Twin study suggests rationality and intelligence share the same genetic roots
78% Informative
A recent study involving twins shed new light on the relationship between intelligence and rational thinking.
The ability to make rational decisions, often seen as a separate skill, is actually closely tied to general intelligence.
The study suggests that being irrational, or making illogical choices, might simply be another way of measuring lower intelligence.
Future work could look for influences from personality traits, learning experiences, or motivational factors that might add further detail to how intelligence and rational decision making interact.
“It would be great if rationality research unified with intelligence research,” Bates said.
The study, “Cognitive rationality is heritable and lies under general cognitive ability”.
