    Some people call others bigots just because they disagree with their answer and then compound it by saying they have low IQ when, in fact, they are brainwashed sheep who can't think outside the box.

    Fear is a big component of bigotry, as is the perception that other groups are either given better treatment or are favored to your detriment. I don't take a lot of notice of IQ scores or those who think themselves superior due to a high score, but there are many very intelligent and manipulative people who seek to enhance the fears of others in order to gain dominance and power over those disaffected and frightened people by giving them an enemy, ie a group which is perceived as at fault for, or the cause of their grievances.

    People that have emotional intelligence are way more successful than people with high IQ. Don't waist your time trying to figure out a way to get high IQ. Read, research try to learn as much as you can.

    My father was a bigot of the Archie Bunker school. It had to do with the environment in which he was raised. His opinions on race matters was wrong. Otherwise, he was a very knowledgeable man.

    This is prejudicial itself and therefore self-contradictory, bigoted, illogical, and you may also conclude not a sign of intelligence. But I don't think your assertion is empirical.
