Right Wingers are Simple Minded

The actual study cited is inaccessible, but the op ed linked tends to indicate that the "researchers" were biased in their line of questioning. They also used what amounted to trick questions, while expecting participants to use intuitive thinking.

Finally, participants were given a series of questions known as the CRT, in which an “intuitive but wrong answer … come quickly to mind.” For example: “A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat cost $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?” Most respondents answer $0.10, although basic arithmetic shows it must be $0.05 ($0.05 + $1.05 = $1.10). The CRT can be used as a fairly reliable measure of one’s willingness to “reflect on an intuitively appealing answer, which is a core element of analytic (as opposed to intuitive) thinking.”

In the Need for Cognition (NfC) portion, the researchers made assumptions about Right-wing values and were probably wrong on those.

In a study I did with Jesse Graham and Brian Nosek, we tested how well liberals and conservatives could understand each other. We asked more than two thousand American visitors to fill out the Moral Foundations Qyestionnaire. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out normally, answering as themselves. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out as they think a “typical liberal” would respond. One-third of the time they were asked to fill it out as a “typical conservative” would respond. This design allowed us to examine the stereotypes that each side held about the other. More important, it allowed us to assess how accurate they were by comparing people’s expectations about “typical” partisans to the actual responses from partisans on the left and the right)’ Who was best able to pretend to be the other?

The results were clear and consistent. Moderates and conservatives were most accurate in their predictions, whether they were pretending to be liberals or conservatives. Liberals were the least accurate, especially those who described themselves as “very liberal.”

As but one example of many. So, having Progressive researchers developing the questions to ask Conservatives likely will lead to erroneous data.

Another worthless study by quacks.

But you can't figure out if someone with a vagina is a woman or a man. I am amazed at how people like you can wipe their asses and not cause themselves more brain damage. It's a miracle.

you arent smart enough to get that you just made my point for me. Bringing vaginas into it just means you have pus for a brain.
 
It’s obvious they don’t think everything through

They deny evidence to retain their failed ideas

Their brains cant compute all the factors


So many factors they just refuse to take in

Republitards are not as stupid as they look! Well OK, there are quite a lot that are pretty stupid looking!

But no! They know they are wrong about many things- THEY JUST DON'T GIVE A FUCK!

Progressives are far stupider than they look, at least sometimes. Other times it's hard to believe anyone could be that stupid.

So what?

You enjoy anything that makes right wing people look bad.

That is because you come across as emotionally disturbed on this forum.
I would not be proud of that were I you.

Have a nice day.

The operative sentence here is "how people like you can wipe their asses".

Too many intelligent conservative authors and columnists to generalize all of the right is "simple minded," and all nearly all of those intelligent conservative authors and columnists have no time for Trump, so it further proves the right isn't entirely "simple minded"
