(Academia.edu) A recent study by Johan Oosthuizen entitled “The ‘Far-Right’ Genius: An Investigation into the Intelligence of the “Far-Right” shows that — contrary to many previous studies allegedly correlating high intelligence with “liberal” worldviews — people who identify as “far-right” tend to have much higher intelligence than the general population — and that those who hold Christian Identity views show the highest levels of intelligence.
In this study, Oosthuizen is careful to use the term “Far Right” in quotations — because it is a term invented by the Left to smear those who do not go along with their Marxist indoctrination and utopian worldviews — and therefore lacks any objective definition.
People with so-called “Far Right” views rarely identify themselves as “Far Right” — rather, they consider themselves “rational” and “reality based” — allowing facts rather than emotions to lead them to often “politically incorrect” conclusions at odds with the mainstream narrative.
Granted — as Oosthuizen points out — the individuals who took part in this study self-reported their IQs — and the sample was rather small — 139 individuals — but he created a method of screening out individuals whose self-reported IQs were inconsistent with normal “Bell Curve” IQ distributions.
That said, there may be an implicit bias in this study — as the Left tends to attract a large number of women and non-White races who have demonstrably lower IQs — while the ‘Far Right’ tends to be overwhelmingly comprised of White males who have the highest IQs.
Also note that this study is not “peer reviewed” — an academic standard that is often used to dismiss studies that are not approved of by mainstream researchers whose job is it to screen out anything that contradicts the “official” narrative.
Highlights and Conclusions of this Study:
The ‘Far-Right’ Genius: An Investigation into the Intelligence of the ‘Far-Right’
This study investigates the relationship between cognitive ability and affiliation with “far- right” ideologies, analyzing 139 IQ samples collected from self-identified “far-right” individuals through Telegram, a known hotspot of the online “far-right,” with intelligence scores derived from calculating a Full Scale IQ from various verified online IQ tests, including but not limited to RPAM (Clinical Edition).
Previous research highlights a general trend of declining intelligence with increasing “right-wing” ideological orientation, particularly among socially conservative, racist, and authoritarian individuals.
However, findings from this study challenge this narrative, demonstrating an average IQ of 125.7 among far-right participants, significantly above global averages.
Demographic analysis revealed entirely negligible racial differences in IQ, which alongside an analysis of the memetics of the “far-right,” suggests that high intelligence may actively predispose individuals toward “far-right” ideologies.
[CFT Note: This alleged lack of racial differences in IQ is misleading — as the sample size for non-Whites in the “Far Right” taking this survey must be extremely small.]
Notable internal variation was observed, with significant differences based on sex and religion. These findings offer novel insights into the cognitive traits of the “far-right” and their potential role in shaping ideological beliefs.
Highlights
High IQ Among the “Far-Right”: The “far-right” individuals had an average Full Scale IQ of 125.7 (SD = 14.1), markedly above population averages.
Contradictory to General Trends: Unlike prior findings of a negative correlation between intelligence and “right-wing” beliefs, this study found high cognitive ability among “far-right” individuals.
Minimal Racial IQ Variation: Racial background did not at all predict IQ variation within the far-right, contrary to global patterns, suggesting intelligence is a more significant driver of ideological affiliation.
Sexual and Religious Variability: Substantial variations in IQ were observed, particularly among sexes and religious subgroups, with Christian Identitarian & Kinist men scoring highest (average IQ: 140.3) and Völkisch Pagan women scoring lowest (average IQ: 114).
Overall, “far-right” men had an average IQ of 126.9 (SD = 12.7), whereas “far-right” women had a substantially lower average of 117.8 (SD = 19.8).
Ideological Implications: Findings and memetic analyses suggest high intelligence may not only correlate with but potentially catalyze “far-right” beliefs.
Significant Internal Heterogeneity: Demographic and religious sub-groups within the “far-right” showed substantial diversity, against the common perception of a White, Christian, male “far-right”.
