I forget who - maybe @toad_spotted? - divided people into a bimodal distribution of abstract to concrete. I'm guessing the latter is more prone to conspiracy thinking, less prone to errors of abstraction.
What other things does believing conspiracy theories correlate most strongly with? (Other than credulity obviously.) Social status? Education? Intelligence? Rural vs urban? Liberal vs conservative? Age?

It depends on the conspiracy theory surely. Most respectable people in Silicon Valley / DC / NYC and in the mainstream news believe Trump is a Russian asset.
