"TEA Party members have higher than average rates of scientific comprehension." Yale University.

But everyone knows that Yale is inferior to Middlebury Voc Tech.

Where was this study found? Who conducted it? What do the numbers for science comprehension represent? A test? If so, what kind of test? Any idea how the sample populations were chosen? Is there any reasoning for whether the results were statistically significant?

It was done by a liberal professor who professed that he doesn't agree with the Tea Party though he admitted that what he knows about them was only through watching MSNBC, reading the Huff Post, and the NY Times. Sounds quite familiar.

The article provided no formal description of the study, the statistical methods, and minimal description of the tests used other than to say the p value was 0.05 which is the general value threshold applied to conclusions that are described as statistically significant. The r value seems to be a fair parameter given the data was presumably non parametric and this type of study likely used some sort of Likert scale.
