But contrary to the prediction of SCT, such polarization did not abate among subjects highest in Numeracy; instead, it increased. This outcome supported ICT, which predicted that more Numerate subjects would use their quantitative-reasoning capacity selectively to conform their interpretation of the data to the result most consistent with their political outlooks.

I dunno if equating numeracy with intelligence is a fair read, but an interesting study nonetheless.

that's how he defines numeracy in the video but he used the word "smarter" on youtube. i didn't think it fit either so i just went with "intelligence" because it means acquiring and using knowledge in a similar way to numeracy; but was still in keeping with the source & the youtube video.
