    IQ: bullshit

    Low cognitive ability: not bullshit, evidently. BTW, this was determined entirely by a 10-question, multiple choice vocabulary quiz.

      Someone doesn’t know how science is actually done. It’s a series of surveys over 35 years using sample sizes between 1,500 people and 18,693 individuals, from the limited methodology publications I read through in the last 15 minutes. That’s far more than is required to be considered trustworthy, reliable, and accurate as long as their other methods were sound, which they appear to be.

      The study uses binary and ordinal logistic regression models that appear to be highly reliable with large sample sizes, and their accuracy appear reliable based on the study meeting standard core statistical assumptions and they seem to avoid rare-outcome traps.

      This is a sound study, and you should probably look into statistical modeling in producing such studies before using language you’ve likely read in comments sections that like to dismiss studies because they don’t like the results or findings for political or personal reasons.

      Their methodology:

        Your word salad didn’t explain how a 10-question vocabulary quiz is not problematic for assessing intelligence but an IQ test is.

        You’ll notice that I didn’t take umbrage with the sample size.

          Maybe discussing science papers isn’t for you, if you can’t understand basic methodology language and practices.

            Yep, figures. You don’t know enough to defend the study, but you like the conclusion so attack any criticism.

      “smart people don’t like me” “I love the poorly educated”

      This post is just ONE MORE piece of evidence that shows you are stupid if you vote conservative and arent a member of the 1%.

      You morons failed the intelligence test the first time you voted Republican. Ever since Jan 6th, we have watched you and your party CONSTANTLY fail moral tests to reach a point where you guys defend treason and pedophilia now.

      So, not only do we have proof that you are stupid. We also know that you are cruel and love to watch those who don’t look like you suffer.

      You are all despicable and destroyed the country

        They’ve broken the social contract, no succor of its protections for them anymore. End up destitute and homeless? Good, stay that way for the rest of your life. Maybe then conservatives will realize what hell this country is after it affects them directly.

          The Rubicon has been crossed.

          Anyone defending any attacks against them has chosen their side and they were questioning the validity of the claim. So yes.

          If that was not their intention, then the comment wouldnt be for them

          Gotta admit, didn’t do my due diligence before posting.

          I checked the article again, and I still couldn’t find a proper explanation on how the study was carried out. I guess I would need to dig deeper.
