I recommend the book http://www.amazon.com/What-Intelligence-Tests-Miss-Psychology/dp/030012385X on this topic. I don't remember tests measuring aspects of "rationality" were uncorrelated with IQ tests, but they were not highly correlated. Higher IQ people do do better at "rationality" tests when they are prompted with a description of rational behavior, but otherwise they do not do much better.
