  I wonder how the same study would fare when fixed against other characteristics, such as, oh, national origin or ethnicity.

    The study does that, finding conservative views correlate better with GDP per capita, for instance.

  To give that plain link a bit of context, the abstract is: > Conservatism and cognitive ability are negatively correlated. The evidence is based on 1254 community college students and 1600 foreign students seeking entry to United States' universities. At the individual level of analysis, conservatism scores correlate negatively with SAT, Vocabulary, and Analogy test scores. At the national level of analysis, conservatism scores correlate negatively with measures of education (e.g., gross enrollment at primary, secondary, and tertiary levels) and performance on mathematics and reading assessments from the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) project. They also correlate with components of the Failed States Index and several other measures of economic and political development of nations. Conservatism scores have higher correlations with economic and political measures than estimated IQ scores.

  I am sorry, but if you believe that IQ сorrelates with intelligence you are a сonservative. Oh, and any evidence of lower IQ is aсtually evidence of disсrimination.
