What do IQ tests determine?

"Democrats have the lowest IQ of the 3 parties"- Phillips Blogs?

  • Now this question was deleted before but Ill keep asking it. Here is the data Here is the data on education which is highly correlated with IQ: Not HS Grad College Grad & Post-grad % of Democrats 32% 15% % of Independents 22% 18% % of Republicans 19% 23% Here is the data on people who earn incomes over $75,000 which is also highly correlated to IQ: Income under $75,000 over $75,000 % of Democrats 74% 26% % of Independents 72% 28% % of Republicans 57% 43% hose are the facts. Many studies have been done on non-voters level of income and education; non-voters match independents exactly. To recapitulate: The Republican average IQ is higher than non-voters and independents and all three are higher than the Democratic average IQ. I was reluctant to publish this data because I couldn't figure out a way to substantiate it by survey research since it is well nigh impossible to test adults for IQ. I figured out how to do it. Proposed IQ/political affiliation test: take a fairly stable city (low population turnover) with a representative population, such as Fresno, California. Go back to the Elementary Schools IQ tests of the early 1980s and then track down the students and look at their current party registration. The whole project could be done without any one person knowing the actual connection of the IQs and the final party affiliation. One person keeps the key to the school data secret but passes on the names and addresses to the person who leads a team to find the people and determine their party registration. A final person puts the names into categories without identifying the categories and gives the material to the first person to match the original IQ data with the categories without ever revealing the secret name/IQ data. Such a survey could cost upwards of several hundred thousand dollars, but it can be done and I am sure it will substantiate my claim in this blog that Republicans are the political cohort that has the highest average IQ. So what say you? Did you think this was surprising or not?

  • Answer:

    The question was deleted by you because you realized it was unintelligible. Unfortunately, it's STILL unintelligible. Look at your first data set: four education levels, but only two sets of percentages. Either you left something out intentionally, or you're the one with difficulties in the IQ area.

All that really states is that there is no correlation between IQ and a college education.

No, the question was deleted by you because you managed to spell 'parties' as 'partys', which was rather ironic given the nature of your question. Unfortunately, the average IQ in the USA is 98, which is below the mean average of 100, and considerably below that of most developed nations. It's official, Americans ARE stupid.

You pesky conservatives and your judgmental facts. Get ready for the mongoloids to fire back with emotion. Anyone know how accurate online IQ tests are? I can't be a 160... I'm a stupid conservative.

Nonsense. But we do know that Republicans vote for the stupidest candidates: Bush, Palin, etc.

You're not qualified to speak on intelligence. In a recent question, you said that Bush voted against freedom of choice while in Congress (he was never in Congress), that he killed millions of terrorists in Iraq who were responsible for 9/11 (Iraq was not behind 9/11, Al Qaeda was), and that we should all feel safer now that Saddam's "Wepons of Multiple Destruction" (that didn't exist) have been eliminated. Additionally, you're a Christian fundamentalist, which further calls into question your ability to think rationally.

What is the morality rate of the republicans? Not so good.

Or, you could look at the blue state red state map and see that Republicans are land owners with money and Dems are mostly east coast big city and west coast big city, You could probably come up with the same outcome.

People vote based on their self interest and you data show that majority of rich people feel the Republicans have policies that favor them. It is naive to think people ignore their self interest when they walk into a voting booth because they have a high IQ and a deep understanding of the political issues or that anyone really cares about the IQ of voters.

Chris, Your assertions are confusing, so I went to the BLOG you suggested and then I went to the link in the BLOG where the BLOG's author said he got his info. To say the least your BLOGGER sort of cooked the books. You should check the link yourself to verify if the way the BLOGGER presented the information is reliable. After you do that you may want to take down your question and save yourself further embarrassment.
