Cognitive ability and party identity in the United States

[Anonymous No.15677955]

Science says that Republicans have higher IQ than Democrats.
Since the overwhelming majority of instructors in universities are Democrats, does that suggest that university students are getting a low quality education from low IQ professors?

>Abstract
>Carl (2014) analysed data from the U.S. General Social Survey (GSS), and found that individuals who identify as Republican have higher verbal intelligence than those who identify as Democrat. 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 higher than those who identify as Democrat; the differences are 1–3 IQ points, 2–4 IQ points and 2–3 IQ points, respectively. Path analyses indicate that the associations between cognitive ability and party identity are largely but not totally accounted for by socio-economic position: individuals with higher cognitive ability tend to have better socio-economic positions, and individuals with better socio-economic positions are more likely to identify as Republican. These results are consistent with Carl's (2014) hypothesis that higher intelligence among classically liberal Republicans compensates for lower intelligence among socially conservative Republicans.

Your opinion is literally meaningless.

I suspect the difference comes down to blacks and beaners.

And I say this as someone who is extremely right wing.

I bet if you counted only whites, there would be no difference, or even a slight iq difference in favour of Dems.

If you fall for the false dichotomy of political parties you are automatically low IQ. Republicans and democrats are exchangeable. They do not rule the US. The true rulers sit at Blackrock, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Pfizer, Lockheed Martin, Exxon etc. They are not elected by the people. Your only choice is to vote who will represent these corporations' interests against the people for the next 4 years.
