請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題：    We all probably know someone who is intelligent, but does surprisingly stupid things. What does it mean to be smartor intelligent？Our everyday use of the term is meant to describe someone who is knowledgeable and makes wisedecisions, but this definition is at odds with how intelligence is traditionally measured. The most widely knownmeasure of intelligence is the intelligence quotient, more commonly known as the IQ test, which includes visuospatialpuzzles, math problems, pattern recognition, vocabulary questions, and visual searches.    The advantages of being intelligent are undeniable. Intelligent people are more likely to get better grades and gofarther in school. They are more likely to be successful at work. And they are less likely to get into trouble（e.g.,commit crimes）as adolescents. Given all the advantages of intelligence, though, you may be surprised to learn that itdoes not predict other life outcomes, such as well-being. You might imagine that doing well in school or at work mightlead to greater life satisfaction, but several large scale studies have failed to find evidence that IQ impacts lifesatisfaction or longevity. Grossman and his colleagues argue that most intelligence tests fail to capture real-worlddecision-making and our ability to interact well with others. This is, in other words, perhaps why “smart” people, do“dumb” things.    The ability to think critically, on the other hand, has been associated with wellness and longevity. Though oftenconfused with intelligence, critical thinking is not intelligence. Critical thinking is a collection of cognitive skills thatallow us to think rationally in a goal-orientated fashion, and a disposition to use those skills when appropriate. Criticalthinkers are amiable skeptics. They are flexible thinkers who require evidence to support their beliefs and recognizefallacious attempts to persuade them. Critical thinking means overcoming all sorts of cognitive biases.
