I am happy for you for doing so well on the questions. They never asked me to take their test, sadly.
Additionally, from the professor's website:
Both science literacy and CRT have been shown to correlate negatively with religiosity. And there is, in turns out, a modest negative correlation (r = -0.26, p < 0.01) between the composite science comprehension measure and a religiosity scale formed by aggregating church attendance, frequency of prayer, and self-reported "importance of God" in the respondents' lives.
and
In my paper, Ideology, Motivated Reasoning, and Cognitive Reflection, I found that the Cogntive Reflection Test did not meaningfully correlate with left-right political outlooks.
In this dataset, I found that there is a small correlation (r = -0.05, p = 0.03) between the science comprehension measure and a left-right political outlook measure, Conservrepub, which aggregates liberal-conservative ideology and party self-identification. The sign of the correlation indicates that science comprehension decreases as political outlooks move in the rightward direction--i.e., the more "liberal" and "Democrat," the more science comprehending.
From your article:
Yale law professor Dan Kahan posted on his blog this week that he analyzed the responses of more than 2,000 American adults recruited for another study and found that, on average, people who leaned liberal were more science literate than those who leaned conservative.

A correlation of +/-0.05 is pretty dam non-existent relationship.. I'll take a church full of religious folks over any random subway train of LA or NYC lefty voters.
Why Liberals Are More Intelligent Than Conservatives | Psychology TodayAnalyses of large representative samples, from both the United States and the United Kingdom, confirm this prediction. In both countries, more intelligent children are more likely to grow up to be liberals than less intelligent children. For example, among the American sample, those who identify themselves as very liberal in early adulthood have a mean childhood IQ of 106.4, whereas those who identify themselves as very conservative in early adulthood have a mean childhood IQ of 94.8.
Incidentally, this finding substantiates one of the persistent complaints among conservatives. Conservatives often complain that liberals control the media or the show business or the academia or some other social institutions. The Hypothesis explains why conservatives are correct in their complaints. Liberals do control the media, or the show business, or the academia, among other institutions, because, apart from a few areas in life (such as business) where countervailing circumstances may prevail, liberals control all institutions. They control the institutions because liberals are on aveage more intelligent than conservatives and thus they are more likely to attain the highest status in any area of (evolutionarily novel) modern life.
that is going to burn....
love it
If you see the average age of people in the tea Party, they are know more about everything...they realize this government has become too big, overbearing, wasteful, bloated with more people and Agencies than we need, etc etc...they've lived with long enough

In fact --- the lawyer guy ought to just round up the customers at New Age Crystal Worship shops.. Wouldn't even have to ask if they were left or right.

Okay... maybe a LITTLE significance.
Mind you this is talking about general intelligence while the work to which the lead post referred was discussing science knowledge.

Do you remember this from the Texas Republican Party 2012 Education policy?Knowledge-Based Education We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the students fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority.

The quote goes a long way towards explaining why institutions, in general, are so inefficient. Huge amounts of energy and treasure are expended in cleaning up the messes institutions make via unintended consequences. High IQ and critical thinking skills are two very different things and unfortunately, many of those high IQs lack any real critical thinking skills...if they did, then we wouldn't be forever plagued with their unintended consequences.
