Timothy Bates: “New finding: Rationality is what IQ tests measure.”

If that’s true, how do they explain Mensa, or all those smart people who believe in religion, homeopathy, etc?
My guesses:
the human average is horribly low, IQ 130 is still pretty stupid, rationality starts maybe at IQ 160
irrational high-IQ people are rare but visible; you mostly don’t notice rational people unless they want it
