Liberalism, atheism, male sexual exclusivity linked to IQ

This won't cause any controversy so I'm not even sure why I'm posting it here.

Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the the London School of Economics and Political Science correlated data on these behaviors with IQ from a large national U.S. sample and found that, on average, people who identified as liberal and atheist had higher IQs. This applied also to sexual exclusivity in men, but not in women. The findings will be published in the March 2010 issue of Social Psychology Quarterly.

OK, I'll bite.

Does this mean smart women are more likely to sleep around? (My wife has a PhD in Math)

No. I'm going to assume that to even the brightest of men, all women remain a mystery.

So basically guys who are smart think you should be allowed to sleep around but choose not to, idiots who believe it will land them in hell do so anyway, and we still don't have a rational explanation for why women do anything they do?

...sounds about right.

No, it shouldn’t cause any controversy because its true about the IQ thing.

Liberals spent a lot more time in the liberal controlled school system being brain-washed than conservatives who went out in the real world and learned for themselves what was right and wrong.

More time in school means better test scores including IQ exams.

However Liberals with their higher IQ’s didn’t learn that endless handouts, endless welfare, endless spending and liberal policies in Washington are bankrupting America.

They have made each families portion of the federal debt four times what their private debt is.

The Japanese were always referred to as having high IQ’s also. But they enjoyed playing catch with Chinese babies on their bayonet’s and torturing and killing for fun during WW2.

Good job too, if you want your cardiologists and neurosurgeons to be competent and your engineers to design airplane engines that keep running.

You have it ass-backwards, but we now know that's to be expected from a conservative.

Higher IQ leads to more effective use of time in the educational system.

The biggest contributions BY FAR to the federal debt came under just two administrations: Reagan and Bush. Not that a conservative would be expected to know this, of course.

Blah, blah, blah ... I would be willing to bet that on average, people who identify as liberal on some issues, conservative on other issues, and agnostic have higher IQs.

Yes and no. A person does need to reach a certain level of reading and comprehension to be able to understand what the test is asking in the first place.

I stand corrected, IQ scores are not related to higher education.

And I'd even say there's a yes/no on that as well. People that have higher IQs tend to attend better schools and are able to obtain higher levels of education. There are relatively few people with IQs of 80 that have a Phd.

Wrong. There is most definitely a direct positive correlation between higher levels of education and higher IQ scores. That in itself does not establish cause and effect, but to say they are not related is simply not true.

There are other un-PC relationships between IQ and things like income & family structure regardless of whether people like it or not. Usually their objection stems from misunderstanding the distinction between relationship and cause (and what they think it infers about them personally).

For example, most base jumping occurs from tall objects. I'm guessing there is a positive (and probably very strong) positive correlation between base jumping events and proximity of tall objects; but neither once causes the other.

It's hard to avoid. For example, the analogy is one of the primary tests used on the GRE (a primitive IQ test) as well as others. But your ability to demonstrate ability requires knowing the definition(s) of the words presented. That level of vocabulary definitely requires higher education, or a very atypical work/personal life.

[billvon 3,009]

>IQ scores are not related to education.

Education, in general, does not improve IQ scores. However, the opposite IS true - higher IQ often leads to higher levels of education, simply because the person is capable of them.

To put it another way, if your IQ is 80, you're unlikely to be getting a master's degree in engineering. Doesn't mean that the master's degree will make the people in it smarter, just means that more of the smarter people were able to complete it.

What I was trying to point out is that "brain washed liberals" did not get their higher IQ's from dodging work and the real world by going to college. They had on average, higher IQ's before college and in fact that is why they went to college.

This is obviously not to say that all liberals are intelligent and all conservatives are dumb. (tempting as it might be)
