- The height leadership advantage in men and women: Testing evolutionary psychology predictions about the perceptions of tall leaders (2013, background): “General intelligence has been associated with leadership effectiveness in business (Kuncel & Hezlett, 2010; Müller & Turner, 2010; Ones, Viswesvaran, & Dilchert, 2004), politics (for an overview, see Simonton, 2006), and even among monarchs (Simonton, 2001).”
- The g‐factor of international cognitive ability comparisons: the homogeneity of results in PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS and IQ‐tests across nations (2007, background): “Although observations of everyday behaviour (or indirect by the use of documents and artifacts) could be transformed into quantitative data (e.g. historiometric analyses by Simonton, 2006), no such data seem presently available for countries.”
- Relevance of education and intelligence for the political development of nations: Democracy, rule of law and political liberty (2008, unknown): “Last but not least, the intelligence of people and voters on the one hand and the intelligence of leaders and their political success and moral standards in government on the other hand are correlated (Simonton, 1985, 2006a,b).”
- Are Conservatives Really More Simple-Minded than Liberals? The Domain Specificity of Complex Thinking (2016, background): “However, this interaction was also not statistically significant (p 5 .262).11 Study 4: 2004 Bush-Kerry Debates George W. Bush has often been discussed as a prototypical representative of simple-minded conservatives (e.g., Simonton, 2006).”
- Personality Foundations of Ideological Divide: A Comparison of Women Members of Parliament and Women Voters in Italy (2010, result): “Higher scores in openness among politicians than among voters would be consistent with literature attesting to the role of critical thinking, intellectual brilliance, and openness to feelings in sustaining politicians' per formance and success (Silvester & Dykes, 2007; Simonton, 2006).”
