    Libertarians are the most analytical thinkers in the American political spectrum, replicating a research result by Jonathan Haidt. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Gordon_Pennycook/publication/322862039_Cognitive_Reflection_and_the_2016_US_Presidential_Election/links/5a733a2f458515512077ad0a/Cognitive-Reflection-and-the-2016-US-Presidential-Election.pdf …pic.twitter.com/wSsub1JVkd

        @ignaziano @Vermeullarmine Interesting hypothesis. What we know: Libertarians were the most likely to use an adultery dating website https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/1017403089890902016 … & experienced the least disgust https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/1008680508849573888 … Also, they scored the lowest across John Haidt's moral foundations.

        Sensitivity to sexual disgust was associated with increased odds of voting for Donald Trump and affiliating with the Republican Party, while Libertarians were the least likely to experience any form of disgust. http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1474704918764170 … pic.twitter.com/zRNqcmwh61

        It’s not clear to me whether the authors are keeping liberalism distinct from libertarianism in this article.

        The classification for 'libertarianism' here is not self-identified 'libertarians' but rather +- 1,000 people who indicated they're 'liberal' on social issues but 'conservative' on economic issues. Not a good description of libertarian ideology, which is about minimal governance.

        I haven't had a chance to read it yet but I wonder about how they define the categories. What do they mean by "classic liberal"? it is surprising "Social-democrat" does not get a category. I also wonder whether the findings can be generalized to other countries.

        The ideology attracts plenty of autists, so it’s not too surprising.

        Take that "analytic" label with a grain of salt. It's measured by the Cognitive Reflection Test which correlates moderately with measures of intelligence but most highly with various measures of mental heuristics per @maggie_toplak http://keithstanovich.com/Site/Research_on_Reasoning_files/MC_2011.pdf …

        ...which gives them massive blind spots about deeper rationality that doesn't seem so on the surface. And the least ability to contend with it.
