A person's 'mindreading ability' can predict how well they are able to cooperate, even with people they have never met before. Researchers at the University of Birmingham found that people with strong mind reading abilities – the ability to understand and take the perspective of another person's feelings and intentions– are more successful in cooperating to complete tasks than people with weaker mind reading abilities. These qualities, also called 'theory of mind', are not necessarily related to intelligence and could be improved through training programmes to foster improved cooperation, for example in the workplace or in schools and colleges.
