Is there any research that correlates Scrabble strategy and choice of words to either educational level or political leaning?

There are any number of approaches to playing Scrabble – there’s the score-big-early philosophy, the make-connections approach, the very defensive approach, and so on.

Choice of words also may be reflective of a person’s outlook, personality, political leaning. For example, all points being equal, would putting down RAFT versus FART tell you something about that person?

Are you aware of any research that would draw links between word choice, intelligence, political leaning, and Scrabble strategy?