Themes
…The overall trend of decreasing intelligence observed in the mean of individuals who hold “right-wing” beliefs/opinions inverts as one moves further “right”. In this scenario, the “far-right” will broadly have an intelligence that is “superior” relative to their respective individual averages….
The socio-cultural environment within “far-right” communities often emphasizes a rational, data-driven approach to interpreting the world. This intellectual posture involves focusing on “objective” realities, as perceived through statistical analysis, historical patterns, and logical reasoning. These traits are closely tied to cognitive ability, particularly in areas such as:
Analytical Thinking: Higher cognitive abilities correlate with a greater capacity for abstract reasoning and the ability to challenge mainstream narratives. This challenges the stereotype of the “far-right” as irrational or purely emotional actors.
Numerical Literacy: Many “far-right” narratives explicitly incorporate statistical reasoning, requiring familiarity with concepts such as rates, proportions, and correlations. For example, interpreting demographic data on crime rates or immigration patterns requires cognitive sophistication, even if the conclusions drawn are ideologically biased.
Pattern Recognition: High cognitive ability often involves recognizing complex patterns over time, such as recurring historical themes or correlations within datasets. Whether these interpretations are accurate or ideologically skewed, the process itself requires intellectual engagement.
Memes serve as a medium for communicating and spreading ideologies, and the complexity of many “far-right” memes demonstrates cognitive engagement. Unlike many political memes designed to elicit an emotional reaction, “far-right” memes often rely on intellectual rigour to decode….
Conclusions
In spite of common trends observed in generally “right-wing” individuals, the “far-right,” regardless of what many individuals would consider their intellectually baseless, bigoted, unintelligent, illogical, et cetera beliefs, stands out as an extremely intelligent political cluster, with this intelligence not being a mere coincidence, but potentially a cause of “far-right” beliefs, as explained in this publication. This intelligence is coupled with much internal variation, particularly in the context of sex and religion.
CFT Comments:
The conclusions of this paper should not be surprising, considering that liberals are vastly over-represented in academia — well over 80% — and they are almost always biased against any views that challenge their power and worldview.
A recent study of academics showed that professors in fields of “liberal arts” and the “soft” sciences like psychology, anthropology, and sociology tend to be vastly over-represented in the ‘Far Left’ — while those in the high IQ hard sciences — or STEM fields like physics, math, and engineering tend to be significantly more conservative — which lends credence to Oosthuizen’s findings.
And, of course, the “liberal arts” in colleges and universities are now dominated by women and an ever-increasing number of DEI racial minorities — often with Jews directing the institutions at the top of the pyramid of power.
As Oosthuizen points out, the liberal “Left” makes its appeals not to the intellect but rather to emotions — and therefore will tend to attract those who try to use “science” or “facts” to justify their emotional approach to understanding reality — often creating intellectual views with foundations made of sand.
Again, this finding makes sense considering Vladimir Lenin once said that the Marxist-Communists should direct their appeals to women because men are too rational to go along with them.
The conclusions of this study are entirely consistent with a similar study published by the Jewish periodical Tablet — which found that the more educated people were, the more likely they would hold “antisemitic” views:
Jews, of course, dominate the political Left and academia, which goes far to explain why the Left prioritizes emotion over rational thought — and why the “Far Right” is more often impervious and dismissive of those emotional appeals.
A perfect example of this emotional appeal can be found in the Jewish “Holocaust” narrative — they display a pile of worn-out discarded shoes at Auschwitz as some sort of “proof” that the Germans systematically “murdered” 6,000,000 Jews for no other reason than that they were Jews:
Auschwitz Museum Begins Emotional Work of Conserving 8,000 Shoes of Murdered Children
Or how the head of the Holocaust Museum in Israel claimed that the total lack of physical evidence is “proof” that the Holocaust actually happened:
It is this kind of irrational, circular reasoning we would expect from a people whose alleged “superior” IQs turn out to be the exact opposite of what they have falsely claimed:
‘Superior’ Jewish IQ Thoroughly Debunked – The Devil Is Literally In The Details
The entire ideology of the Left is based on a Marxist Utopian ideal — not based in objective reality of how things really are but rather on what they believe the world should be so that Jews “feel safe” and in control.
