Top 2% is all that Mensa is targeted to include.
Wisdom is valuable, but so is IQ.
Those with material success have long tried to deflect envy by professing an ideology that is seen as compensating. All it takes is for it to be taught for a couple of generations and reinforced by close associates (see the Ash experiment) to cement a cover ideology.
Also, arguably, leftist positions have long been seen as advanced by the wealthy to keep potential challengers at bay. Those who have used their smarts to acquire wealth may well take that approach.
Same happened with me, I was in love with a Jewish boy and his family looked down on me. We dated 5 years, then I saw it was fruitless.
There is truth to what you say, but also still well above average smarts both at the Ivies and among those who earn wealth.
When I tested over 30 years ago, they were only accepting the top 1%.
I needed 142 or higher. I only scored 138.
Folks with Ashkenazi blood are also prevailing carriers of NCCAH, an autosomal defect of the endocrine system.
I know this from personal experience.
You have to take the bitter with the sweet.
In other news, the Florida Citrus Group says oranges are the healthiest food on the planet!
I think your memory may be off on that. And scores needed vary by the scale of the different tests.
Interesting story.shows why testing can be important. You now know you have risks.
Sometimes you have to use it as an advantage to get tests ordered.
Drs may be reluctant until they hear ashkenazi jew.
A lot of Drs just dont listen..so i make sure key words are used and often. Like with ob gyn...”died of ovarian cancer”..which is a huge red genetic flag
Almost made it - 126
Social environment plays a part.
I grew up in a pretty wealthy suburb. The population was almost entirely Christian, and one of my teachers told our class that the average IQ in the district was 110.
Middle class life must produce higher IQs in general.
A smart fool is a danger to everything around him.
A dumb fool is mainly a danger only to himself.
Ha—probably often true!
Let a Christian org or outlet publish an article saying white Christians are the smartest people on earth
Boy the sound and fury that would bring
But like I said earlier
Who civilized this planet...
Wasn’t Jews
Wasn’t blacks
Want orientals or Asians or whatever they are called now
It was white Europeans ....Christians
And now they are hated for that...
Btw
German Jews are smart...no question of that..
I’ve lived all over the world including worked in Israel
Mizrahi Jews are not as smart though very clever
High Arabs are similar honestly
Blacks lag worldwide.....some bright spots....Ibo tribe for example....Tutsi as well
Of Europeans Irish are least intelligent I think....sorry...and I’m a big chunk Protestant Irish and Catholic Irish
I don’t think Celtic folks test as well as Saxon descended...why I don’t know or Norman or Dane....talking British isles
Germanic and Dutch seem bright and test well...as do White Russians
Asians it seems Chinese do well wherever they populate outside China ....Singapore to Malaysia
In India the whiter Indians dominate
Japan of course and South Korea to a degree seem higher IQ
Swamp Asians and tribal mountain folk like Montagnards not so much
Aborigines in the running for most dull along with some Central Africans
Latin. America....the whiter the more accomplishment and better scores
In the USA it’s the same and sad to say whites in the northeast and big cities score higher than my stock ...whites in cotton states
I’ve lived or worked everywhere..just passing what I’ve observed
It’s a toss up between the top five percentile who’s least dullard
Ditto for the bottom
What people have to grasp and it’s discomforting I guess in Woke World....the bottom quadrant are truly not very capable of grasping abstract thought and reason
They may hunt like the dickens though in the Bush and prevail where we would die in days
But they are stuck there...American Indians ...whom I have sympathy for...don’t test well
There is a world of difference between a group like say Singapore around 110 and Equatorial Guinea at 65
Astounding capabilities that cannot be bridged in a nanosecond of history
Just not going to happen
I have a very high IQ but I’ve done stupid things and my success is varied
So there is that...
Tell them not to come to NYC, DeBlasio just canned all enrichment programs .
