In an article in 1995, New Yorker journalist Maria Konnikova describes an experiment that takes place among a group of left-wing and right-wingers. "Leftists are more adept at combining two ordinary objects in a new way to form a third. They also do well when they need to group lists of words in as many alternative categories as possible, "she explains.

In one study 126 students had to fill in questionnaires about how often they feel worried, they pay attention to rumors or think of situations that upset them. It turned out that the more worrying had a significantly higher speaking intellect. In other words, they have a richer vocabulary, better categorize words and understand the meaning of phrases.

These inscriptions have been reviewed by independent assessors. 86% of the students who have received the most test scores have chosen humorous drawing titles. Later the same study was conducted with comedians and they all received above the average results of the verbal intelligence test.
