Liberals vs. Conservatives

Are we smarter?

You be the judge: read this article which reports on a brain study that suggests that liberals deal with complex situations with more brain power.

An example provided by the study: Most people go to work the same way every day. Sometimes, though, you might encounter road work or an accident. Liberals are more likely to start firing neurons and find an alternate route; on the other hand, conservatives are more likely to stick to the same way they always go (firing fewer neurons to work through the problem).

I knew it! ;-)
