Liberals and athiests are smarter

[Ravi]

More intelligent people are statistically significantly more likely to exhibit social values and religious and political preferences that are novel to the human species in evolutionary history. Specifically, liberalism and atheism, and for men (but not women), preference for sexual exclusivity correlate with higher intelligence, a new study finds.

Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) support Kanazawa's hypothesis. Young adults who subjectively identify themselves as "very liberal" have an average IQ of 106 during adolescence while those who identify themselves as "very conservative" have an average IQ of 95 during adolescence.

What does Kwanzaa have to do with intelligence?

 

[uscitizen]

Of course we...err they are.

Good job of proving the article right.

 

[Xenophon]

If they were really smarter they would be far more flexible to all ideas and postions and far less dogmatic and stubborn then they often display.

Ergo, the study is false.

Who is Ergo?

Funny, I don't find them "smarter" at all.
I do find them to be the MOST hateful though.

You are AMAZINGLY stupid as is this study. It is also a scientific fact that the MAJORITY of young adults are Liberal because they have not lived life yet and learned liberalism does not work.

You remember the saying " If a young person is not liberal they have no heart, if a 30 year old is not conservative they have no brains."

The tests are clearly biased and the results cannot be used to draw any generalized conclusions about the relative intelligence of different segments of the population.

Just like past results that suggested white people are smarter than black people.

I mean, how silly is that?

Then there is that bollocks about gays being smart and good workers...

Where do people find these things anyway?

Clearly these unfounded claims are made up out of thin air by hateful people with an agenda.

Douchers, every last one of them.

Than what? A yellow brick? Or a red one?

It's possible they are biased.

But it isn't like results that suggest white people are smarter than black.

This study isn't saying liberals and atheists are smarter because they are liberals or atheists but rather smarter people tend to be liberals or atheists.

 

[boedicca]

Actually, it just proves that younger people who are largely influenced by the Educational Establishment in the U.S. tend to be Liberal.

If the researchers were really interested in a valid sample, it would not have been Ageist.
