>The findings of this study suggest that cognitive ability plays a role in shaping individuals’ political attitudes and beliefs. While more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between cognitive ability and political ideology, these results highlight the importance of considering cognitive ability when examining political attitudes and behaviors.

Lol sounds interesting, thanks for posting. Too much shitposting and trolling on this board, so we need at least a few quality posts once in awhile.

Anyway, this is one I will certainly be referencing in the future, and I'm sure many redditor trolls and woke leftists will seethe as a result.

iq =/= politics

/thread

>>15574309
You can say that all you want, but your theory has been disproved by experiment

>>15574320
iq is the willing to do stuffs the fastest and easily way possible, often by creating other stuffs noone has ever thought.

Politics is just the name used to qualify interactions within a group of people.
Extremists from all sides or moderates can be dumb or intelligent, that's not dependant from there political thought.

b-but IQ isn't real you chuds!!!!!

>>15574352
are you writing like an ESL on purpose?

>>15574426
Leftists, who are low IQ, are incentivised by their insecurity to assert that the measure that marks them as unintelligent must be false.

>>15574430
Same with Rightists.

>>15574461
...except those Rightists who are dumb and blame aliens/freemason/muslims/jews/Leaf-President for creating an iq test that mesures them below the average.

Also same with Leftists with nazis/Putin/Trump/Capitalism/aliens etc. whatever.

Who? Name one.

>>15574473
what? take your meds

>>15574320
not only disproved by experiment, but its also unreasonable to expect that low IQs are going to conceive politics as intelligently as high IQs do.

The left suddenly believed in IQ again when all those headlines were going around about COVID causing IQ drops.

>>15574473
You wouldn't do that anon, just go on the internet and tell lies?

>>15574072
Did they control for race? It would be more interesting to know how the political views of white people align by IQ. We know blacks have lower IQ and also bloc vote left as a group. Other proxies for intelligence, like college degrees, would indicate that wokism is an alliance between blacks and more intelligent whites.

>>15574575
negro conservatives are higher iq than white liberals

Rememer that one study that found out that disabling parts of the brain with magnets made one more atheistic, less conservative and more open to "refugees"?
Remember when /pol/ found out about it and realized leftists are literally brain damaged?
Remember that one Israeli company that got the US health department go ahead to start their innovative new way of treating depression?
>with a cap
>with magnets

My almonds...

>>15574436
The science says that the politically correct leftists are low iq and that their political opponents are high iq

>>15574427
Mixing up 'there', 'their' and 'they're' is an EPL thing. That anon is just dumb.

>N = 300
Garbage. Isn't it funny how sociology isn't considered a real science by /sci/ right up until shit like this comes along? Probably has something to do with the fact that this is an outlier and most studies tend to show the opposite...

>>15575088
You know what else disabling parts of the brain can do? Prevent seizures. My god, what a midwit you have to be to think that "part of brain is active" means "I'm SMORT!!!"

>>15574566
they'll also gladly parade around any "study" implying chuds, rightoids and magats are of lower iq

i always thought it would be cool for a based rich guy to make a public offer that he'd pay loud internet leftoids (hasan, vaush, random assorted tiktok wokists, particularly the black female ones) $10,000 each to take an officially proctored iq test and then publish the results

>>15574352
where iq meets politics is likely in the ability to predict unintended knock-on effects. this tracks with left = low iq because their worldview is a utopian religion with the underlying faith claim of "just do exactly as i say and we will finally achieve the perfect End of History. anything that goes wrong is just because you didn't do it right." it's genuinely child-brain intellectual software

>>15574072
yeh they are fucking retarded way more retarded than the flatearth groups, qanon, alex jones fans etc...
these "people" stupidity is inconceivable i never in my life hear any of them demonstrate a fraction of capability to process events or craft a non slogan sentences, their entire thought process stems from the enhancements of propaganda and there is not even a glimmer of anything else

So hate speech laws then effectively target high IQ people

>>15576286
Yes it's a regressive law targeted to discriminate against high IQ people and the autistic.

