Do you read live science much? The really do have some of the most absurd articles. I think I posted one about the negative health implications of pooping while seated.

I guess I have to ask. What do you mean by social conservative. I live a very socially conservative life. I believe in socially conservative values, ethics and morality. I don't believe in me, or anyone else, forcing my lifestyle on anyone else. I think everyone should be free to live life their own way. Even if I think they are wrong.

Does that make me socially conservative or socially liberal?

That would make you the opposite of a liberal.

Moderately socially conservative, IMO. I define extreme as those that force their values or beliefs onto others.

From the study author:

For example, Nosek said, a study of left-wing liberals with stereotypically naïve views like "every kid is a genius in his or her own way," might find that people who hold these attitudes are also less bright. In other words, it might not be a particular ideology that is linked to stupidity, but extremist views in general.

"My speculation is that it's not as simple as their model presents it," Nosek said. "I think that lower cognitive capacity can lead to multiple simple ways to represent the world, and one of those can be embodied in a right-wing ideology where 'People I don't know are threats' and 'The world is a dangerous place'. ... Another simple way would be to just assume everybody is wonderful."

Well, you definitely have the intellect of a conservative.
