Why?

Yeah this is a load of pseudoscience bullshit. If liberals are intelligent why cant they see their policies literally destroy their country? just look at what liberalism did to europe.

>2010
Outdated. The article can easily be proven incorrect, there is just a way too high correlation of being a moron and a liberal to say otherwise.

> IQ

Your data is fake. There's no study connected. Please post the actual study, not just an article that references an alleged study.

Republicans have higher IQs than democrats.

>These results are consistent with Carl's (2014) hypothesis that higher intelligence among classically liberal Republicans compensates for lower intelligence among socially conservative Republicans.

Ha. Makes sense. We all know there are some dumb fucks in the Republican party.

>This study examines three other measures of cognitive ability from the GSS: a test of probability knowledge, a test of verbal reasoning, and an assessment by the interviewer of how well the respondent understood the survey questions. In all three cases, individuals who identify as Republican score slightly higher than those who identify as Democrat; the unadjusted differences are 1–3 IQ points, 2–4 IQ points and 2–3 IQ points, respectively

How much does 4 points of IQ (the highest suggested here) affect a person?

> Makes sense

Depends on what the criteria for socially conservative is. In his study on verbal intelligence, Carl said the following:

"I utilise six measures of socially liberal beliefs, namely: attitude toward homosexuality, attitude toward marijuana legalisation, attitude toward abortion, attitude toward free speech for communists, attitude toward free speech for racists,
and attitude toward free speech for militarists"
gwern.net/docs/iq/2014-carl.pdf

So, supporting hate speech (free speech for racists) correlated with higher IQ, and was seen as being socially liberal (free speech = liberal in Carl's analysis) but some may say that supporting hate speech is socially conservative in 2016 America, so you have to look at the data. It's always important to have data.

Carl's original study was also considered kinda shit, as mentioned in that study you just linked.

>Carl (2014) analysed data from the U.S. General Social Survey (GSS), and found that individuals who identify as Republican have slightly higher verbal intelligence than those who identify as Democrat. An important qualification was that the measure of verbal intelligence used was relatively crude, namely a 10-word vocabulary test.

Anyway, social conservatism is a combination of most or all of these view points:

- Ban marijuana
- Ban abortion
- Ban gay marriage
- Be religious

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_conservatism

aka "Traditional family values".

You know the type of people of whom I speak.

The criteria for "social conservatism" is the same in the newer study. He used the same data set, but correlated beliefs with more variables than just verbal intelligence.

Wait, what is the criteria for social conservatism in the study?

I must have missed that. I was going off my own and wikipedia's views of it.

"I utilise six measures of socially liberal beliefs, namely: attitude toward homosexuality, attitude toward marijuana legalisation, attitude toward abortion, attitude toward free speech for communists, attitude toward free speech for racists,
and attitude toward free speech for militarists"

>haha this study shows that republicans have a lower IQ than democrats you stupid inbred rednecks
>studies showing that blacks have a lower IQ than whites are pseudo scientific. In fact IQ itself is a social construct.

>Take lots of old folks into account from when avg iq was lower
>they have conservative views
>look guys conservatives are stupid pls be library pls pls

Find conservative youth amd tale their avg iq and you'll see a completely different result

Pic related. Mandatory Kek praising

Can you buy things with IQ points?

My IQ is over 130 and my political ideology is national socialism

Where do communists, fascists and anarchists fit into this? Liberal vs conservatism is a silly narrow spectrum that only exists in the US

Define liberal.
Because being a literal fucking self-destructive cuck is about as dumb as it gets.

Strange. I have a 130 IQ and think the holocaust was justified. What happened?

Most liberal voters are black.

Average I.Q. ~75.

Your chart is lying.

keep in mind that correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation. There are a Lot more socioeconomic influences on which party you vote for than this might lead one to believe

>the holocaust happened

Being open-minded and willing to explore new ideas is associated with being intelligent which is associated with being liberal.

>By Satoshi Kanazawa
Lol. That's that jap who got kicked off a journal for talking about how black women aren't hot.

I can dream, can't I?

This. Liberal != populist.

Liberal tears.

>psychology

Which obeys political, legal and media agendas to keep itself paid and relevant.

Not good science or a good source.

He had no real data to back up that claim either (even if you think that it's true, he didn't have good data).

The guy is a fraud with pet theories.

...

This is a bunch of bull, or I am far outside the norm. I am a freaking nuclear scientist who doesn't like trump since he not conservative enough.

>be me
>be 147 iq
>hate races equally
libs btfo

>younger people are more liberal
wow what a fucking surprise considering they're basically parasites anyway

I smell that familiar mix of politicized (((science))) and double standards here. As in... the hysterical rush to discredit the very concept of IQ when it speaks unfavorably of minorities, but the maniacal glee to disseminate (((studies))) that bash a white male demographic as "low IQ." I just don't believe it, frankly.

And I know how the modern academic environment funds and coddles researchers who push desired narratives, and blacklists and denies tenure to researchers who rock the boat.

And then, there's the source (((psychology today))). So... dropped.

Average intelligence people are prime for indoctrination, any lower they can't get get into brainwashing factories, any higher they won't fall for it.

Why do liberals always need to be told they are intellectuals by their Jewish owners? Because leftism only survives on self hatred and low self esteem.

Obama was billed as the smartest ever, yet demostrated how genuinely stupid he is over and over again.
Psychology is not real science anyway. Even the chair holding your lazy ass up is more perceptive than yourself, user.
Feel bad, man.

Here's another psychobabbletoday piece. Do you blindly agree with this, too?
psychologytoday.com/blog/psyched/201205/does-autism-lead-atheism

>I.Q. grows by statistically significant amounts within the span of a generation or two

>I.Q. is cemented permanently into the genetics of races therefor niggers have low I.Q., it can't be fixed or changed and they're subhumans

This is the quintessential mental gymnasium of Sup Forums

Liberal socially ,fiscally conservative

>arguing against an appeal to authority

What is the null hypothesis?
Additionally,

Where did you get that score from? Online IQ tests don't count because they artificially inflate your ego.
