Smart men more exclusive. Atheists and liberals have higher IQs.

[☭proletarian☭]

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....


An earlier study by Kanazawa found that more intelligent individuals were more nocturnal, waking up and staying up later than less intelligent individuals. Because our ancestors lacked artificial light, they tended to wake up shortly before dawn and go to sleep shortly after dusk. Being nocturnal is evolutionarily novel.

In the current study, Kanazawa argues that humans are evolutionarily designed to be conservative, caring mostly about their family and friends, and being liberal, caring about an indefinite number of genetically unrelated strangers they never meet or interact with, is evolutionarily novel. So more intelligent children may be more likely to grow up to be liberals.
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.

Similarly, religion is a byproduct of humans' tendency to perceive agency and intention as causes of events, to see "the hands of God" at work behind otherwise natural phenomena. "Humans are evolutionarily designed to be paranoid, and they believe in God because they are paranoid," says Kanazawa. This innate bias toward paranoia served humans well when self-preservation and protection of their families and clans depended on extreme vigilance to all potential dangers. "So, more intelligent children are more likely to grow up to go against their natural evolutionary tendency to believe in God, and they become atheists."

Liberals and atheists smarter? Intelligent people have values novel in human evolutionary history, study finds

So, liberals are smarter than conservatives according to that study. Now, that should produce some interesting discussion.

How about it, are liberals smarter?

 

[uscitizen]

I was smart enough not to vote for Bush even once.

 

[LuckyDan]

But cons are happier. Go ahead. Try and make me mad. Can't be done.

Apparently not. Look who they elected President.

Well, seeing as I've yet to hear him propose any real liberal policies, I 'm sakeptical of the claim that he was elected by liberals.


Hell, Lenin called his party the Bolsheviks, but I've never heard anyone ever claim they were actually a majority.

interesting. and it may be true. but my understanding is that there is a 7 point standard deviation in the results of the Stanford-Binet IQ Test. That would mean if the results were + or - 7, the findings for liberals and conservative are almost identical in this test. Moreover, average IQ is 100. For IQ to be superior, it would have to be substantially above that. Finally, there have been other studies which indicate the higher the IQ, the greater the level of sexual promiscuity, as opposed to monogamy as indicated in the study you cited.

well that would explain Henry Kissinger, maybe.

I don't think prisoners are happier people.

and why bill clinton has issues in that regard.

If liberals are so smart, how come they fell for the 'hope and change' shit? Was it cuz it was catchy?

intelligence and gullibility are not always mutually exclusive, regardless of political affiliation.

I left school at 15yrs 43yrs ago, I am a dyslexic, I have an IQ level that allows me to snear at mere mortals. I dont

I've yet to hear of any ideological liberals supporting any of Obama's policies.

The hopey changy crap was mirrored in the rights reaction to the brown election.
President Brown, he is going to straighten out Washington, etc.

So what is it that smart men think about sexual exclusivity that smart women don't all agree with them on? So smart men realize they are better off in this society being faithful while smart women have figured out that for women, it's not necessary?
