Laut einer neuen Studie legen intelligente Menschen tendenziell Wert auf Selbstbestimmung und Wohlwollen, während sie weniger Wert auf Sicherheit, Tradition und Konformität legen. Persönliche Werte waren stärker mit Intelligenz als mit Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen verbunden.

I’ve linked to the news release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

From the linked article:

Intelligent individuals tend to value self-directedness and benevolence, study finds

A study of over 15,000 Australian adults found that individuals with higher intelligence were more likely to endorse self-direction, benevolence, and universalism values, and less likely to value security, tradition, and conformity. Personal values were more strongly associated with intelligence than with personality traits. The research was published in Social Psychological and Personality Science.

The results revealed that individuals with higher general intelligence tended to place greater emphasis on self-direction, benevolence, and universalism values. Conversely, they were less likely to endorse conservation values, such as security, tradition, and conformity. Somewhat contrary to the authors’ expectations, these associations were entirely due to the crystallized intelligence component of general intelligence. Fluid intelligence was only linked to security and tradition, with individuals of lower fluid intelligence more strongly endorsing these values.

I get this because (at least in my experience) “intelligent” people tend to lose any wisdom to use it and start getting cocky and acting like they could never be robbed or something.