And this utopian worldview has been constructed to intentionally dumb down everyone to an emotional, animalistic common denominator in order for the not-so-intelligent Jewish Elite to rule over them — using shame, censorship, and — if necessary — brute force and the threat of prison and death.
Jews and their mindless minions intuitively know they cannot defeat the “Far Right” through honest debate and an objective evaluation of the evidence, so their only recourse to maintain power and control is censorship and violence:
That said, the ‘Far Right’ has also been infiltrated and subverted by Marxist ideologies — such as racial egalitariansim, international capitalism, LGBT tolerance, third world immigration, and Zionism — basically the MAGA cult.
The same could be said for “conservative” Christian churches — as they walk in lock step with these trendy, feel-good, inclusive talking points of the radical Left:

Background Of IQ Standards and Testing
For many years the “gold standard” of IQ tests was the Stanford-Binet test — a lengthy, comprehensive test that assessed many aspects of intelligence, reasoning, and general knowledge — and also included gauging of an individual’s moral and ethical perceptions.
The Stanford-Binet consistently showed that White males scored higher among all ethnicites — and higher than women — which was very politically-incorrect.
But these results were exactly what we’d expect considering that Whites have created the most advanced civilizations in recorded history — and have produced the most significant inventions, scientific discoveries, music, philosophy, art, literature, and architecture.
David Wechsler — a Romanian-born Jew who worked as a psychologist at New York City’s notorious mental hospital — Bellvue — set out to eliminate the racial and gender bias of the Stanford-Binet test by basically discarding 95% of that test’s questions — and arbitrarily dividing intelligence into two categories and scores which were then averaged — mathematical and verbal.
Most significantly, Wechsler eliminated the moral and ethical component of the Binet test — which is a subject that Jews often struggle with, considering they are heavily influenced by the moral ambiguities and acceptable outrages of their “holy” book, The Talmud. See:
Chabad Rabbi Admits ‘Double Standards’ Are ‘At The Heart’ Of How Jews Live And What They Teach
By doing so, Wechsler got the results his little Marxist heart desired — Jews began scoring among the highest and women scored on par with men — even Asians scored higher than many White men.
The results of the Wechsler IQ test were the ultimate example of Jewish gaslighting — forget about objective reality you see right in front of your eyes going back thousands of years — all cultures are equally valid and valuable — and sophisticated in ways you just don’t understand appreciate that we superior Jews can perceive. Right.
The other glaring problem with Wechsler’s results was that blacks still persistently scored the lowest — a fact that would vex the racial egalitarians in academia for the next 80 years — no IQ test has ever been designed that shows that Whites and blacks scoring anywhere near the same levels.
In fact, in 1959 the American Association on Mental Retardation (AAMR) accepted the standard IQ for mental retardation at 85 and below — which qualified the majority of blacks — with an average IQ between 80 and 85 — for the mentally retarded designation.
It was only after the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s — when the government began integrating blacks into the larger White population as “equals” that the AAMR was forced to lower their threshold for mental retardation in 1972 to 70 and below — so as not to offend black people rather than because of any objective evidence to rationalize this change.
Virtually all modern IQ tests tend to follow the model of the simplified Wechsler test — including the RAPM or Raven’s Advanced Progressive Matrices test used in Oosthuizen’s study.
Either way, we’d expect that if his study had used the Stanford-Binet instead, we would see a more pronounced racial gap in IQs among the self-identified “Far Right.”
And we cannot ignore the possibility that the mind-set of the “Far Left” actually has a dumbing down effect — which often causes leftists to have diminished cognitive abilities.
In other words, the human brain is like a computer — “garbage in, garbage out” — it’s ability to function clearly depends on what you allow to be put into it, as Proverbs tells us,
“For as he has thought in his soul, so he is.”
