Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the the London School of Economics and Political Science correlated data on these behaviors with IQ from a large national U.S. sample and found that, on average, people who identified as liberal and atheist had higher IQs. This applied also to sexual exclusivity in men, but not in women. The findings will be published in the March 2010 issue of Social Psychology Quarterly.

said George Washington University leadership professor James Bailey, who was not involved in the study. "It also makes perfect sense that more intelligent people -- people with, sort of, more intellectual firepower -- are likely to be the ones to do that."

In the end I came ot hte conclusion that it is those with a more sceptical mind (typically liberals and atheists) that have the higher IQ.

Why is that on CNN? The correlation's been known for a while. I suppose, though, that it's better than reporting people's Twitter updates or oftentimes false celebrity "news."

And male homosexuality.

Seems to me like someone was trying to prove a point.

How large of a sample was this group? I was never asked to take an IQ test. Any other males here participate?

I have taken one, I have no idea if it went into this study at all, since it didn't explain the sample size very well.

Before you took it, did it ask you your political party, sexuality, and religious beliefs?

A bit silly, really.

i had to take an iq test as a youngin because i was asked to go to some private, high end school in northern detroit. i dont recall it well, but i apparently finished very high.
