LIBERTARIAN IQ VS AUTHORITARIAN IQ
(With Actual Sources)
1. Libertarians score highest on cognitive tests
Source: Iyer, R., Koleva, S., Graham, J., Ditto, P., & Haidt, J. (2012).
“Understanding Libertarian Morality.” PLoS ONE.
- Libertarians scored highest on the Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT)
- CRT correlates strongly with IQ (r ≈ 0.45–0.70)
- Their average CRT score ≈ 2.59/3 → estimated IQ range ≈ 120–130
2. High cognitive ability correlates with libertarian / economically-right views
Source: Carl, N., Cofnas, N., & Woodley of Menie, M. A. (2022).
“Cognitive ability and political beliefs: New evidence and a meta-analysis.”
Personality and Individual Differences.
- Higher cognitive ability → more economically conservative/libertarian
- Lower cognitive ability → more authoritarian
3. Authoritarianism is linked to lower IQ on both left and right
Sources:
- Heaven, P. C. L., & Ciarrochi, J. (2012). “Personality and authoritarianism.”
- Onraet, E., Van Hiel, A., & Dhont, K. (2013). “The relationship between authoritarianism and cognitive ability.”
Findings:
- Authoritarianism predicts lower cognitive ability
- Average authoritarian IQ range ≈ 95–105
4. Consistent cross-study pattern
Summary of meta-analyses:
- High IQ → low authoritarianism
- High IQ → higher analytic/cognitive reflection → libertarian tendencies
- Low IQ → high obedience, conformity, authoritarian attitudes
5. Final numeric ranges (evidence-based estimates)
- Libertarian IQ: ≈ 120–130 (highest of all political tribes)
- Moderates/liberals: ≈ 105–115
- Authoritarians (left or right): ≈ 95–105
also left wing is inherently authoritarian
anarcho communism is just fancy communism
