A study conducted in Germany found that men with higher IQs are less inclined to traditional values, but the lead author, psychologist and intelligence researcher Maximilian Krolo of Saarland University, said the researchers did not find these differences among women.

    In before everyone trashes IQ for being racist and pointless.

    And I’m not saying it isn’t ethnocentric and a bit arbitrary. But walk around a Mensa meeting and you’ll see things in common.

    Mostly that everyone is really socially inept if not outright problematic.

    But 90% liberal, yeah.

      Mensa is not a good selector. First off it not that high of an IQ requirement, second, they have to want to join Mensa. Real brilliant folks have little interest.

        Let’s not pretend that the bright people skip MENSA to join the Federalist Society.

        There’s a reason Trump switched parties to run for President, and it wasn’t because he wanted to target the best and brightest. He wanted rubes and he got them.
