Quote:

"Perkins explains this as follows: "IQ indicates a greater capacity for
complex cognition for problems new to you. But what we apply that
capability to is another question. Think of our minds as searchlights.
IQ measures the brightness of the searchlight, but where we point it
also matters. Some people don't point their searchlights at the other
side of the case much, for many reasons - entrenched ideas, avoidance of
what might be disturbing, simple haste. A higher wattage searchlight in
itself is no protection against such follies." Indeed, it seems even the
super-intelligent are not immune. A survey of members of Mensa (the High
IQ Society) in Canada in the mid-1980s found that 44 per cent of them
believed in astrology, 51 per cent believed in biorhythms and 56 per
cent believed in aliens (Skeptical Inquirer, vol 13, p 216)."
