Average IQ by country

Informative video of IQ averages by country.

I wonder where Ms. Omar’s home country of Somalia falls in terms of rank?

Every chance she gets, she tears into America; the country that was largely built by white Christians. The country that was generous enough to take in her Black Muslim ass.

Maybe she came here and saw all the good things that white infidels could build and developed a seething inferiority complex over it. Knowing her sub-Saharan low IQ compatriots could never achieve anything close to it.

Thank your friendly neighborhood liberals who let in so many thousands of Somali refugees. That experiment failed. They like to hang out at the Mall of America. As many point out, it now looks more like the Mall of Somalia.

And the millions and millions of dollars wasted on them that were supposed to go healthcare for elderly Americans.

The old adage; “You can’t have a 1st world country with 3rd world demographics” rings true for America as well.

Koko the Gorilla had a higher IQ than most sub saharan Africans.

I'd say that the average IQ of the viewers that believe this stupid video, is far below average.

[–] [deleted] 3 years ago

What scientific evidence would you base that on?

[–] Ranb (9630) 3 years ago

I base it on the complete lack of evidence that the producer of the video provides for their claims.

... it's in the description, plus there are updated versions now.

Why are you offended that some countries are less educated than others?

[–] asom (6835) 2 years ago

Education is just a small part of the IQ.

He is offended because IQ seems to be very racially distributed.

In USA as well, where you have let's say the same environment, the difference between races is ... huge.

" In the United States, the mean IQ score among Blacks is approximately 85 and the mean IQ score among Whites is approximately 100; the mean IQ score of Hispanics is usually reported to be between the mean Black and White scores (Herrnstein and Murray report a mean "Latino" IQ of 89 in The Bell Curve). The mean score for people of East Asian and Jewish descent is usually higher than the mean score of Whites, but the extent of that difference is not precisely known. However, several studies place the median IQ of Ashkenazi Jews (who make up the overwhelming majority of American Jews) at approximately one standard deviation above the mean for other Whites, with the primary Jewish advantage in verbal reasoning and the East Asian advantage primarily in spatial reasoning. In The Bell Curve, Herrnstein and Murray report mean IQ scores for East Asians and Jewish Americans of 106 and 113 (on a scale where Whites = 103), respectively."

The numbers on this video are very outdated. Lynn used studies for only 80 countries, the IQ of the rest was just assumed from neighbouring countries. Some studies were as much as 60 years old. In response, Lynn wrote a new book ten years later with more studies and updated numbers where he added Student Assessment Studies (PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS) which are international competitions of how good students do in school. In 2019 he wrote a new book Intelligence of Nations where he updated his numbers again. Here is the updated version from 2019:

Lol people whinging but Somalia is still near the bottom after all those years.

[–] asom (6835) 2 years ago

WTF???

Average IQ 60 for some of the countries?? In USA if you are bellow 83 you cannot enroll because you are not considered a properly functioning adult ...

I can see a correlation between IQ and the socio-economic of most of those countries ...

[–] OvertonPendulum (4026) 3 years ago

These numbers come from Lyn's 2002 book which was succeeded twice with additional books that included more studies after severe criticism. Here is the latest updated 2019 version:
