Statistically in the USA its Asian > i am sure many dont want to answer this or won't truthfully because of all the crap going on. I personally do not think intelligence is inate as a trait. I do think culture and deficit of decency in some cultures leads to them being "less intelligent"

Now one thing many won't do is i have to give blacks lots of credit. They are 12% of the population yet have been able to have or cause enough "issues" that flags are being banned, statues have been taken down and DAs are charging cops in cases of good shoots and a couple legit uses of force i have seen ( philadelphia where a thug was running up put his hands on a cop to stop and arrest and got whacked with a baton) I mean I call that pretty smart or maybe liberal whites are the ones who are smart causing all the chaos for votes.

Science is pretty clear race is a non-issue. The Bell Curve book (i assume you’re referencing) only focused on minorities based here. Asians are immigrant families more likely to succeed. And blacks are marginalized into poor neighbors with absurdly underfunded schools.

[scarlett774]

Your not born with intelligence, it’s something you learn and obtain, I don’t really think race matters to how intelligent you are, people say Asian people are most intelligent but from what my friends who are Asian tell me, it’s because of the environment and standards that they grow up in.

[msc545]

No, you are born with certain genetically determined characteristics, like eye color, skin color, and intelligence among others.

[Genie23]

I've met some pretty intelligent people of every race and some really stupid ones of every race. So, no race is more clever than the other.

[BeMuse]

A number of east Asian countries typically have a few point advantage on average IQ scores, but White nations typically have high numbers of geniuses level IQ scores per capita and also tend to lead innovation in the modern world. So if you want higher averages look to Asians. If you want intellectual leaders look to Whites.

Chinese IQ is a meme.

They are very selective about which students get to take the test. You have to pass an entrance exam first before they let you even take the IQ test, that's how they get such a high average.

It's not like America where we let blacks and Mexicans take the test too and drag down our average. If they only let white kids take the test, our average would be through the roof.

[msc545]

This is completely wrong and misleading. There is no "they".

[Bananaman177]

@msc545 What's wrong about it, dude? Do you not know how IQ testing works in China? It's not some kind of hippie-dippy whacked out conspiracy theory I just pulled out of my butt, it's a matter of public record, you can quite literally "google" it.

This also is a matter of public record:



The states with the least minorities have the highest average IQ.

Here's an IQ map of Africa:

[msc545]

I'm a Ph. D. Psychologist, but you are right - you know so much more than i do about it.

[Bananaman177]

@msc545 It would appear so! It must have been real hard to get your "piled higher and deeper" degree when you can't even check basic facts with a google search.

So which school did you get your degree from and how much funding per year do they get from the CCP?

Those are called, "sources." You'll notice I'm the only one posting any in this argument, but if you can claim to have a Ph. D, I can just as easily claim to be an Admiral in the Space Force, which means I outrank you.

[msc545]

Unfortunately you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, and no idea how IQ tests work. I love people with high school diplomas and a Google education.

[Bananaman177]

@msc545 I'll TELL you how IQ tests work in China, dude. They are taken in High School, but most Chinese students don't get to go to High School, only the ones who do the best on the pre-test. The rest are consigned to laboring as peasants for the rest of their lives. And their slave labor is what helped the CCP to pay for your degree program, Doc.

I love people who pay $80,000 for a shiny piece of paper to hang on their wall that guarantees they're a real smart one.

[jakerson181]

Why do people have a need to start threads like this?

[MuffinBoi]

Not you. Or humans for that matter since you never specified if they should be on earth

[Barbaric]

Almost every answer here is about feelings over facts, virtue signalling, and mental gymnastics.

[TheAfrikan]

As a guy who reasons with sense. this question has no meaning.
What i can say is being intelligent is not born or inherited.
Two intelligence and IQ comes in different standards.
So which race is intelligent, it will be aliens 😈😆

[jeemm]

If intelligence isn't related to hereditary then why are we more intelligent than our other ape ancestors? It's only due to genetics that determine our physical qualities and that includes IQ.

Different human races have different histories and different difficulties they've had to overcome to survive and based on the location certain races gained a higher evolutionary advantage in either physical strength or intelligence. For example most of the leading athletes black due to them being more physically suited for it because of evolution. Similarly most of the revolutionary inventions and engineering have been created by Asian and white people.

[Anonymous]

Using IQ tests that are SUPPOSEDLY culture free, Asians score the highest, then whites, then hispanics, then blacks. There are so many problems with these studies and their findings that nobody takes them seriously except, of course, racists.

[FakeName123]

And psychologist who know that IQ is one of the most reliable factors of defining life-success.

[Opinion Owner]

@FakeName123 Yeah, I'm a Psychologist with a Ph. D. - you are only partially right. IQ is a good predictor of academic success, which in turn is a very weak predictor of"success in life".

[FakeName123]

It also predicts income, health and other factors. The problem is that IQ isn't the only factor relevant for those. It requires another factor (s) to come along for this. For example high IQ and industriousness is obviously a lethal combination for educational and economical success.

Thus IQ is often times taken with a grain of salt as a sole measurement, but that doesn't take away that IQ is a big reliable predictor anyway.

[Opinion Owner]

@FakeName123 I see. You think IQ is a single reliable predictor of what, exactly?

[Shinso_Hatano]

Every race has stupid people in it! Plenty of super super super dumb Asians including myself!

[Ihatemissingyou]

Intelligence is something you can obtain by environment, resources and self motivation, not by race.

[nodnol32]

You read my mind. Was going to write the same thing in slighlty different words.

[FakeName123]

Intelligence is mostly genetical and inherited. Environmental factors can play a role, but are quite a bit smaller in comparision.

[FakeName123]

Edit: Except for malnutrition. That shit is killing braincells and an environmental factor that has a BIG impact on intelligence.

[msc545]

Nope.

[msc545]

Technically, barring trauma or disease, IQ does not change significantly over one's life.

[KrakenAttackin]

This research has been done. Asians are #1 with whites at #2. Blacks are at the bottom of the intelligence list. Not racist, just facts.

[Anonymous]

I am a white, and I voted for Asian. Statistics show on average Asians have a higher IQ.

[msc545]

This is very controversial. Statistics also show that hispanics and blacks have lower IQ's than whites, but all of this may be an artifact of the test construction and/or experimenter bias or other factors not specific to the different groups. Worse, you really cannot study these questions without being subjected to heavy criticism.

[asshole_]

There is no "superior race"

[Asker]

Who said anything about superior? I'm just asking about intelligence.

[asshole_]

Who's the more intelligent race

That's like saying, who's the superior race
