Let's talk about IQ

Really? It´s in Thuringia...

Ok, and Erfurt that is close to it and it´s bigger?

IQ can be relative in certain circumstances.

Yes I know Erfurt, I never been to East Germany but it gotta be the best place to travel when you are geniuely intrested in German culture and Germany.

The West is just a shithole.

I think highest IQ has Jamesbond007 and lowest Silvernight here.

PISA es un informe de evaluación de conocimientos educativos, no se basa en tests de inteligencia ni tiene como objeto medir la inteligencia, si no el rendimiento escolar.

PISA como los examenes de admision al college en USA tiene un factor importante de medición de inteligencia. Ya ha sido bien establecida la relación con los SATs americanos.

PISA tests are pretty much like an IQ test, so you can get a sense of the IQ of different countries. For Latin America, almost all countries rank at the bottom of the scale.

I am not sure how sensible it is to consider these tests as Poland has improved in it massively in recent years overtaking multiple European countries and getting close to a top in it unless you want to conclude also that education itself made IQ increase rapidly as well.

PISA no está hecho para medir la inteligencia, y sus pruebas no son pruebas de inteligencia.

¿Se pueden hacer extrapolaciones con datos PISA para tratar de mostrar algo tan ambiguo como puntuaciones de un test de inteligencia? Por supuesto, también puedes calcular la altura de una persona según el número que calce de pie pero aunque exista correlación , no es completa aún siendo lógica cierta causalidad. Si quieres saber la altura de una persona, recolecta datos de altura de personas, si quieres calcular IQ, recaba datos de IQ.

Creo que es bastante sencillo de comprender.

Although Poland has better results, their progress in terms of scores is not very impressive. A difference of more than 100 points would constitute an argument. In fact, mathematics has made the most progress over the past few years, and it's only about 30 points.

Despite being largely hereditary, intelligence also has a component that can be slightly improved by education or socioeconomic status. Poland is probably improving a bit in these aspects, but don't fool yourself - neither Poland nor any other country will score 700 or 800 on the PISA test. All countries are always slightly closer or further away from that average of about 500.
