Swaraagni 's Key Ideas from Intelligence Information Thinking
by Edward De Bono

A person with high intelligence can take a position on a subject and then use their intelligence to defend that position very ably. The better the defense of that position the less does that person see any need to consider alternatives or listen to others. That is not good thinking.
