Wow, this study is devastating for cynicism. Here's a TL;DR: In studies 1–3, participants indicated they thought cynics would do better on cognitive tasks. In studies 4–5, cynics were tested and 1 SD of cynicism was associated with 0.25 and 0.17 SDs lower cognitive ability in studies 4 and 5, respectively. In study 6, cynics were found to be - less educated in 29/30 countries - less literate in 28/30 countries - less numerate in 29/30 countries - less computer-literate in 23/26 countries Cynicism is simply not smart.
