I did a statistics project in college, where I tried to determine the correlation, if any, between belief in aliens, and SAT score. The commonsense correlation to expect would be that the redneck idiots would be the ones who believed in drunken abductions and anal probes... but my hypothesis was that those with the very highest SAT scores would be more aware of the vastness of the universe, and the power of evolution, and be the strongest believers in the possibility of aliens.
But in the end, there was no correlation at all. Lots of believers and disbelievers, over the whole spectrum.
