The Intelligence Trap: Why Smart People Make Dumb Mistakes

By: David Robson

Format: 336 pages, Hardcover

Smart people are not only just as prone to making mistakes as everyone else, they may be even more …

"❞ إذا نَشَأْتَ بين أشخاص لا يثقون بالعلماء، فقد تكتسب ميلًا لتجاهل الأدلة التجريبية والوثوق بالنظريات غير المُثبَتة ❝"

-David Robson, The Intelligence Trap: Why Smart People Make Dumb Mistakes

"في أي مهنة، يوجد الكثير من الأفراد منخفضي معدل الذكاء الذين يتفوقون على أشخاص ذوي معدل أعلى بكثير، كما يوجد أشخاص أكثر ذكاءً لا يحسنون استغلال مقدرتهم العقلية، ما يؤكد أن سمات مثل الإبداع والحكم المهني الحصيف لا يمكن أن تُعزَى إلى معدل الذكاء فحسب. «الأمر أشبه بأن تكون طويل القامة وتلعب كرة السلة»"

-David Robson, The Intelligence Trap: Why Smart People Make Dumb Mistakes

"Intelligent and educated people are less likely to learn from their mistakes, for instance, or take advice from others. And when they do err, they are better able to build elaborate arguments to justify their reasoning, meaning that they become more and more dogmatic in their views. Worst still, they appear to have a bigger "bias blind spot," meaning they are less able to recognize the holes in their logic."

-David Robson, The Intelligence Trap: Why Smart People Make Dumb Mistakes

"❞ رغم أن عقودًا من الأبحاث النفسية وثَّقت ميل البشر إلى اللا عقلانية، فلم يبدأ العلماء إلا مؤخرًا نسبيًّا في قياس مدى اختلاف اللا عقلانية بين الأفراد، ودراسة ما إذا كان ذلك التباين يرتبط بمقاييس الذكاء. وتوصلوا إلى أن العلاقة بين الاثنين بعيدة كل البعد عن المثالية، فمن الممكن أن يحصل المرء، مثلًا، على درجة عالية للغاية في اختبارات سات توضح براعته في التفكير التجريدي، بينما يكون أداؤه ضعيفًا في الاختبارات الحديثة للعقلانية؛ وهو التناقض الذي يُعرَف باسم «غياب العقلانية» ❝"
