Correct. The higher IQs were among “liberals” defined as those who showed more private concern for non-genetically related individuals. This definition is a complete redefinition of liberal. It would also suggest that the researcher’s own ethnicd group, the Japanese would have lower IQs than liberals so defined.
Th entire “study” is palpably absurd..
You make another good point.
I prefer to use Left instead of “liberal” since the latter misrepresents the repressive nature of Commies. Conservatives are more liberal regarding freedom and gun rights than the Left.
Furthermore, IQ tests are often not pure as one can better prepare to attain higher score. IQ test results are affected by education and experience. For example, test a scientist using an obscure language.
