World IQ scores (2019) Richard Lynn

[Mingle]

no, they live in china. why would they speak romanian? and yes we speak english but when i'm writing official email i make sure they're correct. i can write much better than this lol their english seem pretty good as well. it's not a language barrier for sure. they also have a very childish mentality. they never respect their deadlines and come out with the most stupid excuses. sometimes i believe they're real but i doubt i really have to know all those details ))) how the boss had to live to take care of his sick mother who hasn't been very well lately, or how the boss got into a fight with the owner of some other company who is also his relative and other telenovelas sometimes i get amused, other times they get on my nerves ))

Lol okay, I thought you were talking about real life interactions. That's why I asked about them speaking Romanian.

I also have stories like that with Chinese PhDs. Sometimes they have really retarded behavior. I often wonder if their thinking is as poor as their verbal skills.

i don't know but they make a lot of mistakes too..stuff that doesn't make any sense to me. anyone with a minimum IQ would not make them. On another hand, i worked with indians as well..much easier to deal with..i never had any type of problems with those people

Amerindians or indo mestizos have a high spacial iq as tartarians or mongoloid asians, i think some amerindians still have some heritage from the ancient siberians or altaic

Central Americans always scores low IQs in these meassurements. Even Guatemala that is the most amerindian and less african among central americans.

I have the same experience Indians are much more socially aware.

yes, exactly

These Asians you mention are more into electronics than software.

Asians are good merchants. Here some people are jealous of how they get in the higher classes by only sell things. For my personal experience, I only met chinese students in private schools and anyone in public schools or high schools.

Nope, Lynn does not include foreigners for European countries and this was already stated here.

If they were included, UK, France and Germany, Belgium and Netherlands would have much lower scores, but they don't.
Germany and Dutch are in top of Europe, and they have much more immigrants than Greece does. If they were included, their score would be drastically lower.

Yes, he does include immigrants. I read his survey. And I saw the bibliography. For Greece, it has put the average between adults and minors, each group of which has its own survey. The northern European countries only have citations from surveys who have examined adults exclusively. Take Norway for example. Only one survey was cited by Lynn, and adults only were examined. And it showed 100 IQ points. Hence the IQ score for Norway. The same is due for the Netherlands and Sweden.

So then what’s Greece’s natural iq if you had to guess?

100-103 on average. Our education system proves it needs that much at least. Our immigrants (almost entirely Albos or Pakis) are on the 80-82 points rage. Considering the study from 1981, which showed the figures from Greece when it was almost entirely homogeneous, but still had some gypsies, which were also included (they seriously are accepted in our education system, despite the fact no one wants them and for very good reasons), who dropped the average done to 101,3 still. So it's somewhere between 100-103. Not higher from the Dutch or the Germans, but still on the three digit range.

Amazon Amerindians are descendants of the Altaics (cambodia / vietnam has 50% altaics genes). Other amerindians are from another haplogroup

These Asian countries are export industries, their education is math / science oriented they will score higher on IQ testing. Maybe Finland outperforms these countries in quality of life.
I don't care about competitions, while China wastes time wanting to turn humans into calculators for competitions. US dominates the math / engineering university market with its MATLAB software (best human capital).

Finland is also export country (high costs industry products). Global depressions will hit on it always ... and recovering of those? It is one of the last Western European countries where economy will start to grow again (= ''customers'' needs to recover first).

But against those (or some of those) Asian countries ... service sector (% of all) is also big in Finland. Comes via Nordic countries society structures.

If one is living in country which can not be competitive via production costs (location => transporting costs, salaries, energy, social responsibilities etc.) ... I think these kind of comparisions are ''good''. Not that one would believe them word by word ... but they are giving you some idea where your country stands and is going against others. Succeed in statistics like these will not automatically give/offer one country anything, but they someway shows that there are ''chances'' of succession alive. Without knowledge, there are not even that.
