Dumb people make dumb decisions? Who would have thunk it.

Incredibly smart people also make dumb decisions so something seems off about this study.

Real life decisions are a lot different than making hypothetical decisions about simple and emotionally neutral subjects on a test. 

Conflicting information, unpleasant consequences of the decision, and feelings about the other people involved can all easily steer people away from the making the most rational decision.

That's not what the word rationality means in this context.