—Proverbs 23:7
Christian Identity and Kinism
We also shouldn’t be surprised that Oosthuizen’s study found those who follow Christian Identity and Kinism should have higher IQs — as we pointed out above, mainstream Christianity is entirely based on the spurious Marxist ideal of racial equality, an idea that both of these groups reject.
Kinists break the modern Christian taboo by openly accepting racial differences — and believe that God intended the races to live separately now in this world — “separate but equal” in God’s eyes.
In this sense, Kinists share the same racial views as mainstream “judeo-Christians” in that both believe that Jesus came for everyone, regardless of race, creed, or color:
So while Kinists are racially-aware Christians, they insist on clinging to unscriptural doctrines of universal salvation — on the one hand they believe in racial segregation in this life, but concede that all Christ-believing races will be saved and coexist peacefully in the Kingdom of Heaven, in complete contradiction of Revelation 21:12:
“The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve angels at the gates.”
It’s interesting that this new study found that “Kinists” also scored among the highest IQs among the “Far Right” — but we would suspect between Kinists and Christian Identitarians that Identitarians may score somewhat higher for reasons we will look into.
Christian Identity differs from Kinism in a most significant way — Identitarians believe — based on history, linguistics, and a close analysis of the Bible in its original languages — that White Europeans are descendants of the lost tribes of Israel.
Also, most Identitarians do not believe — as Kinists and mainstream judeo-Christians do — that the people today who call themselves “Jews” are the same people who descend from the tribe of Judah in the Bible — and thus reject the assertion that “Jesus was a Jew.”
Aside from these two basic beliefs, you will find many differences of opinions and doctrines among Identitarians — they are just as likely as mainstream Christians to create schisms over these differing ideas.
Generally, Identitarians are anti-Catholic because they do not believe that many Catholic doctrines and rituals are supported by Scripture — yet, ironically, many Christian Identity groups still insist on believing in many questionable Catholic doctrines that Protestants also uncritically accepted after the Reformation — including a burning hell, the “Holy Trinity“, Satan and demons as real beings, and that Jesus Christ is literally God, not just His Son.
Compared to Kinism, Israel Identity is far more intellectually rigorous — as it requires an objective study of Bible translations most of which are motivated by underlying questionable doctrines — especially the doctrine that Jesus Christ isn’t just the Messiah of Israel but of all “mankind.”
However, it’s somewhat misleading to suggest that Christian Identity is “Far Right” because that term is political — and Identitarians largely reject corrupt politics and don’t believe that the world’s problems can ever be solved politically.
Conclusion
While Oosthuizen’s IQ may seem intuitively correct, we would point out that the New Testament — with the exception of Paul — was written mostly by common men — such as fishermen — and their audience was comprised also of common men — not some elite clique of high IQ Israelites.
Studies show that the average IQ for the White race is about 100 — so we must believe that level of intelligence is sufficient to comprehend — in Paul’s words — “the simplicity that is in Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:3).
And even if you have a significantly higher IQ, do not be puffed up with pride — for it is worthless if your pursuit of the truth is not led by the holy spirit — without it you most certainly will be led astray by theories and doctrines that soley appeal to your carnal mind — to your “intellect” — or to any racial animus:
What Really Happened Between Eve And The Serpent In The Garden Of Eden?
Genesis 6: What Really Happened Between The ‘Sons Of God’ And The ‘Daughters Of Man’?
If we are motivated by knowledge of the Bible, we risk becoming vain:
“Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.”
—1 Corinthians 8:1
To be truly led by the holy spirit, you must be motivated not by hate but by love — love of God, love of His Son Jesus Christ, and love your fellow Israelites — as Paul tells us:
“For all the Law is fulfilled in one word — in this: ‘You will love your [Israelite] neighbor as yourself'”
—Galatians 5:14
The Jew is superior to other races only in verbal intelligence/manipulation, which is why they can fool everyone.
