Nice bait. Weak people make good leftists, and weak people are well distributed in every IQ class; including the >130 ones. That's what we call intellectuals, not intelligent people.
Add to this that scientists do what they do because they like it or for money, not because of a higher purpose, and you should understand that intelligence alone is nothing.
How do you deal with the fact that Richard Stallman has the political views of a shrieking pink-haired SJW?

Jokes aside Communist China and the USSR were extremely socially conservative in terms of its attitude towards drugs and homosexuality (punishment = gulag or death), revolutionary Catalonia had edicts severely limiting alcohol and cigarettes, etc.
Secondly, I was pointing out how the authors of that paper from the outset are limiting their definition of 'right wing' to a subset of the umbrella of ideologies which are widely considered 'right wing' in order for their 'research' to reach a conclusion which matches their preconceived biases. Either they did it as a composition/division logical fallacy to imply that all ideologies which can be considered 'right wing' are therefore only adopted by low IQ racists because they showed that its true for a subset of those ideologies. Or they did it as a black-or-white logical fallacy to imply that everything that isn't social conservatism and/or right-wing authoritarianism is therefore leftist. My pick is the former.
Yep, work ethic is far more important, IQ is just potential.

this is some next level intellectual dishonesty. you should be ashamed of yourself. but i understand that shame is no category in the egomanical ideological bubble.

I'm happy that my earlier links generated such lively discussion. Conservatism is also linked with psychopathy and Machiavellianism:

Abstract
This study examined correlations between moral value judgments on a 17-item Moral Intuition Survey (MIS), and participant scores on the Short-D3 “Dark Triad” Personality Inventory—a measure of three related “dark and socially destructive” personality traits: Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy. Five hundred sixty-seven participants (302 male, 257 female, 2 transgendered; median age 28) were recruited online through Amazon Mechanical Turk and Yale Experiment Month web advertisements. Different responses to MIS items were initially hypothesized to be “conservative” or “liberal” in line with traditional public divides. Our demographic data confirmed all of these hypothesized categorizations. We then tested two broad, exploratory hypotheses: (H1) the hypothesis that there would be “many” significant correlations between conservative MIS judgments and the Dark Triad, and (H2) the hypothesis that there would be no significant correlations between liberal MIS judgments and Machiavellianism or Psychopathy, but “some” significant correlations between liberal MIS judgments and Narcissism. Because our hypotheses were exploratory and we ran a large number of statistical tests (62 total), we utilized a Bonferroni Correction to set a very high threshold for significance (p = .0008). Our results broadly supported our two hypotheses. We found eleven significant correlations between conservative MIS judgments and the Dark Triad—all at significance level of p

Firstly, correlation does not imply causation. Secondly, and? were you trying to make a point or something?
You really don't seem to understand how the world works.

muh human nature. guise i know it all. i understand the world lol capitalism rox gommies suck xd

My point is that the scientific evidence indicates a clear connection beteen right-wing, conservative, racist ideology and low cognitive ability, psycopathy and Maciavellianism, as confirmed by this followup study:

Abstract
In a recent study appearing inNeuroethics, I reported observing 11 significant correlations between the “Dark Triad” personality traits – Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy – and “conservative” judgments on a 17-item Moral Intuition Survey. Surprisingly, I observed no significant correlations between the Dark Triad and “liberal” judgments. In order to determine whether these results were an artifact of the particular issues I selected, I ran a follow-up study testing the Dark Triad against conservative and liberal judgments on 15 additional moral issues. The new issues examined include illegal immigration, abortion, the teaching of “intelligent design” in public schools, the use of waterboarding and other “enhanced interrogation techniques” in the war on terrorism, laws defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman, and environmentalism. 1154 participants (680 male, 472 female; median age 29), recruited online through Amazon Mechanical Turk, completed three surveys: a 15-item Moral Intuition Survey (MIS), the 28-item Short Dark Triad personality inventory, and a five-item demographic survey. The results strongly reinforce my earlier findings. Twenty-two significant correlations were observed between “conservative” judgments and the Dark Triad (all of which were significant past a Bonferonni-corrected significance threshold of p = .0008), compared to seven significant correlations between Dark Triad and “liberal” judgments (only one of which was significant past p = .0008). This article concludes by developing a novel research proposal for determining whether the results of my two studies are “bad news” for conservatives or liberals.

Republicans freed the slaves. Democrats created the ku klux klan. Democrats are advocates for gentile mutilation. You don't need a commie professor to evaluate these facts.
