New study find evidence between intelligence and left wing beliefs.
A groundbreaking study from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities suggests that higher intelligence may be linked to left-wing beliefs — and that this connection could be, at least partly, genetic.
Published in the journal Intelligence, the study examined over 200 families using IQ tests and polygenic scores (genetic indicators tied to cognitive ability). 
Even among siblings raised in the same household, those with higher intelligence were more likely to support liberal, egalitarian values and reject authoritarianism.
But here’s the twist: Intelligence isn’t destiny.
The researchers stress that political beliefs are shaped by a complex mix of genes, environment, culture, and history. 
Throughout time, brilliant minds have stood on opposite ideological sides — proving that intelligence can inspire vastly different worldviews.
Still, the study opens a fascinating debate:
Can our DNA influence not just how we think — but what we think?
