A study conducted in Germany found that men with higher IQs are less inclined to traditional values, but the lead author, psychologist and intelligence researcher Maximilian Krolo of Saarland University, said the researchers did not find these differences among women.
Mensa is not a good selector. First off it not that high of an IQ requirement, second, they have to want to join Mensa. Real brilliant folks have little interest.
Isn’t the requirement 130? That’s decently high, no?
Definitely agree that you’re selecting for people who want to show off and take a bit too much pride in their IQ score though if you’re focusing only on MENSA members.
Yeah 130, which is 2 percentile I believe. Smartest one out of 50 people. That is not smart enough to be special, but just enough to be insufferable.
Let’s not pretend that the bright people skip MENSA to join the Federalist Society.
There’s a reason Trump switched parties to run for President, and it wasn’t because he wanted to target the best and brightest. He wanted rubes and he got them.