The Asian is an excellent copyist and has good literary intelligence.
The White is at the top because he has the best type of intelligence (creativity), in addition to being curious, which drives his creativity.
Black people have no intellectual quality whatsoever. If you find a Black person who doesn’t seem like an idiot, you can be sure he has some non-African ancestor.

CFT, thank you for the article, but do you not see that this is precisely the problem? People need to embrace ‘far right’ for obvious reasons.
Firstly the actual political spectrum is right vs left – good vs bad. This is the reality. The left wing are everything that oppose YHWH, Yahushua and his creation – Adamites.
Secondly, there is the flawed concept that going extreme, whether left or right, ultimately ends up in totalitarianism. This couldn’t be MORE wrong. Alan Watt, from ‘Cutting Through the Matrix’ used to parrot this nonsense all the time.
The political spectrum is balanced with the middle being Classic British Liberalism. As we move left, we move into socialism, statism and eventual authoritarianism under complete state control. On the other hand, as we move farther right, we progress into conservatism, anti-statism, libertarianism to full on anarchy – without rule or rulers.
People have, courtesy of Hollywood, been utterly indoctrinated into the concept that anarchism is mindless violence. Post apocalyptic, dystopian society, with theft, rape and murdering gangs, warlords, cannibalism…you name it.
They do their utmost best to scare the heck out of people to what is the only true way of life – no rulers, no rules, only a society under the commandments of YHWH and adherence to Yahushua (well for the white Adamites that is).
They continually beat people over the head with democracy, when that can only work in an ethnically homogeneous society, but even then the concept of left vs right, the Hegelian dialectic is a ploy to move eventually to communism.
If there is to ever be any form of government, which I have always opposed, it would be nothing more than a national administration, much like the administration that came to power after the American constitution was created, before the Democratic Republican party came into being and later their split into two.
Through control of speech, in this case ‘far right’ and ‘racist’ the people NEED to say “yes, I am far right. Yes, I am racist. I want to live in a society without government, under the laws of YHWH, not man. I want to live in a society with fellow whites and no one else. It’s not that I dislike non whites, but this is my country, my people, their culture, traditions, myths and legends and no one else’s to have. If people are not happy with that, fine, but they can pack their bags and go back to their own lands and live their way of life there.”
“Whoever would overthrow the Liberty of a Nation, must begin by subduing the Freeness of Speech” – Benjamin Franklin
Marcus,
We actually do agree with what you are saying here — we simply didn’t want to get into all the political theory behind the left-right paradigm, which we believe is a false choice.
National Socialist Germany was not “extreme right wing” as most people believe — it was actually a moderate approach to its problems.
We also eschewed the left-right labels because of the concept of the “Overton Window” — how acceptable discourse always moves left thus making any certain definitions of what’s left or right rather meaningless.
That said, we agree that our ideal national organizing principle should be as the Israelites had it — dedicated to YHWH’s principles with Israelite judges overseeing the people.
Israel ultimately rejected that idea and demanded kings to rule over them — with catastrophic consequences. Once we learn who we are, perhaps then we can go back to that original idea of a society dedicated to God and judged by His trusted mediators.
We don’t advocate libertarianism because it has been, from its beginning, dominated by Jews — as it appeals to their desire to have no laws that control their capital.
One small correction or caveat we might add — you mentioned the “Hegelian Dialectic” — something that Alex Jones has harped on for years — and has become a standard touchstone of the “truther” movement.
A close reading of Hegel’s original work on the dialectic, you will see that it has nothing to do with how it is used by the jewish overlords — in reality, Marx and Engels appropriated a basic idea from Hegel and literally flipped it completely around and used it as a weapon to promote their satanic agenda — and their “dialectic” is far more influenced by Machiavelli and Freemasonry than Hegel.
Thus, it would be more appropriate to called it the “Marxist Dialectic” — problem, reaction, solution.
