Yes, the link in the article to the research paper isn't working.

The title of the article could be misleading, really comes back to interpretation plus the idea of correlation vs. causation.

For example these paragraphs in the article tell me I would want a "conservative" working for me given they are more likely to methodically do something correct the first time. If you apply these behaviours to "thoughts" does that also mean a "conservative" would also not so easily believe a statement, regardless if it is media, government or otherwise - and would mull it over and apply some logic to it instead of just going along with a crowd?

Easy to draw pros/cons from these things and project your own views.
