A study conducted in Germany found that men with higher IQs are less inclined to traditional values, but the lead author, psychologist and intelligence researcher Maximilian Krolo of Saarland University, said the researchers did not find these differences among women.

    I wonder if there’s a similar study that uses executive capacity (multitasking etc.) as a more objective measure of intelligence. When I was in school, this was the most supported way to objectively measure intelligence (but of course, is that actually intelligence? Intelligence is just a word we have. Having the word doesn’t mean that the concept exists.)

      Maybe, but I think that’s still going to be a function of environment vs innate. There’s not really an objective measure when existence is subjective, and an individual’s capacity for effort is very dependent on their resources that they can consume. All sorts of effort, not just intellectual.