CFT,
I concur ‘almost’ completely. However, I can’t actually go into it, in detail, as it’s part of the content of my book, but on the concept of judges, I’m somewhat in opposition to them. It’s got a lot to do with the legal system, legal fiction/person and the living man (which makes up one of the Sections within).
All will be revealed, as once I’m finished I’ll be popping a copy down to you.
I wish I could go into more detail, on here, but it was something of a revelation when it dawned upon me. Let’s just say, no publisher is going to touch this book with a 100ft barge pole. I’m not scraping nerves, I’m ripping them out of the body. No stone will be left unturned.
Anyway, yes, I fully understand why you didn’t go into detail on political stances (Left Right paradigm & Overton Window) and also on National Socialism and Hegel’s dialect.
Yes, it should be called the Marxist Dialectic and National Socialism can never be classed as extreme or even right wing. Still trying to understand how Socialists can never accept that National Socialism is a left wing ideology…
Then again, considering the Jews were completely responsible for the birth of identity politics, after the war, then it’s understandable when the reality was, before the war, regardless whether you were a conservative, a liberal or a socialist, you were, first and foremost, a nationalist.
God bless.
Marcus,
Understood about your reticence toward returning to the pre-Kings Israel. However, we assumed that the current corrupt court system — as you aptly described — would be abolished. Otherwise, it would be pointless to return to the Israelite Judges model.
Keep us posted about your book — perhaps we could post some of the chapters or parts of chapters here as articles — to help you advertise your book. No obligations — it would be your call.
Hello CFT,
I’ll let you know regarding posting chapters. I respect that and thank you.
Also, please don’t get me wrong when I stated “on the concept of judges, I’m somewhat in opposition to them…” because my only opposition to them is in what they are judging.
I am 100% in agreement with judges/village elders, with wisdom, knowledge and above all high intelligence, acting in the upholding of YHWH’s commandments.
I am just against what are judges in the modern definition. It’s complicated, but all will be explained in due course.
God bless.
Hmmm… I coulda told you that White Christian people who understand that they are Biblical Israelites and that jews are anti-Christs were above average intelligence decades ago. It is self evident.
But its nice to see it ‘verified’ by someone outside the remnant anyway.
Thanx for sharing.
This is a great article.
It’s really nice seeing you back posting.
I hope all is well with you and yours.
God bless.
To follow Christian Identity, you have to be knowledgeable about both scripture and history.
Being a Judeo-Christian or evolutionist doesn’t require any intellectual depth whatsoever. They just parrot whatever they’re told.
We know how to refute their arguments because we see their talking points all over the place.
I’ve just got suggested your blog by a kind commenter under a Wyatt Stagg’s video!
And this is the first time in my life I’ve ever laid my eyes on the term “kinism” – I immediately thought of dogs, but maybe it’s a low-knowledge reference to the English word “kin”?
So weird. But let me ask you the real question – do these kinologists support the extermination of non-white people in Mexico, Japan, Iraq?
Adûnâi,
If you read the article carefully, you would know what the word Kinism means — related to kind, kindred, and race.
Nothing to do with dogs.
There is no such word as “kinologist”. You made that up.
Again, if you actually read this article you could easily infer that Kinists do not believe in exterminating non-whites.
What’s your agenda? It certainly doesn’t seem you are being open about what motivated you to write this comment, as it has nothing to do with the article.
So this article confirms what I always suspected….that Jews think they are smarter than us because they have no morals or ethics when dealing with us.
This a common trait of all psychopaths.
Unlike us, they are not held back by a moral conscience….a sense of honor….or a a dread of hypocrisy.
If they have to cheat and lie to get what they want, they more often than not will do so, and laugh at us for being so gullible and trusting.
No wonder they scored much lower on intelligence tests when it screened for these qualities.
Do a word search of the Bible….
You won’t find the words “intelligent” or “intelligence” at all.
However, you will find “wise” 237 times, and “wisdom” 222 times.
Know the difference.
petey,
Yes, when you are wise, you are led by the Holy Spirit, and your works speak for themselves.
