Line 8:

I do not think that the CRT "has been found to correlate highly with measures of intelligence, such as the Intelligence Quotient test," since the studies referenced showed only a moderate positive correlation.

Frederick's 2005 study (ref 21) found that the CRT only had a moderate positive correlation with measures of education and intelligence (Education: SAT scores correlated at .44, SAT Math at .46, SAT Verbal at .24, and ACT at .46. Intelligence: Wonderlic IQ Test scores correlated at .43, and the Need for Cognition Scale of the tendency to enjoy thinking at .22). Toplak's 2011 study (ref 32) found no correlation higher than .49.

I changed the wording from "has been found to correlate highly" (which would imply at least .6 correlation, to my understanding) to "has a moderate positive correlation." [[User:GregConan|GregConan]] ([[User talk:GregConan|talk]]) 07:22, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
