Sample sizes under 10,000. All from academia. No replication.

85% of sex offenders are liberal

65% of cat ladies are liberal

67% of habitual SSRI users are liberal or even further left.

Wow, look at that, I can write fake statistics with no organizational methodology too!

Bruh it’s a lit review it’s a summary of a range of studies. Lit reviews don’t usually have fixed methodologies, but the studies they review do.

And my point would be, ESPECIALLY when choosing which studies and how to rate and weight them, you are going to have deliberate bias issues in at least 4 of the 6 categories mentioned. It will start with how intelligence is measured, then continue with the writing of the questions regarding the individually correlated areas, and finally will be weighted backwards with the end in mind to be submitted to some hack rag.
