advice : WHO SEEMS TO BE DUMBER, CONSERVATIVES OR LIBERALS ? [+] joke ballot by thesoothsayer ACTIVE Mon Sep 17, 07 - Tue Sep 16, 08 Okay, okay, I know this question will probably be answered by those who choose to respond based on how they identify themselves...but there was an article posted on Slate that drew a conclusion based on a test that subjested one group might be smarter than the other...so I thought why not put it to balloteers and see how they feel about it...(excerpts from Slate:) according to a study published this week in Nature Neuroscience. In a rapid response test—you press a button if you're given one signal, but not if you're given a different signal—the authors found that conservatives were "more likely to make errors of commission," whereas "stronger liberalism was correlated with greater accuracy." They concluded that "a more conservative orientation is related to greater persistence in a habitual response pattern, despite signals that this response pattern should change." Does this mean liberal brains are fitter? Apparently. "Liberals are more responsive to informational complexity, ambiguity and novelty," the authors wrote. New York University, which helped fund the study, concluded, "Liberals are more likely than are conservatives to respond to cues signaling the need to change habitual responses." The study's lead author, NYU professor David Amodio, told London's Daily Telegraph that "liberals tended to be more sensitive and responsive to information that might conflict with their habitual way of thinking." (to read the entire article, go to Slate and search liberal interpretation....)
