Study finds conservatives have lower-IQs than liberals

[Uncensored2008]

No dummy...you are an indictment of the educational system. They failed you when you flunked 3rd grade yet they passed you on.

Derp derp derp, that were rilly clevor Asslips.... Yoo beez emprezive widz yo smurtynuss.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Exactly, yet you blamed it on comments. Thanks for admitting to being full of shit

Do you understand the concept of "confirmation bias" or why it would apply to this case?

 

[SassyIrishLass]

I find that difficult to believe after reading leftist comments here. With that said, for every study there is another study to refute the first study.

You believed it before reading comments?

I've been dealing with left loons for a decade...I knew it before I landed here

Exactly, yet you blamed it on comments. Thanks for admitting to being full of shit

Woooosh another one flies over the point on your noodle. You're a dim one

A stunning indictment of our educational system.

Your ignorance is not an indictment of or our educational system, simply because you failed to avail yourself to the available educational opportunities. Finishing second grade would have helped you immensely, you probably wouldn't even be a leftist...

There's really not much to you, is there. Maybe if you repeat the same hackneyed phrases over and over again they will begin to make sense.

Come on Asclepias, let's actually look at this study? Did you or delta take the time to find it? It is based on cognitive, not iq. And it is based on their model on the relationship of prejudice against homosexuals. And their model findings? Within .11 difference of each other and that is with their Model!

Republicans More Knowledgeable

Across the 12 knowledge items tested, the biggest gap between Democrats and Republicans comes over awareness of the current level of the Dow. Republicans also are more likely to correctly name Ben Bernanke as chairman of the Federal Reserve Board and know that Tim Geithner’s position is treasury secretary. In addition, a greater percentage of Republicans than Democrats know that Obama decided to increase the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan and that Ford is the U.S. automaker that has not taken emergency government loans.

But there is little or no partisan gap in knowledge on some other key items: Democrats and Republicans are about equally likely to know that China holds the most U.S. debt, that Hillary Clinton is secretary of state; and that roughly 4,300 U.S. troops have been killed in Iraq.

The differences in knowledge levels between Republicans and Democrats are mostly a reflection of the different demographics of the two groups. Republicans tend to be older, more educated, higher income and are more likely to be male; each of these characteristics is strongly associated with political and economic knowledge. When these characteristics are held constant – that is, when Republicans and Democrats with similar demographic characteristics are compared – there is little difference between the two groups.

More proof. A con that thinks knowledge and intellect is the same thing.

You can be knowledgeable about trapping rats. That doesnt make you intelligent.

I'm sure we can dig up a study that show how liberals are uppity snobs and need to post the same study 100 times to PROVE IT

I understand the concept of blaming others for thoughts you hold. It's common with cons...they claim they would support things if only dems didn't do *insert action here*

So you don't know what confirmation bias is and seek to erect a straw man in hopes of evading the issue at hand.

Delta is a retard who failed to even follow the link he posted, so we will ignore him. But the contention of the left is that they can prove the right is stupid through studies of conservatives. Is the the study legitimate? Is the testing methodology sound and complaint with statistical controls? Are the questions on the study valid, or do they lead to a predesignated conclusion?

1. In psychology and cognitive science, confirmation bias (or confirmatorybias) is a tendency to search for or interpret information in a way that confirms one's preconceptions, leading to statistical errors.
