The Difference Between Rationality and Intelligence
&gt; people tend to make decisions based on intuition rather than reason.<p>I think these types of article have a too-narrow definition of rationality.  I think that emotions, feelings and intuition are subconscious processes but still part of the faculty of reason. The mistake is to think that rationality = conscious-logical-deduction but anyone who has solved some complex problem knows the experience of working on a problem or days, weeks, months or even years and then one day the solution just hits you, usually when you aren&#x27;t actually working on the problem.
