Sounds like the authors live on the low end of the Kruger-Dunning spectrum.

The study assessed cognitive ability as opposition to Brexit. A 100% correlation was found.

This association of intelligence and pro-Brexit thinking is all coincidence. This is what happens when you don’t design the survey properly.

Has there been any reliable study showing whether Brexit has been good or bad for the UK?

That determination would depend upon the metrics you chose.

More freedom? Less groaning under Brussels' heel? More self-determination? Then it was good.

Fewer E.U. funds allocated for drag queen story-time? Then it was bad!

Regards,

Just like smart cars and smart water! Aren’t we glad our betters are so darned smart. It’s time to jettison smart and go back to wise. Wise infers making great decisions based on diligent reason and experience. Outcomes are better with wisdom than intellect. I literally had an employee tell me his IQ was 150… he is simply unable to live daily life without tantrums and tirades… it’s really pitiful that he thinks so highly of himself and everyone around him is just laughing at his clear inability to cope in a normal work environment.

Translation: higher IQ people were more likely to work in professions that would be adversely affected by BRexit, like the financial industry.

More to the point, they spent more time in our indoctrination centers and otherwise kowtowing to channels of government funding.

Why don’t they just come out and say that liberals are much smarter than normal people?

The Authors claimed “no specific funding for this study.” So I’m guessing they’re just paid full time by the government to be its resident academic lackeys. I do, however, believe where they erred will eventually get out and ruin their work. They used only heterosexual couples as its test subjects. When LGBTQs find out they gonna be pissed.

Wait a minute…how do you know this little factoid? Is it from studying Jerry Nadler and Brandon?

This demonstrates that cognitive ability and intelligence are not the same. In fact, they may even be inversely correlated.

More fake science. Did these elitists find the results before or after the study.

Another example of the political “malleability” of social science research! Bigger question is what is it doing on a ‘phys.org’ web site?
