2. So sarcastic people are smarter, or less empathetic?

Also from the article:
"For the most part, however, sarcasm is not only linked to intelligence – but also to aggression. In a separate study, conducted by cognitive psychologist Albert Katz at the University of Western Ontario, those more “fluent” in sarcasm also scored higher on aggression tests."

Are sarcastic people simply cowards who are afraid to fight and have to resort to words?
And how does sarcasm correlate with empathy?
Is there an inverse relationship between sarcasm and kindness?
Are sociopaths more or less sarcastic than the average person?

5. I'll say it again - sarcasm (and irony) is a great Conservative detector

They simply don't get either one.

In a room of people if I or someone else says something sarcastic (hopefully not about someone) and you see some deadpan faces - they are conservatives. They may "get it" to a degree which indicates their level of Conservatism.

6. That is so true

It takes an extra second to sense a deeper meaning.

You should have a super irony meter.
