Keith E. Stanovich is professor of human development and applied psychology, University of Toronto. He is author of How to Think Straight about Psychology and The Robot's Rebellion: Finding Meaning in the Age of Darwin, among other books.
“A compelling argument….What Intelligence Tests Miss illuminates
the actions of everyone who affects our lives.”—Scientific
American
*Scientific American*
“An original, well-supported, and brilliantly tied together book
that reveals the misunderstood relationship between IQ,
intelligence, and rationality.”—David Over, Durham University,
Psychology Department
*David Over*
“In this compellingly readable book Keith Stanovich explains the
bold claim that the notions of rationality and intelligence must be
distinguished sharply and studied separately. His proposal would
deeply change both the field of intelligence testing and the study
of individual decision making—and he may well succeed.”—Daniel
Kahneman, Princeton University, Nobel Laureate in Economics
*Daniel Kahneman*
“In this brilliant and entertaining book, Keith Stanovich shows
that intelligence tests, though they have their uses, fail to
assess the key components of rational thought and action.”—P. N.
Johnson-Laird, author of How We Reason
*P. N. Johnson-Laird*
"Professor Stanovich has an unparalleled ability to synthesize
results from diverse domains of cognitive science in a lively way
that is tremendously useful to us non-specialists. This book
is not about emotional or multiple intelligence; it's about
intelligence in its most important practical dimensions."—E. D.
Hirsch, Jr., author of The Knowledge Deficit and The Schools
We Need
*E. D. Hirsch, Jr.*
“In this smart and rational book, Keith Stanovich explains the
difference between intelligence and rationality. Stanovich, one of
psychology’s wisest writers about intelligence, also shows that IQ
tests do not measure the full scope of mental ability because they
fail to assess rational thought, which is central to happiness and
fulfillment. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to
know what makes us truly smart—and why smart people often behave
irrationally.”—Carol Tavris, Ph.D., coauthor of Mistakes Were Made
(But Not by Me) : Why we justify foolish beliefs, bad decisions,
and hurtful acts
*Carol Tavris, Ph.D.*
"In this dazzling synthesis about how well and poorly people think
and why, Keith Stanovich drives a wedge between intelligence and
rationality. This book demonstrates compellingly how rationality is
more than intelligence and how those who are intelligent can be
dismayingly irrational."—David Perkins, author of The Eureka
Effect
*David Perkins*
"Written for the intelligent lay reader as well as the scholar, the
book is clear and lively. Scholars will find material on the
intelligence-rationality relationship particularly valuable, and
research psychologists should take seriously Stanovich's case for
developing a standardized rationality quotient (RQ) test. . . .
Essential."—B. J. Lovett, Choice
