A screenshot of a research article titled "Cognitive reflection is a distinct and measurable trait," authored by Andrew Meyer, Yigal Attali, Maya Bar-Hillel, and Daniel Kahneman. The article is published in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)," issue 121 (49), on November 27, 2024. The DOI is provided: https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2409191121. The significance section highlights that the cognitive reflection test predicts a wide range of beliefs, preferences, and judgments better than traditional math tests, with its validity explained by the construct it measures. It also notes that cognitive reflection can be assessed using non-math-based items.

The most interesting finding for me:
Q3. Have you ever been bitten by an insect?
"8% claimed to have never been bitten by an
insect.
*That subset scored lower on every measure of cognitive ability.*"
