"Two important caveats should be attached to my
conclusions. First, a 10-word vocabulary test is at best an
imperfect measure of verbal intelligence, let alone general
intelligence. Indeed, there is already evidence that the
correlation between intelligence and political beliefs varies
with the sub-dimension of intelligence under scrutiny.
Specifically, Kemmelmeier (2008) found that although
libertarian social attitudes were positively related to verbal
SAT scores, they were unrelated to math SAT scores. Second,
most of the effects I observe are small by conventional
standards, especially the differences in verbal intelligence
between Republicans and Democrats. According to convention,
a standardized difference of 0.20 constitutes a small
effect size; by contrast, a standardized difference of 0.50 is
considered moderate, while a standardized difference of 0.80
or greater is considered large (Cohen, 1988, pp. 24–8)."
It's an interesting paper

So, Your saying the data set, the testing method, and importance of this document. are all thrown out by the caveats....

Who has knowledge on the Optimates and Populares?
So are the Democrats optimate or populare? Or is it the other way around?
you're right - the cited study isn't 100% effective but it is worth mentioning. I'm not sure if all of you have access to the original study because I had to go through my university account
come to talk room 2 and we can find out together
Democrats were the populares
@AHeroQuest are u talking about the previous topic?
. . . yes? I can send you the actual study so you can see all of the details, if you want.
any Sargon fans?
he just started a live stream for Fallout 76 beta
Never seen him play any games so it was a bit of a shock to see it come up
ewm 76
He plays video games. Used to sit around for hours taming dinosaurs in ARK.
i'd like to think that fallout 76 will be such a failure that bethesda will learn from it and start making RPGs again, but they're probably aiming for the fortnite audience, thus it might end up being a success anyway.
i literally have no idea who this was aimed at
he plays livestreamed D&D with his circle
well i lied, it was aimed at the ESO like people
the only people i know who are excited for it are my 10 & 12 year old nephews
too bad Oblivion is a vastly different company than the one who made NV and bethesda is unlike to let other studies touch their stuff.
Other than fallout 3, bethasda hasn't made a decent game since morrowind
I think you meant Obsidian
Oblivion was TESIV
yes Obsidian
well, yeah because that's not even america
they would forego it in any country where they are present, outside the US
it makes even less sense to have a US politics inspired ice cream flavor in another country
