I've always said the cumulative IQ at FR is about 30 points above DU.

However, games like these show who has more free time...the Dems lead.

I was able to reach a score of 96 on the second try. A few smart Freepers can swing the results. Speed is very important. Read the instructions carefully. It's like a video game.

Your prescience astounds me at times.

I probably won't pass the test. I concede. I'm only a Phi Beta Kappa who graduated from Johns Hopkins University Summa Cum Laude. Now, I feel ashamed that I'm being compared to the dimwits at the Democrat Underground.

The Democrat party consists of two groups: an elite core of well-educated, very intelligent upper and upper middle class people with advanced degrees and plenty of money. These are the ones who listen to NPR. Then there's the rest of the party, which is an immense zombie army of people who aren't nearly as swift. These are the ones who watch Jerry Springer. Republicans tend to fall in the zone between these two extremes. I think a typical Republican would be someone with a bachelor's degree.

I think that the Left's bad ideas don't come from a lack of intelligence but instead from a lack of wisdom. The Left is like some genius inventor who keeps developing these wonderfully clever perpetual motion machines that are absolutely doomed to fail. The Left simply refuses to acknowledge the subtle paradoxes that are so much a part of reality as it actually exists. Things like: lower taxes create higher tax revenues, liberated people do better for themselves than nannied people, the spontaneous order of a free market creates outcomes superior to one run by enlightened central planners, etc.

Basically it boils down to "if you love it, set it free". The libs refuse to get that. They'd rather control things. But reality is far more complex and far more subtle than they are, and so it winds up making a fool out of them when they try.

In other words, the libs need to read more Hayek.

I see you must identify yourself as R or D before the test begins.

Experience leads me to suspect that you may get a different test depending upon your party declaration, and which way the authors want to skew the results... which we can all guess... wouldn't that be par for the course?

Has anyone here taken the test both ways for a comparison?
