The "IQ" test used was just a short term memory test consisting of number recall, word recall and backwards number recall. How this maps onto "intelligence" is guesswork.

If you wait 20-30 more years and ask them again, more will move to the conservative end.
I suspect the political leaning is probably better explained by how long the people have been out of the education brainwashing institutions.
Also, Singapore has the third highest average IQ and has very conservative laws.
