So I had to take an IQ test recently. Was being told that there is a correlation between politics and IQ. Specifically I was told that higher IQ is associated with Leftism.
That smells like woke bullshit.
Got my score, and had a little moment of smug delight because my score was surprisingly high. And it got me thinking:
I bet if everyone on this site took an IQ test and we averaged the scores, we would find that Patriots are just fucking smarter. I also bet that if you took a similar cross section of liberals and did the same, they would be significantly below average.
I just cannot believe that “let’s smash that storefront and take shit, they have insurance” and “wealth redistribution is sustainable” can possible make sense to a high functioning mind.
Rant over.
Which is good. The people I was around were talking like conservatives are all high functioning retards. Not knowing of course, that I’m so right wing I buy 2 pairs of shoes so I don’t have to wear the left ones... turns out I had the 2nd highest score. My buddy at work (also a secret conservative) had the highest and it wasn’t even close.
The point of this post is not to brag, but let’s just say that the lefties weren’t stupid, but they were comfortably average. And the known closet conservatives were all above 98th percentile. Im not sure of the politics of some others in the high range, but these days, not having a public leftist opinion pretty much is all you need to know to get an insight into someone’s politics, but I don’t want to assume.
