The fact is, it's impossible to ascertain anything valuable about "intelligence" as long as you don't really know what it is.
Furthermore, why even compare conservatives with liberals? To do so assumes that they are discrete cohorts with differences in how their brains work. I can think of no better way to promote a polarized political debate than to say "conservatives are from mars and liberals are from venus." It's a bit silly.

I was going to say the same things about IQ tests and trying to define intelligence.
I still would like to see the questionnaire they used. If they could get a better sample and a better measure of where a person is on the political spectrum, they could have a really interesting, although maybe dangerous study.
Are you saying you're silly?
