World Ranking of Countries by Their Average IQ

[RealityKing]

Which country has the highest IQ? What is the average IQ of your country? Here is the average IQ of more than 80 countries.

These numbers came from a work carried out from 2002 to 2006 by Richard Lynn, a British Professor of Psychology, and Tatu Vanhanen, a Finnish Professor of Political Science, who conducted IQ studies in more than 80 countries.

Richard and Tatu argues that differences in national income are correlated with differences in the average national intelligence quotient (IQ). They further argue that differences in average national IQs constitute one important factor, but not the only one, contributing to differences in national wealth and rates of economic growth.

These results are controversial and have caused much debate, they must be interpreted with extreme caution.

I see, so an IQ is tested according to the western standards. By predicting missing patterns in a webpage.

This is really controversial,

"Richard and Tatu argues that differences in national income are correlated with differences in the average national intelligence quotient (IQ). They further argue that differences in average national IQs constitute one important factor, but not the only one, contributing to differences in national wealth and rates of economic growth."

I don't see any scientific approach to this kind of research.

So, national IQ is correlated to national income?

How in the first place one establishes this sort of relationship? How about tons of other factors that affect national income?

I would appreciate if they would have randomly sampled individuals from various strata for each nation and comparatively do some critical scientific experiments for each aspect of an individual that undoubtedly constitutes an IQ.

I suggest this research be conducted for the presidents of nations as a pilot study! I can't wait to see how Trump and Kim Jong-un will confront each other with fury, fire and fierce arguments, depending on who is ranked higher than the other!
