Study Links Lower Cognitive Ability to Particular Political Ideology
Original: You’ll Never Guess Which Political Ideology People With Low Cognitive Ability Are Drawn Toward, According to New Researc

Findings of this kind typically spark heated debate about methodology, political bias in psychology research, and whether intelligence measures can meaningfully predict political beliefs at all.
Why now: Studies linking intelligence to political ideology reliably provoke argument about bias and methodology, making them highly shareable.
