No kidding!!

Ah the dumbest genius ever with another dumb take.  How did this comprehensive study of 107 people from Germany define "conservative views"?

You want me to do the work for you as per usual. You can easily read the actual paper as it's open access

I'll give you a hint, they used a well known questionnaire that has shown internal validity and is used quite often in political research. They used proper statistical analysis and found that in women it didn't matter.

High intelligence has been linked to openness and ability to tolerate complexity.

Your problem with this paper isn't even a reasonable one. There are many possible confounders which someone already outlined but you are focusing on how they defined conservatism, when they didn't, they used a tested metric for delineating that. They didn't make up their own as there would be no interstudy coherence nor anyway to determine if it's actual measuring what they claim (it would lack validity/veracity)

You just don't understand how research works and that's fine. Maybe, instead of railing against it automatically you could show some intellectual curiosity and try and understand it. I get my title was inflammatory and trolly but...

Seems like the states that take the most federal welfare money is also the states with the highest rate of poverty, unwed mothers, drug use, welfare, high school drop outs, abortion rates, divorce, teen pregnancy, obesity, infant deaths, low life expectancy.  They do however, have the lowest rate of education as well. 

These are not exactly high IQ traits.

Those red states have the highest black populations (Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc). This is never pointed out.

Which way to black voters tend to lean, srs question. I thought it was left.

Your article says this:

The current study showed that high intelligence does not, as one might assume, lead to radical political positions. Instead, highly gifted adults are on average just as politically diverse and moderate as the rest of the population.

Which way to black voters tend to lean, srs question. I thought it was left.

High black population does not mean high voter turn out.

Let me explain it for you. The key is the first sentence. Moderate as in, not extreme, aka far right or left. Diverse in the sense of not a monolith, there were right, left, center etc.. however they leaned left, some where right of course but that's expected. When looked at as a whole they were left leaning but showed diverse opinions. I do think its a poor summary whoever chose those words tbf.

From the actual study:
In a 2 × 2 MANOVA and subsequent ANOVAs with the four scales of the multi-dimensional questionnaire (economic libertarianism, liberalism, conservatism, socialism), no significant main or interaction effect emerged, except a significant interaction effect of giftedness and sex for conservatism. Specifically, non-gifted men showed higher conservatism scores than gifted men, whereas gifted and non-gifted women did not differ significantly. The results from supplementary Bayesian analyses were in accordance with these interpretations

Non-gifted men showed right leaning tendencies, which I can confirm from experience. Even the lunatic fringe rights don't come across dumb, they come across mentally unstable. Women didn't differ, gifted or not.

I mean this whole thread was a troll but I think this is a fact. Do I think that is all that matters? no. EQ matters and so does mental stability amongst other factors of which I have zero clue wrt political leanings.

At least you linked the actual study and not just copied the parts that fit your narrative.

They do, but because of their numbers don't win elections. They do have high enough numbers to bring down the IQ and increase in crime and welfare though. Leftists who argue that red states get more federal help and have poorer schools never point this out.

Trickle Down Economics is only for whites?

Really?  Because more whites are on welfare than blacks in those red states.  And you can't tell me the Bible Belt has less whites than blacks.

**edit - it doesn't.

AI Overview
Yes, the population in the Bible Belt area is more white than Black. While the region (spanning the Southeastern U.S.) has a significantly higher Black population than other U.S. regions, it remains majority white overall. However, specific sub-regions, often historically referred to as the "Black Belt" (due to soil color/slavery), feature high concentrations of Black residents.

    Regional Demographics: The Bible Belt, roughly covering states from Virginia to Texas, is largely white, particularly in suburban and rural areas.
    Concentrated Areas: Areas with higher black populations (often 37% or more) are concentrated in particular counties (the "Black Belt"), particularly in the Deep South.
    Religious Demographic: The region has a high density of both Black Protestants and white Evangelical Protestants.
    Regional Nuance: Certain areas within the South are less representative of this trend, such as heavily Catholic Southern Louisiana, Hispanic South Texas, and diverse metropolitan areas.

The article doesn't define "conservative views."  Your post doesn't define "conservative views."  The entire study is based on "conservative views," but you don't know what those actual "conservative views" are.  And this is from another country.  I know you are trolling as usual, but this one is particularly dumb.
