What is Dysrationalia? You’ve probably heard of a lot of intelligences – Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences, Sternberg’s Triarchic theory of intelligence and Daniel Goldman’s Emotional Intelligence. In this episode, my first guest host Bo Bennett steps in to tell us about the work of psychologist Keith Stanovich’s work on “dysratinalia”. Do you know someone who seems quite intelligent but they believe in something that is, well…completely irrational? Something that just has no scientific support at all? Many thanks to The Psych Files’ first guest host Bo Bennett – psychologist, entrepreneur and host of the Humanist Hour. Learn more about Bo and his online courses and speaking availability in the links below.
