I know you're looking for lesswrong posts but I would also consider this video. Keith Stanovich introduced me to a lot of concepts in rationality and I would highly recommend any material from him.

Very interesting, though I'm irked by his use of "cognitive" to refer to IQ and rationality, but to exclude e.g. social skills. As if social skills were located in our livers.

True. However in this context he was trying to emphasize that he wasn't talking about "Emotional Intelligence" which seems to be based largely on intuition.
