Survey Shows Reps Smarter Than Dems
Republicans are used to thinking of Democrats as dumb. Democrats are used to thinking of Republicans as dumb. I got bored last week and decided to see if either side is right, so I took a little informal survey. Over the course of a slow half day at work, I got the political affiliations and AFQT (ASVAB score) of 18 registered voters. I used the ASVAB (Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery) as a measure of intelligence because pretty much everyone around here has taken it, and in my personal experience, scores seem to correlate pretty well with how sharp people are.
The sample included 17 Seabees and one soldier who happened to stop by my shop. I encountered 9 Republicans, 7 independents, and 2 Democrats. The average AFQT (Armed Forces Test Quotient) of the Republicans was 76. The average for independents was 72, and the average for Democrats was 56. Sample size is a potential problem here, as there were only two Democrats, and 50% could not remember their AFQT, meaning my average for Democrats was based on one subject. Discuss.
