IQ by country.

[midcan5]

I had no idea gorillas had language and a knowledge base. Wow, every day right wing conservative Americans learn some thing new and important. Anyone have an OP and statistics on when Gorillas tested republicans and Trump fans? That would be an interesting test, maybe a gorilla posting on thepoliticalforums can answer. Let's all wait for their reply. Hopefully they get back to us soon.

Calling gorillas, please reply, and please, no American conservatives are allowed to pretend they are a gorilla either.

Shame on you, bringing this countries IQ down.

[The Xl]

For an animal to have the IQ of a dull to slightly below average human is honestly really incredible and probably more of an outlier than a human with an 180+IQ. Simply amazing.

Conclusions?

My conclusion is that if you actually read one of your links you'd find these findings soundly debunked in every comment. Here's just one of them.

https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-av...est-average-IQ

The modal IQ of a country is 100. This means when you compare countries the only truthfull result youll get is a comparison of the number 100. Anything else presented here, or elshwere and I care not the number of professors names adourning the material, is false and mathematically incorrect.
The IQ test cannot be used for cross cultural comparrison. Thats not how it works. The maths will not and cannot work.. Even the originator of the IQ test red flags this issue as a warning sign to watch out for.
The reason is in the definition. It is an indicator of westernised thinking approaches for a given population. The distribution of any population group along test lines will follow the same distribution spread mathematically called a frequency distribution or bell curve. Comparing a test average amongst other test averages for the same Frquency distribution will mathematically always produce the same result. If you try to include all countries as one population source for your calculation, you run into difficulties attempting to standardise the participants for age, sex, social grouping, and these things invalidate any meaningful data that can be extracted. Despite this there are some ill convinced attempts in order to rank cultures by IQ online. Step away from such information, you'll be wasting your time as the drivers behind any such product are typically racist or with outlandish misguided beliefs, but most of all a failure to apply the correct maths that keep the data just the right side of statistical significance for any meaningful information extraction.

Mmm ... that's racist. I think. Yeah. Wait. No, ... is that racist? Yeah, I think it is. That's racist.

Not racist but offensive to the apes. Or so they say.

The surprise is you getting beat by the apes. Well not that suprising.

IQ is IQ. It is no more than the ability to learn. The lower the IQ the less ability to learn. The higher the IQ the greater the ability to learn. It's not the big deal people make of it.

People with better memories learn more than people with lesser memories. How a person thinks can't be correlated with IQ.

All the nonsense about IQ is just that- nonsense.
