'''Intellectual dishonesty''' is lying about one's own beliefs. [[Liberals]], and those on the [[leftist|left]] generally, are more inclined to this form of [[deceit]] than conservatives{{fact}}.
'''Intellectual dishonesty''' is lying about or concealing one's own beliefs.

[[Charles Murray]] provides an example of [[liberal]] intellectual dishonesty:
:In their heart of hearts, intellectual elites, especially [[liberal]] ones, have two nasty secrets regarding [[IQ]]. First, they really believe that IQ is the be-all and end-all of human excellence and that someone with a low IQ is inferior. Second, they are already sure that the black - white IQ difference is predominantly genetic and that this is a calamity -- such a calamity indeed that it must not be spoken about, even to oneself. To raise these issues holds a mirror up to the elites' most desperately denied inner thoughts. <ref>http://www.eugenics.net/papers/mssel.html</ref>

Intellectual dishonesty often arises when incentives exist for people to advocate stances that they know to be wrong. For instance, handlers{{who}} of political candidates may encourage them to adopt positions that will be popular with the people, regardless of what their personal opinions may be.
*There is a tradition in politics that is similar to one in the legal profession: When evidence supports your position, make your argument based on the evidence, but when it argues against your position, ignore the evidence and appeal to emotion.
