Shut the front door! Really?

A recent study examined the relationship between honesty, intelligence, and ethnic background:

"Research shows that honesty correlates positively with intelligence. Similarly, there are racial differences in honesty, with Europeans being more honest than various other ethnic groups."

"We replicate prior findings that honesty correlated with measures of intelligence and that Blacks and Hispanics are less honest than Whites, and this holds whether honesty is measured by self-reports, interviewer-reports or by parent-reports."

"Race differences in honesty remained between Blacks and Whites but not between Whites and Hispanics after controlling for intelligence."

Strange intelligence collates directly to race. And we are full circle.
