Tempting to take jab at enemies of free speech as being idiots - while that prob largely holds true irrespective, seems likely there's substantial correlation w/ higher trait openness - AFAIK that's strongly correlated w/ IQ, entirely logical would apply to free speech too
Yep, I expect that both IQ and Openness predict support for free speech, and Openness might be the even stronger predictor.
