Analysis Summary
German researchers found a correlation between higher IQ scores and less conservative political views, while people of average ability showed stronger support for traditional and hierarchical social values. The study is real and reported by credible outlets including SCMP. The headline simplifies the findings — it's a statistical association from one study, not a universal rule about intelligence and politics.
