Critics of intelligence tests - writers such as Robert Sternberg, Howard Gardner, and Daniel Goleman - have argued in recent years that these tests neglect important qualities such as emotion, empathy, and interpersonal skills. However, such critiques imply that though intelligence tests may miss certain key noncognitive areas, they encompass most of what is important in the cognitive domain. In this book, Keith Stanovich challenges this widely held assumption. Stanovich shows that IQ tests (or their proxies, such as the SAT) are radically incomplete as measures of cognitive functioning. They fail to assess traits that most people associate with 'good thinking', skills such as judgement and decision-making. Such cognitive skills are crucial to real-world behaviour, affecting the way we plan, evaluate critical evidence, judge risks and probabilities, and make effective decisions. IQ tests fail to assess these skills of rational thought, even though they are measurable cognitive processes. Rational thought is just as important as intelligence, Stanovich argues, and it should be valued as highly as the abilities currently measured on intelligence tests.
短评: 总的来说本能的力量是强大的,现今社会迷雾和诱惑太多我们需要多一些警惕性,在人生中重要的时候拿出应有的理性做出正确的选择。1,建议先读第三部,再读第二部,第一部的内容也就明白了。2、从实用性上来讲,这种类型的文章其实可以写个实践手册,不用一本书的篇章。可...
评分为什么某些看似聪明的人会做蠢事,某些骗局就是会骗到人,这些事情在生活中时常发生,不少人为之费解。斯坦诺维奇的《超越智商》对这些问题展开揭示。 在书的开头就说到一个人很多人没想到的事,就是看似愚笨的小布什的智商估算有120,这水平可是中上的智力啊,然而小布什给人...
评分在一次采访中,记者问道:您有没有写书的计划? 巴菲特(伯克希尔主席):如果我要写书的话,书名就是《为什么聪明人总是做傻事》。 芒格(伯克希尔副主席):那就是我的自传。 本书作者斯坦诺维奇试图回答的正是这一问题。 (一)理性的定义 理性的定义是:对世界有正确的...
评分##基因、模因和理性:斯坦诺维奇的反叛 冬天开始的时候,在地铁上断续读了基思·斯坦诺维奇的《机器人叛乱》、《超越智商》和《决策与理性》三部关于理性(rationality)的作品。 三部曲中,《机器人叛乱》是充满诗意的哲学思辨,《超越理性》是一部中规中矩的心理学作品,《...

看看
评分关于irrationality写得挺中规中矩的一本书,作者还是俺大学的prof!如果对irrationality有兴趣的话,建议看the upside of irrationality,写得通俗又好玩。对于已经完全知晓这一领域,例如Bayesian formula玩的易如反掌的人,要么直接忽略要么recap作者最后一章的cognitive miser架构。
评分后半部分实在是太难啃了。。说了很多dysrationalia的内容
评分1)Dysrationalia: the inability to think and behave rationally despite having adequate intelligence.(聪明人干蠢事)。2)Humans are cognitive misers. (trade-off between computational power and expenses.) 3)natural selection does not care about truth; it cares only about reproductive success.
评分开始颠覆和修正一些观念 何为理性 如何习得?
