Holy autism.
Anyway,
Lynn and Vanhanen's work is fine and some form of an average or median will likely be more accurate(specifically their 2012 book, it's quite annoying to see people still using the flawed 2002 book as reference), but I wanted to see what happens if you take the latest, highest sample studies, rather than an average of all studies done(some of which include studies with very small samples, and even pre-WW2 studies). The results do largely remain the same, but there are some key differences, and imo, there are much less anomalies. Also, there's a lot more countries.
For this, I'm putting up the latest studies, EXCEPT when there is a previous study(post-2000) that has a larger sample size by a large amount. The only exceptions to that are China, Taiwan, Canada, which use pre-2000(2 1990s and one from the 70s) studies when later studies were available because of the extremely larger size of the sample. Trying to also keep it within the same age group, if there is a older study with less samples but the age sample is kids rather than adults, I will include it over the adult one, as it's best to compare the same age groups. The vast majority of tests here are the same, mostly SPM or CPM.
Look up Richard Lynn Intelligence Database if you want the source or want more.
