I wish they would have discussed the iq and g factor influences on political affiliation and ideologies. Whether one or the other is more likely to hold certain views or if being high in them would increase the likelyhood of holding one view or the other.,(reply>), @aaa bbb ok. I am familiar with the disgust sensitivity and the true right winged individuals perpensity for organization and order. Which would lead me to believe right wing individuals are going to be more intelligent, even if its just a byproduct of a lifetime of well organized and structured thinking and learning techniques. Sure each side is going to think theyre part of the better more intelligent side just because their idea of what types of intelligences are important are different. However, what i see as objectively intelligent, which would be most likely best measured with the g factor, and i dont see a universe where left wing individuals are objectively more intelligent.<br><br>I would also like to say, there is a trope that left wing people are more artistic and creative. That may be true in some way to a slight degree, but i would say the large majority of people who are left today arent left because their creative. Theyre left because theyve decided to outsource their cognition to authority. Which i see as unintelligent in alot of cases and shows a lack of discernment. This may be a decent strategy to allow time for artistic expression and not have to spend time and energy pondering and attempting to solve issues. To me that is stupid. But eh. Who am I.,(reply>), @nwogamesalert so basically youre saying the political landscape is too volatile to get accurate information on it. 100% agree. Im just curious more on these objective  measures of intelligence because and their correlations because far too often people use things like education as a measure of their intelligence. Education being more a measure of agreeableness and perhaps in some situations their tenacity. Certainly not intelligence. Most people ive met who are objectively highly intelligent seem to be more right leaning and conservative but thats pretty anecdotal.,(reply>), There could be many reasons why very intelligent people at this point in time would choose one political party over the other. The outcome can in no way be taken as an honest expression of these people's political convictions. Say if the more intelligent would tend to vote Democrat and not Republican, that could be in order to successfully pursue a career in a given field, without being persecuted by the woke mob &amp; Co. This is only one reason, I probably could come up with more. Regarding political affiliation; I have read about studies which show that political views and perhaps culture are partly hereditary in the same way IQ is partly hereditary. I think comparisons between chimps and bonobos were part of similar studies.
