Abstract

We compared four models of the structure of cognitive abilities. The best model contained three latent variables: Verbal CRT, Numeracy, and Fluid intelligence. These three factors were significantly related to each other and to a latent factor of (ir)rationality (belief bias, denominator neglect, superstition, time preferences, and self-report rationality).
