A new type of "Political Science"

A recent article titled "How to Spot a Baby Conservative" discussed the results of research by a UC Berkeley professor into the origins of personality and a possible correlation between personality and political ideology. Below is an excerpt from the article linked in the title bar:

"Remember the whiny, insecure kid in nursery school, the one who always thought everyone was out to get him, and was always running to the teacher with complaints? Chances are he grew up to be a conservative."

It's not the soundest science, but I think it's worth a read. Enjoy!
