Are lefties actually smarter? in Psychology ·
Rebecca Hughes5 said:I’m a Leftist, and I check almost every box mentioned in the first post—except for the artistic talent part, since I couldn't draw a stick figure to save my life. 😁 Biology and chemistry are much more my speed; I guess that’s why I’m aiming for med school.

As for perception and memory, I can't really say if mine is better than anyone else's—since I have no way of knowing how other people actually process the world—but it works perfectly well for me. My IQ is High IQ, and I'm incredibly hyperactive. I've maintained a straight-A average from first grade all the way through my junior year of college. I’m also pretty successful in sports, specifically playing competitive indoor soccer.

Don't take this as bragging; I'm just pointing out that there's a high probability those stereotypes about Leftists are actually justified. 😉

Honestly, we need more people like you in this country, so just keep doing your thing. I guess I'm just worried that once you start smelling that big money $$$ you might forget you actually have a High IQ.☕

Everything is based on relatively small samples. You don't actually think any study can account for billions of conservatives, right? Even the most massive psychology studies ever conducted usually cover maybe a million people at most; most research relies on "tiny" groups. For a sample to be useful, it just needs to be representative—meaning it serves as a fair average for the target group.

How much they represent in the total population doesn't matter at all.

Just adding to your signature here🙂
better to be a little stupid than a little smart!

Basically, a tiny sample size means way less accuracy... I guess we're on the same page now!

I once had the chance to take one of those IQ tests.
You know, all those number sequences and logic puzzles...
To be honest, I didn't even understand what they were asking me to do.🤷
So, yeah—left-brained, not exactly a genius, and I think I might just be disproving the whole theory!


I mean, I just feel like a 15% sample size is way too small to actually prove liberals are smarter.

I'm sure you've got plenty of other strengths besides crushing an IQ test :P

Michelle Evans said:Based on your example, it's obvious the Mercedes-Benz isn't as high-quality. But statistics work the same way. They don't just pull numbers out of thin air like you're suggesting...
If statistics show that, say, 50% of lefties have above-average IQ compared to 45% of righties, it simply means 50 out of 100 lefties are above average, versus 45 out of 100 righties. It isn't about who has more or less in total. Right-handed people aren't some kind of hive mind hoarding all the intelligence just because there are more of them...

But if the data shows that lefties only make up like 15% of the population!!! how can you still claim they're "BETTER"? I guess I'm saying it's just because all the righties are swallowed up in that massive 85% majority!

so what I'm trying to say is that 15% of lefties isn't really a big enough sample size to conclude they're actually more intelligent!

I mean, I just think they're "weirdos" since most of them act that way anyway!🙂

Look, both sides have all sorts of people—smart ones, dumb ones, gifted folks, and those who struggle with art, sports, science, or whatever else. But with liberals, it seems like the makeup is just slightly different, and certain traits definitely show up more frequently in certain percentages. We could go on listing examples from our own lives, but that doesn't really give us a complete picture of every liberal in America. For instance, I can navigate any space I’m in without any trouble, whereas my sister often struggles to figure out where North is or which way the Mississippi flows. One time we went to a pizza parlor, sat down, ate, and when we were ready to leave, she couldn't even figure out where the front door was 😁

Maybe I should just explain my logic using cars, since that might be easier to grasp.

Let's say Mercedes-Benz makes 1,000 cars a year, and 200 of them end up back at the shop because they broke down.

Now, let's say Chevrolet produces 100,000 cars a year, and 1,000 of those wind up needing repairs.

Does that actually mean the Chevrolet is a lower quality vehicle??? (Or does it mean the other group is smarter just because their numbers look smaller???) [if you listen to what statistics claim]??? 😕

I guess angela1234 just doesn't get it, maybe they should probably look into things more before talking. kaže:
Here’s what I know about them:
I guess people just have a better sense of things now compared to how they did back in the day.
Maybe it just helps with memory, I guess.
Acting, music, painting... basically just calling it art. 😁
Maybe they're just hyperactive or something, I guess.
So, some researchers are claiming that every single leftist who took an IQ test ended up scoring above 140, I guess.

Just give me something to work with here. I guess you want me to weigh in on something, but there isn't much to go on yet.

Look, I think it's all just total nonsense. I know a handful of leftists—like ten of them, if I really sit back and think about it.

From what I've seen, those lefties you're talking about are just hyperactive, and honestly, they seem kind of clumsy and uncoordinated to me. Though, I guess a few of them are actually pretty good at sports.

I guess their spatial awareness is pretty trash, and honestly, they seem totally lost whenever they end up somewhere unfamiliar.

I guess scientists say whatever they want about IQ, but if you look at the ratio of 100 lefties to 100,000 righties, maybe righties end up having a higher IQ or being smarter just because there are way more of them numerically. 🙂
