Seriously, this is my Science Fair project in which my Biology Honors class defines as mandatory for me to do. So since it's mandatory, I might as well have a bit of fun. ;)

Anyway, what questions do you recommend I ask besides the following:

1. What is your political affiliation?
2. Who did you vote for?
3. What is your education level? (high school graduate, 2 yr college graduate, etc.)

(btw, sorry but I cannot and will not accept answers online. I am forced to ask personally because I am not assured that any and all of you are U.S. citizens that voted...sorry :()

1. What is your political affiliation?
2. Who did you vote for?
3. What is your education level? (high school graduate, 2 yr college graduate, etc.)

1. Democrat, Registered
2. Kerry/Edwards
3. 2 yr college student at a 4 year university

Besides this, get specifics of sex, too, because of the differences in male and female IQ.

Ahhhhh...
I voted for Bush
I am a (nominal) Republican
I am a college Freshman at the moment, graduated high school with honors and am attending college heavily relying on an academic scholarship. (just to give a further idea, I see an awful lot of stupid people at college.)

Aren't you worried about sample bias?

Also I would reject replies from any nation with <100 posts.

I concur.

much agreed.

IQ and education level aren't the same thing, one might add, as well.

All the smart people voted for Lenin.

Might want to ask about economic standing, group affiliations (such as Masons, Mensa, etc), and possibly ethnicity. Many such things do tend to form IQ and EIQ.

hehe, freemasons, hehe

Does your sample come from a group of individuals with High IQ's? I ask because a question asking for IQ or EIQ is not listed.

Occupation and Degree earned might also lead to interesting inferences. Persons with a High IQ that are research scientists or practicing engineers/physicists may yield a different voting tendency than persons with high IQs that are philosophers/political scientists/sociologists. May want to compare science v. non-science majors, and compare those to high IQ individuals with hybrid degrees.

Sorry, but this is a bogus, politically motivated project and has nothing to do with biology and science fairs. Why don't you do a project on the IQ of people that eat hamburger? How about those that smoke? What about those that are vegetarians? Or those that drink in moderation? This is B.S. to say you have to research the IQ of people based on how they voted and is clearly nothing more than some sort of political play by someone - (to be honest, I suspect some liberal democrat, but I don't put it past some right wing republican either). As to your questions, I'm:

1) Independent
2) Michael Badnarik - Libertarian candidate
3) Ph.D.

What's the IQ of my candidate's supporters? Why aren't we in the study?

1. Independant (liberal)
2. Kerry
3. 1st year college student


And needless to say, just about any messageboard is much more liberal than the average American.

This is merely a 9th grade project, not some Stanford University research study. In any case, the project doesn't need to have anything to do with Biology, and the category of my topic does fall under what is allowed.

It is politically motivated. Is that a bad thing?

I am 14, so my conclusions would not make a difference in the world. So don't be so ticked, alright?

And I didn't add your canidate because chances are none of the people I survey would have voted such a canidate. Why should I waste more time adding a name that people aren't caring about?

Now, if at least one person tells me they voted for said canidate, then I would add his name in.

btw, PLEASE NO MORE ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS I AM SURVEYING FOR!

I need to ask people face to face, I cannot trust the internet.

All the smart people voted for Lenin.

No, All the smart people voted for Lennon

I am a tax supervisor for the county government, I've had two years of college, and I usually vote Republican (but not always). I'm not registered with any political party.

Colodia! I never thought a smart cookie like you would stoop to the depths of comparing political IQ...

Oh well. I identify as independent, I would've voted for Kerry if I was old enough, and I'm a freshman in high school. Not that you can use that for the project, but you might like to know out of curiosity.

Deopending on the latitude of your instructor here are some profile questions:
