Line 10:

Frederick's 2005 study (ref 1) 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 2) 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)

Edit: I also added a paragraph to "correlating measures" which references a study describing why cognitive ability / intelligence does not always predict CRT performance.[[User:GregConan|GregConan]] ([[User talk:GregConan|talk]]) 07:22, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
