A recent peer-reviewed study published in the journal Intelligence by researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities analyzed data from over 200 families, incorporating IQ tests and polygenic scores (genetic markers associated with intelligence).
The study found:
Individuals with higher IQs were more likely to express liberal, egalitarian, and anti-authoritarian views — even among siblings raised in the same environment.
Genetic factors related to intelligence may partly influence these political leanings.
However, the researchers caution that political ideology is complex and also shaped heavily by culture, upbringing, education, and life experiences.
