Facebook study concludes lower IQ people like Harley Davidsons

[Conquiztador]

Here the statement: "People with high IQs more frequently liked The Colbert Report television show and films including The Godfather and To Kill a Mockingbird. Those with lower IQs preferred Harley Davidsons and Bret Michaels of the rock band Poison."

This is about what can be determined about people from their "Likes" on fb... And more scaringly how this info is most possible used...

All those 'Lawyers, Dentists and Accountants' will be gutted.

As a rule, generalisations don't work.

I liked Rikky Rocket from Poision - he was a Bonneville rider when I had my T'bird and we talked a bit. Then there was those 'allegations' and we never heard from him online again.

Ahhh, Facebook. Like KB it is a genuine cross-section of society where people's intelligence and preferences are plainly clear to the point one can use comments there made for serious research and study, relying upon the results to form accurate conclusions.

The irony is, Bret Michaels rides a Harley.

[Flip]

The engineers I know who ride Harlies will be gutted.

True! it's all true! we now have proof about the harley boat anchour mob! spread the word, they be dumb as facebook said so and I believe!, oh joyous day all these years of harley bashing, but finally there is unrefutable proof!

I doubt those lawyers, dentists and accountants like Harleys on FB, so it's irrelevant... I bet most the of the 'likers' don't even own Harleys at all...

There's probably a correlation between number of pages 'liked' by a user and low IQ....Because most of the pages on FB are idiotic.

The research I've conducted (in the past 5 minutes on the young members of mensa nz FB page ) suggest those with high IQ's ride 1992 gsf250 and what looks like a honda VTR250.
Also: nearly all members are atheists and 'like' TED talks and videos of surfing pigs

[Road kill]

Face book huh.

[MIXONE]

I "like" Bigdaves page on fb so I wonder what that makes me?

[Big Dave]

Clever and tasteful.
