Why is Portugal relatively poor?

You missed the point. The point is that in the 80's with a more homogenous society IQ was higher. And with the native portuguese people they were in the top percentile.
The study you show is from 2011.
Funny that you selectively deleted the message above when I wrote about the brain drain and the replacement of people from non-eu portuguese speaking countries. That in itself lowers IQ by a few points.

What the fuck is wrong with you? My post isn't an attack on the Portuguese and this accusation of me 'deleting the message above' as if I had an agenda is hilarious. I deleted everything except the study. There is no 'trick' being pulled, you dumb hysteric.

Read the study instead of rambling at me. Immigration is addressed.

Upset because I pointed out your sample from one study is too small.... There is clearly something wrong with you.

We'll never know do we?! The fact is that you wrote with no context that the numbers I posted were wrong and that 2011 study were the real numbers, without giving any type of information that passed 30 years and many things happened meanwhile. Just because you are always a bully doesn't mean anything on what your motives are for trying to change things without context.

Because you done that, I had to correct you like I aptly did.

I didn't say they were wrong. I said the sample size is small. It's absurd to base anything on a small sample size of a few hundred alone. I posted a study with larger sample sizes and even better it was by region. The IQ scores on that study are basically the same for the rest of Western Europe. I actually use this study on the occasion someone babbles about Portugal supposedly having a low 90s IQ. This study, with its excellent sample size, proves otherwise.

If you come at me aggressively, I'm obviously going to respond aggressively. Lolz at context. I only care about the study. What you said didn't matter to me. It's a small sample study is the point (for most nations listed, which Portugal is one of them). I provided a better study in regards to Portugal.

I knew the numbers were similar but for the sake of it, just try to give some context for an outside reader to not have that same ideas or prejudices based on false cliches you truly wrote about.

People usu will only look at what was written without actually look deep into the study and easily take the wrong assumptions or conclusions.

Sorry for any misunderstanding.

Just as an aside, I am surprised that Peru makes the list but not either Mexico or Argentina.

Please keep it a secret. If chicanos find out, all hell will break loose
