Question Mark

Statistically those with more education tend to be more left-leaning; naturally, there is no real correlation between IQ and education--someone with a 180 IQ could be born into a poor family and thus never become a Nobel-prize winning chemist. Likewise, although those with higher IQ might perform better on standardized tests, the tests are themselves not an indicator.

Bottom line, cute little statistics like this serve only to divide people based on state of origin, political leanings, or percieved intelligence (or lack thereof).
