Reminds me of an IQ test I once took in the Democratic Republic of Congo (that big dark red one, in case you’re not one of those super smart Americans:

Abegunde Ma’alo Kinze has three machetes. Banana Mura Militia requires him to decapitate four neighbors, but two of them are Ba’ana Mura.

Should he give the two other machetes to his Ba’Ana Mura brothers, and keep one so that they can all share the required head-count,

or hide two in his mother’s hut where they are least likely to be used to chop off his fifth and most attractive wife’s breasts,

instead using his remaining machete to chop off his Banana Mura brothers’ fingers so they will not use his machetes to torture his cousin Maka’mibe who knows where a box of 7.62 ammunition may be hidden,

before he, himself, can torture his cousin Maka’mibe in order to find the ammo to trade for a pre-teen bride?

I watch too many crazy Ivan videos to believe that Russia scores that high.

Hong Kong (1st.) 108

USA (22nd.) 98

Not that great a difference.

I wonder why Canada is higher than US, what’s bringing the average down? Heh


The United States average IQ was in the 103 range before we opened the flood gates to the cultural enrichers in the name diversity over all.

Italy beats the Frogs and the Krauts. That’s not going to sit well in certain EU circles. And for the US to tie for 9th with all the morons we have? That’s a surprise.

What’s up with Africa? I thought they’d be at the top of the rankings. Maybe we need to scale the test and get them to at least 90.

Well, it doesn't include Wakanda.

Exactly.

Which also begs the question, are they going to update the list to reflect the changes to diversity?

One of my daughters is from Russia. She is wicked smart.

When we adopted her, we brought her to a Russian psychologist down in DC for evaluation - in case there was something we could be aware of. She was orphaned at 6, adopted at almost 16, and we just didn't want to miss anything important.

The doctor told us she'd never evaluated someone who could process multiple things at the same time, as she did. She scored superior in intelligence in a second language (english) she'd just learned months before. The doctor said her scores would have been higher, if the test had been in Russian.

She's beaten me in every game we ever played.

Sample size is just one, but I'm sure there are others like her.

She's grown into a sweet woman, good mom and wonderful daughter.

The list ranks all 9 countries with an average IQ of 98 as #9, but there are 22 countries that scored higher.

The US number is pretty good if you consider that the US welfare system incentivizes stupid people to breed in huge numbers.

There may be some correlation with high disease burdens and malnutrition for areas like sub-Saharan Africa being so low.

One standard deviation of population averages versus human average would be reasonable, given the Ashkenazi average that is 1 deviation HIGHER. This means other populations being an average of one deviation (15 points) lower isn’t unreasonable.

Well, countries where people have been taking exams for hundreds of years are at the top (China, South Korea).

Not to say the IQ measures leadership or creative skills.

I’m happy not being in those nations. Tests only show so much.

I don’t care the IQ of our individual citizens or of subgroups, the problem is you have groups that are generally less smart and then blame racism because they have less members in top jobs. I’ve had relatives who are dumb as dirt and I love them, but they never blamed anyone else for their job status.
