Intelligence Study Links Low I.Q. To Prejudice, Racism, Conservatism

[Ragnar Lothbrok]

you can probably lump in religious piousness with that study.

[squealpiggy]

Yeah, I don't know how reliable those tests are in finding 'intelligence.'

This was their second part of the study:



I think that the study did a great job at finding out that the wackiest far out conservatives are 'stupid.' And people have managed to interpret it into conservatives are stupid and liberals are smarter.

You could probably do the opposite study that would find lower cognitive ability in people who have interest in *insert dumb left-wing thought here*, left-wing socialist tendencies and are more accepting of different people.

I'm sure you could find a few leftist truthers who are pretty stupid.

Hey, not my fault you have guys like Romney and Gingrich as "viable" candidates, and have clowns like Palin and Trump co-signing them.

Shout out to spell check. I couldn't spell "candidates" to save my life.

Im not apart of that group. lol
While I lean right on some issues, im in no way shape or form with those mainstream morons. We could write a book about that issue. Given the choice this year, I would vote for Ron Paul. But who cares.

No, I was actually agreeing that most academics are, indeed, left leaning. As I said, everyone knows this. It's nothing to hide.

I didn't imply that they might be "'right' because, they would know best.", at all.

What I was saying, was that SP trying to say that these guys who conducted the study were probably left-leaning because they were academics was, at least at face value, in a slight degree ironic because academics generally have above average intelligence. (Although it wasn't meant to be taken too seriously.)

And with that said, it's good night from me. It's 2:30am here, and I've been sipping on some whiskey.

I got you.

The article is not a paper, it's on the Huffington Post. Amazing that HuffPo is so left leaning editorially considering it is a for profit venture that doesn't actually pay its employees.

The paper is linked to from the original article and is an academic paper. You can read it but I suspect you will just continue to claim it is nothing more that "liberal bias".



Interesting how you don't count Fox News, the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail, the NY Times and every radio talk show in the world ever as being "the current media establishment". It is not the "media establishment" that produced this data, it's a psychology department in a Canadian university.The fact that you actually thought this paper was produced by Huffington Post is starting to make me think that perhaps there's some truth to its findings.



That's your response? I'm (certainly by American standards) fairly liberal and my response to this paper was skepticism for the reasons I outlines in my earlier posts. Your response is to... call people "gay".

Where to even start. The H-post means nothing to me when dealing with this "academic paper". Like I already said.

These people will stop at nothing, they are getting desperate. First race didnt exist, I guess now it does. Then the concept of 'IQ' didnt exist, now it does.

Usually things involving IQ are left out of main stream media. Wonder if Yahoo will pick up any more IQ studies(maybe about how blacks score so low), I wont hold my breath. Im going to check out the actual study. Not some opinion piece from the post. Have a feeling im going to find some interesting things to say the least. Going to check it out when I have the time.

I never said the "media establishment" produced this data. However the media establishment did pick it up and publish it for all to see. I personally believe a Un-PC study could be done to show the exact opposite. Matter of fact, hundreds of studies have been done about IQ from legit colleges similar to this "psychology department in a Canadian university."

But guess what, "my" mainstream Fox News, the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail, the NY Times etc. NEVER would cover it. Why? We all know.

Guilty by association, you know like this whole idea. Yes I find it humorous that live science also puts out legit efforts at the idea 'Gay Parents May Be the Best Parents'. I bet you dont see the humor though.

Generally people who are insecure about their accomplishments, physical ability or intelligence, tend to latch onto (and often exaggerate) those qualities in their particular race, political ideology, nationality or even religious affiliation (or absence thereof.)

jim jeffries pwnd.

Why on earth would you think that? If true this makes me a god compared to the average conservative. Though I still have to defer to more intelligent conservatives like Thomas Sowell, Mark Steyn, Mark Levin, Jonah Goldberg, Charles Krauthammer, Victor Davis Hanson, Bobby Jindal, Paul Ryan, Thad McCotter, Ben Shapiro and more.

Lol he already pwned himself when he said he would love Newt Gingrich as president.......

The last time I exposed you for making stuff up you said "b. b. b. but the rest of it was true." A while back I listed Gingrich on a fairly long list of acceptable (in his case barely) candidates, early in the vetting process, when all I knew of him was that he was Speaker of the House the last time we balanced a budget (or two or four depending on who you ask) and enacted welfare reform. More recently (a month ago) I said this

I think I'd rather have Obama than Gingrich or Romney. Because Romney won't do enough to change the course we're on and you never know what the hell Gingrich will do (maybe one good thing and 10 bad.) I'll just be praying that interest rates don't go through the roof before I can get refinanced into a fixed rate (banks around here suck,) or that one or more of the Justices retire.

Pretty scary what Obama just did, making a recess appointment, when the senate wasn't actually in recess [something even W never did with the Pelosi/Reid monstrosity to deal with his last two years (when **** really hit the fan.)]



I was initially taken in by the balanced budgets and welfare reform while he was speaker. But the more I dig, the more he scares me, maybe even more than Barry. More than likely he ran again to sell more books and surprised himself when the anti Romney crowd took him for a brief spin. And his numbers will probably pick back up a bit after the 8 or so debates this month. But he's got waaaaaaaaaay too much baggage to ever be nominated.

I'm still holding out for Paul Ryan and Bobby Jindal, while I wait four more years for Marco Rubio.

And to be clear, I never LOVED the idea of Gingrich as president.



I'll have to check out the study when I get a chance, but from the responses I'm certainly not for conservative authoritarianism and don't qualify as a social conservative. The only part of the nasty business we call politics that even interests me in the slightest is the economics side of it.

In the late 1970s, the Larry P. v. Riles case was filed against the state of California on behalf of African-American parents who argued that the administration of culturally biased standardized IQ tests resulted in disproportionate numbers of African-American children identified and inappropriately placed in special education classes for the Educable Mentally ******ed (EMR).

A decade ago, in 1996, black students had a mean combined score of 798. Since that time there has been a 23 point improvement in black scores on the GRE. But white scores have increased at an even greater rate. In 1996 the combined white score was 1034. Thus, the black-white gap was 236 points in 1996 and 241 points today.









See what I just did there? I'm moderately conservative and far from stupid. In fact, it takes more intelligence than the average "I love everyone (while getting mugged)" leftie possesses to realize how much multiculturalism has failed. If you're going to discredit IQ scores when applied to blacks, then don't be hypocritical and embrace it when they paint "racists" in a bad light.

Besides, when did conservatism equate racism by default?

[Big BRICKS]

I want to know what the average IQ of an MS13 member is

[Canelo Phresh]

well they dont tell you that mars temp has increased at the same rate as ours. also new studies show that jupiters temp has been steadily rising for the last decade. the global warming misinformation campaipn has been strong.

[Alibata]

I want to know what the average IQ of an MS13 member is

assuming most MS13 members are liberals they must be geniuses.

[BrooklynBomber]

I think its been more or less established that the more extremist the person in their thinking, the less that person is open to debate his or her ideas, the far likely they are just not capable of the debate in the first place.

[SkillspayBills]

Is anyone suprised? Certainly I am not.
