XP's compilation of the latest IQ studies per country

[Vyasa]

If WHITE EUROPEAN psychologists established psychometrics as a discipline, why do North East Asians and ashkenazi Jews score HIGHER than whites if it's "culturally biased" (whatever that garbage means)? How is measuring someone's pattern recognition or ability to solve logic problems (WITHOUT WORDS) "cultural bias"?

Verbal tests are a lot more g-loaded. Raven's is the gold standard among culture-free tests and it has the worst correlation with other IQ tests.

Nigga, that expression was born out of the fact that North East Asian Americans are, on average, more intelligent than white Americans. Are you this dense?

These tests are bullshit, but yes, East Asians are still superior.

How can you argue North East Asians are superior if you arbitrarily disregard the scientific validity of psychometrics/IQ tests? BTW, considering that the U.S. military has been using IQ metrics for over a century to gauge potential recruits, I'd say it's a lot more credible than you could imagine.

You've written an IQ test at least once in your lifetime!

It's called SAT!

It's a thinly veiled IQ test.

why can't East Asians be superior and IQ tests be bullshit at the same time?
they aren't mutually exclusive

The SAT before 1995 was much more correlated with IQ than it is now (which isn't a reliable measure).

What tests would you give them?

There's no such thing as a culture-free test! It doesn't exist!

Psychologists ARE FUCKTARDS WHO MADE THE WHOLE THING UP.

CULTURE-FREE TESTS ARE A BIG LOAD OF SHIT!

Calm the fuck down. Just because India's IQ is shit, you don't have to flip out.

Yes, you can have tests which are free of cultural bias, or at least have very minimal cultural input. A lot of IQ questions involving mathematics, geometry, logic, etc are all culture free.

That's a myth. It still has a very high correlation with self-reported IQ tests although pre-1995 had a much higher ceiling.

I think it depends on educational background too. Im no expert but I think intelligence is similar as muscles, you can bulk them up. Also if you made yourself familiar with those type of questions it should be easier. That being said culture-free IQ tests how they are called measure only spatial intelligence, and mathematics has alot to do with school too, if you never went to school you would not be able to count even, and dont recognise nummerical patterns therefore.

Source? Because everything I've read from eminent psychologists says the opposite.
