The Relationship Between Intelligence and Rationality
There is a strong positive correlation between performance on rationality tests and intelligence. However, intelligence only accounts for a small fraction of variance in rationality. Keith Stanovich's work emphasizes that high intelligence does not necessarily equate to high rationality and acknowledges various forms of rationality, such as my side bias. Rationality involves the ability to overcome equal centrism and consider others' perspectives, which is not solely determined by technical inferential management. Research indicates that individuals higher in social hierarchies may struggle to understand others' perspectives, overlapping with the discussion about narcissism. This convergence of insights points towards the potential for a cognitive science of spirituality, focusing on the whole person's ability to transcend finitude with the application of rigorous cognitive science.
