This guy says he has de-bunked the studies that show correlation between low IQ

[Warpy]

10. Yes, he's doing quite a tapdance there

and trying to equate a basic scholastic achievement test with an IQ test when they do completely different things. He's apples to oranges all through his article and proves the opposite of what he's trying to, using himself as a shining example.

His complaint about the red herring questions in the test is also misguided. Such questions are always put into any sort of social science survey so that the people being tested won't know what the test is really about and tailor their answers to who they want to be seen as instead of who they are.

I find more of a correlation of lower overall intelligence with social conservatives than with economic conservatives. The latter can be incredibly bright even as they are greed driven and are usually the ones herding the duller social conservatives around to increase their overall numbers during election season.

Mr. Briggs might do well to take a year or so off from writing critiques to learn about the subjects he's trying to critique.
