First of all I want to point out that this question isn’t only a very interesting one but also a question which should be reconsidered by everyone.
I don’t think there is a clear answer.It depends on how you define rationality and intelligence.But they are definitely not the same.
I think .. if I asked as many people as possible to reflect on what intelligence is, the most people would think about intelligence tests (this is not meant as an allegation).
In my opinion intelligence consists of many parts.
And rationality is for me also a part of intelligence.
I would compare rationality to intrapersonal intelligence concerning the theory of multiple intelligences.
I have thought a lot about it . And I’m not good at explaining my thoughts,
but what I wanted to say is...unfortunately the value of rationality is more and more eclipsed.
For me rationality is the most important part of intelligence.
You need “rational thinking” to fulfill your dreams,aims, whatever.To be happy.
A high IQ can be useful for being successful ( if your definition of success means having a lot of money) but it DOESN’T make you happy.
I think self-realization is the most important need and not esteem.
Therefore rationality is more important than the other parts of intelligence.
“Our achievement-oriented society” often forgets that.
