    From the article: economic conservatism is associated with higher cognitive ability, whereas social conservatism, of the authoritarian kind, is associated with lower cognitive ability. It doesn’t say if left wing authoritarianism is associated with lower cognitive ability as well, or not, but the correlation doesn’t exist for social conservatives either, as long as they aren’t authoritarian. I guess that means libertarians.
