I think this was a given however, it is nice to see it documented and backed by data. I assume this is why 'predatory' (by my definition) advertising for useless tech products such as Carbonite does so well on conservative talk radio. Conservative talk shows like Limbaugh have well documented racism and prejudice which have all been linked to a Low IQ.[1]
Interesting.

- anonymoushn 15y agoI am a bit put off by the totally incomplete discussion of the methodology in the paper. A majority of what is actually being measured is not stated. It is difficult to do anything useful with the result when someone says to you "I found that the responses to some questions were correlated with some other data, but I will not tell you what the questions were."
- uncoder0 15y agoGood point. I have not read the paper in its entirety. I think all of these variables are very hard to control for which is why I take all studies like this with a grain of salt, especially if I don't read the entire text.
