It was a bitch to find anything on this topic, and now I know why:

Political orientations, intelligence and education/ INTELLIGENCE Vol. 40, No.2/ Pages 217-225/ Heiner Rindermann, Carmen Flores-Mendoza, Michael A. Woodley

Individuals preferring a center-right political orientation have the highest mean IQ (105.29). The second highest mean IQ is found amongst those of a centrist political orientation (102.53). This is followed by those preferring a center-left orientation, who possess an IQ mean of 100.67

But the lowest IQ mean is found amongst those having no political preference at all (IQ 93.85).

TL;DR: center-right > centrist > center-left > none in terms of IQ

They really dragged this topic through the mud: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory
"Some researchers suggest that conspiracist ideation—belief in conspiracy theories—may be psychologically harmful or pathological[14][15] and that it is correlated with lower analytical thinking, low intelligence, psychological projection, paranoia, and Machiavellianism.[16] Psychologists usually attribute belief in conspiracy theories and finding a conspiracy where there is none to a number of psychopathological conditions such as paranoia, schizotypy, narcissism, and insecure attachment,[9]"

This is a fun practice to look up wikipedia articles before the world went insane so you can realize it was just one massive shift from deranged individuals
