InThe Intelligence Trap: Why Smart People Make Dumb Mistakes

(2019), award-winning science journalist David Robson explores the paradox of why a high IQ often fails to protect individuals from colossal errors in judgment. He argues that intelligence is like a high-performance engine: without the proper "steering" of wisdom and critical thinking, it can simply drive you faster into a dead end.

Why Brilliant People Make Foolish Decisions

Robson identifies several "traps" that specifically plague the highly intelligent:

Motivated Reasoning: Smart people are often better at using their analytical skills to retrospectively rationalize bad decisions rather than seeking the objective truth.
Earned Dogmatism: Experts can become so confident in their own specialized knowledge that they become close-minded to new evidence or feedback, believing they are entitled to be right.
Bias Blind Spot: Intelligent individuals are often better at identifying flaws in others' logic while remaining completely blind to their own cognitive biases.
Dysrationalia: This is a documented "mismatch" where a person can score exceptionally high on an IQ test while scoring poorly on measures of rational thinking and real-world decision-making.
