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.

I don't think it's anything to actually be concerned about. IQ is a dated format of "mental superiority", that has more cultural basis than universal basis. It's not really reliant on how smart a person is, mainly how well they can memorize formulas. IQ doesn't take into a account many other factors about an individuals life.

I'm not sure if there's a correlation there, Nick.

uh Nick, I like to be the one who points this out, but it's spelled capital.


Wait, no, I loved pointing that out.

don't worry, Nick, IQ isn't linked to message board grammar.
