In a previous post I estimated the average IQ of black Republicans to be only 78. Why such a low number? Because blackness and conservatism both are negatively correlated with IQ, yet because both are negatively correlated with one another, someone unlikely enough to be both should have an especially low IQ.
How accurate was my estimate? Audacious Epigone (whose blog made the HBD 23) writes the following:
Converting Wordsum results into IQ scores with a standard deviation of 15 and on the presumption that the white mean is equivalent to a 100 yields 87.8 for black Republicans and 92.5 for black Democrats.
Now in a previous post I estimated that voters have Wordsum IQs 3 points higher than non-voters. While the blacks in this sample are not necessarily voters, they at least knew enough to say whether they were Republicans or Democrats, but if the sample were expanded to included all the black Republicans and black Democrats who don’t know they’re Republicans or Democrats, the average IQ of both parties would drop by 3 points, giving black Republicans a mean IQ of 84.8 and black Democrats a mean IQ of 89.5.
Now, one study claimed Wordsum correlates 0.71 with IQ. Although, 0.71 is a very high correlation for such a short test, it also implies Wordsum has a lot of inaccuracy which tends to minimize IQ differences. So if black Democrats have IQs 11.5 below the white mean of 100 on Wordsum, they’d likely have an IQ closer to 10.5/0.71 = 14.8 points below 100 on a full IQ test (i.e. 85). Similarly, if black Republicans have IQs 15.2 points lower than 100 on Wordsum, they should be 15.2/0.71 = 21.4 below 100 on a full IQ test (i.e. 79).
So it seems I was correct to conclude that black Republicans have an average IQ in the very high 70s (much lower than the national black average). A couple commenters suggested that black Republicans might have higher IQs than black Democrats. The thinking was that even though conservatism is a sign of low IQ in whites, it’s a sign of high IQ in blacks. While this was a plausible theory, it turns out to be wrong. The lesson is never propose a complex theory when a simple one will do. If conservatism is a sign of low IQ in whites, the default assumption is that it’s a sign of low IQ in blacks. Occam’s razor works!
First, to analyse correlations among THE smartest blacks you need analyse them and not by enphasizing political affiliation. Will be by this enphasis in scholastic intelligence who you will can find real and precise correlations, as already was made for whites. Greater majority of SCHOLASTIC smarter whites ( aka, scientists) are socially liberals or pro-liberal socialism,
Second, afro-murricans is a very fluid identity, i really don’t know what it mean. One of the most important figures of black civil rights was a complete nordic-looking man. Would be interesting separate the subgroups of blacks by color skin and phenotype levels and also by personality,
Third, blacks on average OR as demographic collectivity are in different evolution levels with possible different evolutionary demands caused by bio-culture co-evo if compared with whites.
This differences cannot be very strong among similar groups like italians and british but is likely to be for subsaharian african’s,
You need analyse what is advantageous in social, economic or just survive terms for him. The average blacks in América diáspora seems very aware on average about racial differences but it is caused by their higher instinctive intelligence ( or we ”have” the same trait, ;-)). Therefore, many them are hypocrite about it but they know intuitively,
My tip is that there are more liberal blacks, include the real-liberal believer because most of the smartest blacks, specially the pure ones, have higher verbal iq than math iq, because verbal intelligence evolved first than math. And also because SEEMS there are more super smart women blacks or with more statistical equality with black men. Homossexual blacks seems smarter than heterossexual blacks caused lower testosterone levels or impaired reproductive instincts. This will be the average smart blacks. By logic, blacks who understand and engage in hbd ideology will be the ultimate smarter because accept ”own” defects or at least, of their group is a sign of behavioural maturity ”and” rationality.
Simple theories or better sintetized theories is when you summarize the complexity and not avoid it.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Smartest whites think and engage in abstractions to build things of to create new theories, stories…
Smartest blacks on average think in evolutive terms, like us, instinctive ones, to -do- too.
Remember, smartest ones ”evolved” to help the group, less liberal whites.
Help groups is a literal action while help a cause or future culture is a abstract action.
And remember hbd chick theory. Different reproductive patterns produce different evolutionary demands.
