The Intelligence metric I used here (which combines the 5 questions on SAT, ACT, and IQ) correlates positively with each of the five measures of ties to LW, with correlations ranging from 0.07 to 0.17. Correlations (all statistically significant at .05 level, n range from 813 to 874):

0.10 karma (log(karma+1))
0.17 sequence reading (treated as continuous scale)
0.11 LW use (treated as continuous scale)
0.07 time in community (sqrt)
0.16 meetup attendance
0.16 composite of those 5 questions
