'''Liberal intelligence''' is the extremely limited set of criteria which liberals use to define "intelligence."  In so doing, they ignore the reality shown by modern psychological research: intelligence is a multi-faceted phenomenon which is not easily measured, and the assessment tools which liberals prize so highly are severely flawed.

Liberals frequently attempt to equate [[liberalism]] with intelligence, citing studies which show a correlation between liberalism and I.Q.  This connection is observed even by liberal professors; George Washington University professor James Bailey acknowledged the link between elitism and liberalism, saying that liberalism and atheism may be embraced by some as an attempt "...to communicate to everyone that you're pretty smart."<ref>http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/02/26/liberals.atheists.sex.intelligence/index.html?hpt=Sbin</ref>

It should be noted that liberals who engage in such behavior are hardly the first to attempt to use IQ tests as a means of declaring one group superior to another.  Indeed, the pioneer of psychometrics, [[Darwinist]] [[Francis Galton]], believed firmly that white members of the upper class were intellectually superior to those who were not part of this elite group—namely, members of other races and social classes.<ref>http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Galton/talent.htm</ref>  Not surprisingly, given that Galton was also one of the fathers of the [[eugenics]] movement, eugenicists seized on I.Q. as a means of justifying their doctrine.
