More educated people think more like economists 

That's the finding of Bryan Caplan in finding that economic literacy (yes, Stephen, I agree we need another word than literacy) correlates with education. Is it a proxy for IQ? Possibly. It probably doesn't correlate to economic education very well, since there's pretty good evidence that most people forget what they learned in principles of economics after two years.
