British Study: Liberals smarter than Conservatives

Advertisements [?]

several articles on the Internet, for instance

The London School of Economics and Political Science conducted IQ-tests and correlated them with the self-ascribed beliefs of the person, ranging from "very religious" to "atheistic" and from "very conservative" to "very liberal".

On average, liberals and atheists are smarter.

Experts argue, that these results should not be used to judge individual people, but rather regarded as a global factor in the development of ideologies.
