Starting simpler:

22% of people who answered all 4 questions got all 4 "correct." Although question 4 (decoy effect) doesn't really have a correct answer on the individual level (it's only designed to be informative in the aggregate, like the anchoring question). 39% of those who answered the first 3 got all 3 correct.

Breaking that down by LW exposure:

High LW exposure: 32% got 4/4, 52% got 3/3.
Med LW exposure: 19% got 4/4, 38% got 3/3.
Low LW exposure: 14% got 4/4, 26% got 3/3.

Breaking the high LW exposure group down by Intelligence (keeping in mind that sample sizes are getting smaller here):

High LW exposure and top third Intelligence: 42% got 4/4, 61% got 3/3.
High LW exposure and mid third Intelligence: 29% got 4/4, 56% got 3/3.
High LW exposure and bottom third Intelligence: 27% got 4/4, 50% got 3/3.
High LW exposure and Intelligence left blank: 26% got 4/4, 35% got 3/3.

That should cover the question that motivated you. I could give some further breakdowns but there are a lot of them.