>>15575768
the "everything would be perfect if i was dictator-emperor of planet earth" ideology has nothing to do with utopia, except for the individual who is imagining themselves to be the god of humanity.
its just a common narcissistic power fantasy that all atheists have

>>15574072
So wait, they directly put "freedom of speech" opposite "political correctness" and had people identify themselves by party affiliation? How is this not biased dreck? Are we really supposed to keep pretending that the party that is banning books in schools is as pro-"free speech" as they claim? These are hollow terms that only serve as shibboleths to signal party affiliation, which was also asked for directly.

>t. self-proclaimed internet expert with no formal training or credentials who thinks he is in a better position to assess proper psychological and statistical methodology that working psychologists and statisticians who are literally experts on these topics

I'm pretty sure the people who conducted this study and published this paper have a better understanding of the science than some random person on the internet. Do you have a PhD? ARe you a working psychologist, sociologist, or statistician? Do you work for a major university or a government lab? No, you are an anti-science schizo on the internet who doesn't even understand the subject he is attempting to criticize.

Go back to reddlt, tranny.

They didn't. You can read the article. Someone posted it near the top of the thread.

they won't
their determined ignorance will protect them from having to acknowledge the hurtful truth about themselves

I guess thats why
>/pol/ - politically incorrect
is the highest IQ board on 4chan

>>15574072
Seems you have premise and conclusion backwards. If low iqs are more likely to be woke, this does not necessarily mean that woke people are more likely to be low iq.

>intelligence and cognitive ability uniquely predict less concern for political correctness
One of the a paradoxes at play with this article is that the low IQs who might be able to learn how to better themselves from this research are too low IQ to read and comprehend the article.

>>15577119
Even if all the low IQs were genocided, there would still be a spread of IQs amongst those who remain and the lowest IQs among them would continue to do stupid stuff, be easily tricked and manipulated and cause trouble for everyone else. Idiots are one of the great conundrums of existence that will never be solved.

>>15574352
cope

"Indeed, it appears that
although both cognitive capacity (e.g., De keersmaecker
et al., 2021) and emotional intelligence (e.g., Onraet et al.,
2017) predict lower levels of (racial) prejudice, they nevertheless are both also associated with more support for freedom of speech and less concern for political correctness.
This does not mean that people higher in cognitive and
emotional abilities want to actually promote counterfactual
or hurtful discourse, or that they consider free speech without boundaries altogether. De keersmaecker and colleagues
(2021) already demonstrated that although people with
higher levels of cognitive ability showed relatively higher
support for freedom of speech for all target groups, they still
showed substantial differences between groups in the
extent of their support. Rather, our findings signal that,
relative to those lower in cognitive abilities and emotional
intelligence, high scorers are more aversive to and cautious
about the general idea of external control and censure of
what people can say and how they say it. This suggests that
individuals high in cognitive ability and those high in emotional intelligence may have a different perspective and/or
sensitivity to the “double edge” nature of restrictions to free
speech. In fact, although such restrictions are often presented as a way to protect disadvantaged groups, they
can be (and are) used as easily to oppress these groups."

wow it's fucking nothing

>>15576086
i talked to normies about this irl.
they are too stupid to make the distinction, the conversation is iterating to this point every time.
I can't blame the influencers anymore people truly deserve this

>>15576775
>>15576841
I have, in fact, read the article. They measure "concern for political correctness" on the one hand and "Freedom of Speech" on the other. How is this not intended to prove some sort of inverse relationship between the two?

>>15576761
>Sociology is a real science now!
>Trust the experts!
The hypocrisies keep piling on.

>>15578078
You only reject the scientific findings in the article because they characterize you as low IQ

herd following instincts

>>15574733
white liberals > black conservatives. blacks complain online about how racism in the west coast/pnw and the north is a lot worse than southern racism and how southern whites are better/friendlier. despite voting for leftists, liberal whites continue to live in a bubble and rarely interact with non-whites. meanwhile the chuds in the south vote repub yet mix with blacks. the amount of mixed people i saw in the south was outstanding. i have also noticed that black conservatives want to mix with whites more than liberal blacks. white conservatives champion them and say we need black conservatives to get black votes but no liberal black will vote for these black conservatives because 99% of the time they’re married to white women.

>>15580520

cringe and unrelaxing

when someone says "liberals are the real racists" that only makes me like liberals. racism is based, never seeing a negro for your entire life is based. living somewhere that you have to tolerate them is living poorly and stupidly
