I read this post while in the middle writing my post on heuristic, and I suspect that smarts and toughness apply to both the heuristic/creative components of rationality, and to the critical/skeptical components of rationality.
I wonder which degrades more under pressure: the ability to formulate new productive ideas, or the ability to check the ideas you currently have.
Have you tried to imagine what experiment you'd do?
Which degrades more will depend on what type of new ideas the experimenter is asking you to generate under what type of pressure. It would also depend on how the experimentalist is distinguishing between "formulating new ideas," and "checking ideas you currently have."
In other words, I feel your question is not concrete enough to even begin trying to answer.
