Is the reflective, algorithmic, autonomous hierarchy specifically for "reasoning problems" as in tools for solving non-personal puzzle questions? If yes it seems dangerous to draw too many conclusions from that for every day rationality. If not, what's the evidence that there are "few continuous individual differences" concerning the autonomous mind? For example, people seem to differ a lot in how they are inclined to respond when pressured to something, some seem to need conscious effort to be able to say no, some seem to need conscious effort to avoid responding with visible anger.
