGelcL https://t.co/jg38BBm1Ja

@craigtalbert @kevinnbass @carrickj @nntaleb @tell_me_muse @ReaperInTheRye @Dominic2306 @russianforces @PTetlock @yaneerbaryam Yes it does (see reference). They could, but then the definition and the ranking gets different and you would have to test a new if there is signal in the nosie. https://t.co/pbKaj6Z6Vp
