|
>> If you have done previous rationality stuff it could be a bit basic, but there are lots of interviews with really big names in the rationality game. Daniel Kahneman talks about type 1 and type 2 thinking, for example.

>> Most of the questions related to concepts from the statistics classes I took in college, so I'd recommend learning some general statistics and reading how scientists test their hypothesizes through falsification and similar tests.

|
>> I apologize that I don't have any handy links to material for you to read up on, but I picked up most of the concepts in the article by applying my college education to the research papers I'm required to read.

>> I don't know how effective it is, but there's an app called the [Credence Calibration game](http://rationality.org/calibration/) that's built to train one aspect of rationality. As far as I know, there aren't yet broader programs for developing all of these skills.

>> The same site has a section with [book recommendations](http://rationality.org/reading/). You may find some of them helpful.
