@HatkeshiatorTND@annihilation.social @phnt@fluffytail.org @protos@tsundere.love @r000t@ligma.pro Statistical reliability in test results does not mean the test is indicative of someone's ability in making political decisions.

Reliability is not validity.

@SuperDicq @r000t @phnt @protos you've lost me.
hypothetically, assume height correlated with lower propensity to violence, higher expected lifespan, higher expected net worth, higher performance in virtually all tasks, etc. etc. why wouldn't a rational person choose a taller candidate for any given role, ceteris paribus?

@HatkeshiatorTND@annihilation.social @r000t@ligma.pro @phnt@fluffytail.org @protos@tsundere.love IQ only measure academic intelligence, not necessarily social intelligence, creative or other aspects of intelligence that are much more important when making political decisions.

If you want validity you need to do a study where you can prove that limiting the right to vote to only people with a minimum IQ will actually result in a higher level overall life satisfaction across the whole population.

My personal hypotheses is that this will likely result in the higher intelligence people using the lower intelligence people as slaves because that's what always happens when you have a group of people with zero political power.
