I've seen other reports similar to this one over the years.

"Bailey also said that these preferences may stem from a desire to show superiority or elitism, which also has to do with IQ. In fact, aligning oneself with "unconventional" philosophies such as liberalism or atheism may be "ways to communicate to everyone that you're pretty smart," he said."

just starting a conversation, not saying anybody's better than anybody else.

*Bailey is a conservative.

I scored on hundred ten which is just above functionally retarded. I'm the biggest liberal here. I believe in evolution.
I found this article insulting to women, atheists and liberals. It reads as if maybe written by a C student junior high school student. I almost made it through one day without being degraded by a man, even if by just an article.
Either I'm growing in my intelligence or the imagination, creativity,tolerance, and intellect of this forum are on the decline. It's a shame

Not to mention insulting to bears; to anthropomorphize bears with the burden of reason.

God, I hope my dreams come true tomorrow! How I long to listen to just one more song, please God just one more, featuring a mediocre synthesized vocalist singing cruddy lyrics and music arranged to serve the sole purpose of showcasing said vocalist and please God will you use studio musicians this time. Oh I pray. and please, make it Prog or emo. Amen.

Its just one study, relax. this sort of thing is interesting to me. once, i taught psychology and it helped me understand more about people/the world than any other experience i've had.

aside; i've known plenty of conservatives who i thought were probably intellectually higher than me, and plenty of dumb as dirt libs. but.... who knows.
