ORIGINAL: joether That dog is most likely smarter and more informed than most of the conservatives and all the Tea Partier's in the United States. And he's not even a USA dog.... God...you are so funny. Not right...but funny. http://politicalhotwire.com/political-controversies/85787-harvard-study-shows-liberals-have-lower-iq-than-conservatives.html In which you can find this:Of the 100,000 people, there were people from many doctrines, from conservative to liberal to marxist to fascist. Socialists came out on bottom, with an average IQ of 87. The second worst were Liberals and then Marxists, with 88 and 89 respectively. Conservatives received an average score of 110, which is significantly above average. However, the conservatives did not score the highest. The holder of second place were Communists with an average I.Q of 115, and the first place was apolitical people who did not follow any specific doctrine, who received a whopping score on average of 135. Or this: http://www.thesecularconservative.com/2013/05/analyzing-liberals-have-higher-iqs-myth.html Of course, you can always find an article that shows that studies conducted in different parts of the world by different groups come up with completely different results: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/unique-everybody-else/201305/intelligence-and-politics-have-complex-relationship The gist of the article here is that those who are neither strongly identified as right wing or left wing but instead identify themselves as "right of center" or "left of center" are those that are most intelligent AND that there are studies that find liberals are most intelligent and studies that find conservatives are most intelligent. I guess it depends where you go for your studies. I like the Harvard result myself. Of course, they are a bastion of conservatism.
