Polish IQ ahead of France, USA, Canada, Israel, Ireland...

*wails and tears at hair* Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....

That is all BS!

:)

there there... cmok.

And I have a rational explanation of this decline. But we are not starting this topic now, are we... :)

See ya.

For 104 of the 185 nations, no studies were available. In those cases, the authors have used an estimated value by taking averages of the IQs of neighboring or comparable nations. For example, the authors arrived at a figure of 84 for El Salvador by averaging their calculations of 79 for Guatemala and 88 for Colombia. Including those estimated IQs, the correlation of IQ and GDP is 0.62.

To obtain a figure for South Africa, the authors averaged IQ studies done on different ethnic groups, resulting in a figure of 72. The figures for Colombia, Peru, and Singapore were arrived at in a similar manner. For People's Republic of China, the authors used a figure of 109.4 for Shanghai and adjusted it down by an arbitrary 6 points because they believed the average across China's rural areas was probably less than that in Shanghai. Another figure from a study done in Beijing was not adjusted downwards. Those two studies formed the resultant score for China (PRC). For the figure of Macau, the average IQ is 104 which is obtained from the score of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and in such a way transformed into an IQ score.[6]

In some cases, the IQ of a country is estimated by averaging the IQs of countries that are not actually neighbors of the country in question. For example, Kyrgyzstan's IQ is estimated by averaging the IQs of Iran and Turkey, neither of which is close to Kyrgyzstan—China, which is a geographic neighbor, is not counted as such by Lynn and Vanhanen. This is presumably because the ethnic groups of the area speak Iranian and Turkic languages, but do not include Chinese.

To account for the Flynn effect (an increase in IQ scores over time), the authors adjusted the results of older studies upward by a number of points.

What you provided is backing up even more what I think about these tests. Nothing but an unimportant little number, not bringing the bearer anything at all (unless you count the personal satisfaction).

I don't believe the first list Jews are some of the most clever people in the world they are playing chess when the rest of the world are playing checkers

Sczur - writing as a guest user doesn't mean you may not be banned (for trolling in your case)

The average Jew IQ is 110-115. Israel's number is so low because of the Arabs living in the country.

Intelligence - "the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills".

IQ - the ratio of mental to the actual ages in terms of the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.

It makes sense to evaluate a child. If the kid's intelligence so defined is as if he were 12, but his actual age is 10, his IQ is 120.

Eventually, everybody reaches the flat part. Does it mean that a 60-year-old genius who has reached the flat part in his life has an IQ of 100?

This whole IQ thing needs some major work. On top of that, I wouldn't trust the IQ tests as done today in the crazy world of PC. God forbid it would come out that blacks are not as smart as their white oppressors. Riots, fire, and destruction

Maybe that's better.

Polish IQ ahead of France, USA, Canada, Israel, Ireland...
And ahead of those countries in the alcoholism rate too.
How can people be so smart and still be so dumb ?
Go figure.

Those rankings are from 13 years ago and may well have changed by now.


Actually no. The USA is ahead of Poland :

Try harder.

The USA is ahead of Poland in everything but not by much when it comes to drunks.
And that may have changed by now.

Try Harder

@johnny reb
Most things I would agree to. U.S.A still comes off more brutish then stylish tho compared to Poland, despite everything that needs fixing in Poland. As long as America appears more wild and savage then brutish then I guess it remains with a certain appeal, but being fancy has a much larger appeal in Europe overall.

As simple things as preferance over how a cup of coffe is given or presented. In porcelanie or more paperlike for quicker and sturdy take out.

It hasn't.


I could ask the same of the countless Americans addicted to opioid drugs.

Thats because we have no president to close our borders to the flow of those drugs into our country.
With that said, it is just a matter of time before Poland and the rest of Europe has the same drug problem as China is getting very rich from this.

Hide and watch

No-one is forcing people to take them. That's a conscious decision made by people who aren't too smart. As you were trying to imply when you brought up the subject of Poland and alcoholism in your trolling post # 39.

Actually it was not a trolling post as it was showing the irony.
I guess you are just to short to get it.


I agree as a lot of them are the uneducated minorities.
But like I said, Poland and the rest of Europe will soon have the same drug problems the United States has.
Follow the money

The concept of an intelligence quotient in itself is relative!
IQ tests were long abandoned in this country as a way of "objectively" measuring one's intelligence, as cultural factors are as much an interference factor as anything else.

During the '60's, black and Latino children were typically shown three drawings of a (Caucasian!!) man carrying a briefcase, another a garden hoe, yet another seated in a restaurant above the question: "WHICH OF THESE MEN IS GOING TO WORK?"

Only the first answer was deemed correct. If that's not discrimination, I don't know the meaning of the word.
