<p>I just skimmed through the Political Views section of that paper, and it includes a big shocker: It turns out that engineering majors are disproportionately in favor of religion and religious views when compared to other majors. This is a complete puzzler, because it is a well established fact that fiscal conservatism and social liberalism correlate with intelligence.</p>
<p>The paper includes a table that you can see for yourself. Also, check out the General Sociological Survey for data on IQ and political views.</p>
<p><em>edit</em></p>
<p>It would be interesting to see the breakdown of which religions engineers follow. Catholics are typically more moderate than Southern Baptists, etc.</p>
