Contrary to popular claims, IQ is a much better predictor than personality of academic outcomes and pay in adulthood. Controlling for age, sex, and childhood socioeconomic status does not make the results go away.
The claim that personality is more important than intelligence in predicting important life outcomes has been greatly exaggerated

Conservatives often stand accused these days of standing outside the "reality-based community." Yet liberals can be blinded by ideology, and nowhere is this more true than in the debate over women in combat.

New paper by Emil Kirkegaard and Edward Dutton once again confirms what you know from watching my videos. Leftoids and other maladaptive people are proven to be depressed but some more depressed than others. Gays aren’t as much depressed as bisexuals which is inline in my video on LGBTQ and those who are right wing are the only healthy demographic which is inline in my video on Left Wing being a type of a mental illness. Also depression among those who subscribe to vegetarianism (not veganism) is inline with my video on veganism.
