| GameOver22 said: Do you have the wrong study? I mean the article is interesting, but its not discussing anything you typed. Its looking at individuals within the US....not different countries. "The current study sought to address each of these limitations.We utilized a large sample of mature US adults contacted by the MacArthur Foundation Survey of Midlife Development in the United States." Edit: I'll also say that it would be interesting to see how their models perform if they controlled for fundamentalism in the other models (excluding the fundamentalists model). I would think that non-fundamentalist would be significantly different from other followers in terms of intelligence. I mean....when you just look at the fundamentalist model, there's a significantly negative correlation between both IQ and education....a trait none of the other models exhibit when both variables are included in the model. I'm pretty sure its been discussed to death too, but I have serious reservations about using IQ as a proxy for intelligence. |
Weird. I guess I copied the wrong link. Source: http://www.slideshare.net/RatioExMachina/the-correlation-between-intelligence-and-belief
The quotation provided in my previous post was from the proper source but the link was not. I apologize for that. =)
I agree that non-fundamentalists would have different IQs, I would assume higher IQs from fundamentalists. Or do you mean non-fundamentalists per belief?
You're welcome to your reservations, but it's a tried and true process that is adapted to reflect advances in education to control an accurate average and measure. I mean, do you have examples where IQ has proven entirely inaccurate or what? I guess I just don't understand why you have your reservation. I'd love to hear more if you want?
