While I'd like to believe some of those conclusions, the study leaves out a lot of important factors in personal politics. Environment has a lot to do with people's political persuasion unfortunately, including their parents' and peers' influence. This doesn't all happen in a vacuum.

a lot of people called 'conservatives' aren't even conservative in any true sense of the word

e.g. here's some 'conservatives' idea of foreign policy:

The Henry Jackson Society is a non-profit organisation that seeks to promote the following principles: that liberal democracy should be spread across the world; that as the world’s most powerful democracies, the United States and the European Union – under British leadership – must shape the world more actively by intervention and example; that such leadership requires political will, a commitment to universal human rights and the maintenance of a strong military with global expeditionary reach; and that too few of our leaders in Britain and the rest of Europe today are ready to play a role in the world that matches our strength and responsibilities.

this is classic neocon dribble, and isn't remotely conservative in the traditional sense
