Kanazawa's analysis is based on a mass lumping of all people and probably would generate slightly different results if the different racial groups were analyzed separately. For Jews, this is probably not possible from the Add Health data because there was probably no category under ethnicity for "Jew." But the religiosity and politics of Jews was not the main focus of Kanazawa's paper (it was LuchAAA that bough up Jews) but of Americans in general, and that shows a clear negative relationship between IQ and religiosity.Though I'm willing to bet that if you looked at ethnic Jews, of all types, separately from non-Jews, you would still find a strong negative correlation between religiosity and IQ, AND a positive correlation between IQ and liberalism. |
