    IQ is not equally distributed between races, or rather regions of the world.
    IQ by nation:

    IQ by race / region

    That does not mean that people with low IQ can't achieve if they work hard. Few professions require a high IQ for success.

    My only point was that you are wrong to say all children can absorb material equally well (given an equal education). They can't.

    This was said in the context of a law suit. NFL lawyers made the claim and provided the evidence.

    The NFL would never say this in its official capacity otherwise.

    I think the NFL should be ashamed. They're basically confirming the results of the Bell Curve without sticking that label on it.

    In reality--just my opinion--brains and brawn aren't always equal in an individual, and the brawny guy usually isn't the brainy guy. The brawny guy is good for entertainment purposes, but the brainy guy moves our world forward, so we should never conflate the contribution of the two. I've long thought we need to de-emphasize sports. Whoever came up with the term sports "stars?" That's anti-intellectual.

    My son got put on the 8th floor of Jayhawk Towers one year (KU) and that's the floor the basketball players stay on. He would tell us how girls were frequently visiting their floor and doing the basketball player's homework. That's just ridiculous.

    So, yes, IQs vary from birth, but an average IQ person can go a long way in this world if he/she has the support of parents early on for reading, studying, exploring, setting goals. Encouragement and developing a love of learning is essential in the formative years--so, to be sure--blacks who come from single-parent families are not going to get the same advantage as those who come from two-parent families who really want them to succeed.

    There's a cultural aspect to this--in any inner city, you can see black kids out playing on the neighborhood basketball court at all hours of the night. They're all hoping for a shot at the big leagues. That's their ticket out, they think. Those who actually succeed are a tiny, TINY minority. The rest, because they opted to play ball instead of study, are in the same straights as their parents were. It's sad really.

    Then, look at Asian children--their parents (on average) are very strict about academics. Those kids don't get to go out and shoot hoops with the black kids. Same with many Jewish and white kids. Their adult lives and successes are directly related.

    The idiocy of "there is no right answer in math" is fueling the downfall of our children.
    Most people have an average IQ. Average, however, varies based on race and region.

    Actually the human populations with Neanderthal DNA have a higher average IQ than other groups (100-105), except the Northeast Asians (108-110). See the charts I posted above.

    No, not really.

    I think a great example of why we are all different is to consider the importance some cultures place on social-emotional development because they're inherently more collectivist or their values are different. They might not be learning mathematics in a classroom but are basically doing vocational training within their community to take on a role. This does not impact "intelligence," or rather cognitive functioning, but it would impact test performance on standard measures of intelligence.

    When we discuss intelligence testing we are referring to a series of cognitive functions related to how we receive, encode, process and interpret information. A major issue is that we are all going to interpret data and information differently based on our experiences (including culture and education). Certain subtests of the most commonly used measures of intelligence are extremely unfriendly to cultural variance. There is an overreliance on having the same experience with language, for example.

    Everyone, more or less, has the same hardware (cognitive functioning based on neurobiology) within a range. Culture to culture, different software is taught to that hardware. Thus, we all have hardware but learn to use it differently.

    And earlier in this thread someone brought up genetics; yes, FSIQ as measured by common measures has been demonstrated to be partly inherited - same with personality. Behavioral genetics is probably going to get pretty fun in the next decade, particularly with epigenetics and the development of new testing and assessment measures.

    The average IQ in the US is 100. In Gahan it is 49. See previous links.

    Yes, I looked at the links to pseudoscience. No mention of measures or methods, including in the "sources."
