Xenocosmography @xenocosmography·17 ч. Truly terrible argument.

Richard Hanania@RichardHan...•19 ч. In Sweden, twins who are smarter support more pro-market policies like privatization and are also more pro-immigration and socially liberal. presented in the first column of Table 3. In line with Morton et al. (2011), we find that cognitive ability is positively related to left-right self-placement and right-wing preferences on economic and redistribution issues. Individuals scoring high on the conscription tests have a tendency to support privatization, oppose high taxes, and contest measures to redistribute wealth. As expected, cognitive ability positively predicts pro- immigration policy opinions. The magnitude of this relationship (r = 0.28) is on par with correlations between cognitive ability and antiracism attitudes and social liberalism reported in previous studies. Deary et al. (2008a) and Schoon et al. (2010) find that the correlations between verbal and nonverbal measures of cognitive ability and indicators of antiracism and social liberalism vary between O.13 and O.26. Using three measures of cognitive ability and an overall indicator of general conservatism, Stankov (2009) reports correlation cocfficients between -0.23 and -0.40.'
