Dangerous Minds | Why Intelligent People Use More Drugs
Excerpt:
Consistent with the prediction of the Hypothesis,
the analysis of the National Child Development Study shows that more
intelligent children in the United Kingdom are more likely to grow up to
consume psychoactive drugs than less intelligent children. Net of sex,
religion, religiosity, marital status, number of children, education,
earnings, depression, satisfaction with life, social class at birth,
mother’s education, and father’s education, British children who are
more intelligent before the age of 16 are more likely to consume
psychoactive drugs at age 42 than less intelligent children.
