The study's lead author, Dr. Gordon Hodson, told LiveScience that people with lower intelligence scores are attracted to the "structure and order" of these ideologies because they make it easier to comprehend a complicated world. "Reality is complicated and messy," Dr. Brian Nosek of the University of Virginia, who was not involved in the study, told The Huffington Post. "Ideologies get rid of the messiness and impose a simpler solution. So, it may not be surprising that people with less cognitive capacity will be attracted to simplifying ideologies."

The Politician

1. I want power.
2. If I convince the people to give me more money and power, I will have more money and power to do stuff I want to do.
3. OK.

The People

1. Other people have more money than I do.
2. That politician promises if I give him more power he will get some of their money and give it to me.
3. OK.
