Purpose
The Journal of Practical Intelligence & Wisdom (JPIW) publishes peer-reviewed research, case studies, and essays that strengthen practical intelligence, sound judgment, and wise action.
Our mission is to bridge rigorous scholarship with real-world relevance — helping individuals and organizations think clearly, decide effectively, and act responsibly across fields such as leadership, psychology, and behavioral science.

A discipline of seeing clearly, thinking deeply, and choosing responsibly.
