IQ vs Election Results
LeedsFan:
Let me give you an example of how biased the BBC are..... take a look at this thread from their official website.
And a point of note.... you can't post on this site like you do here. Any posts have to be "vetted" first. Wankers!!!

The minimum IQ thing is a bad idea. I also think that the data is suspect (since I've seen it pop up on several sites but have yet to see any reference to where/how it was obtained). However, I do believe that people should have to answer a few simple questions about government (# of senators per state, # of branches of government, names of a few supreme court justices, etc..). This would keep anyone who has no clue about government from adding to the ignorance level of those casting a vote for democracy.

IQ tests only measure your ability to take an IQ test. There really is no way to quantify "intelligence" , it is like trying to quantify "beauty" or "art".
It doesn't matter how smart you are, if I give you an IQ test written in a language that you cannot read, then you will score very low. The test can only measure how well you can take it.
