What do you think about the drastic differences in IQ among populations?

[Anonymous]

Average iq of Morocco: 65

of the Congo: 59

of Nicaragua: 55

of Arabia: 81

of China: 103

of Finland: 101

of Italy: 95

of Germany: 100

Some groups of people are smarter than others

The tests are rigged

a study on Arabians IQ I'm reading says "the golden era of Arabian scholarship doesn't make sense unless Arabian hybridization decreased our average IQ" LMAO. they know they're retarded

[Syntosi]

I dont particularly care. IQ is not an objective measurement of intelligence and has a known racial bias. Specifically, it was designed to test on people with European culture and is not "calibrated" to other cultures. Either way, its a flawed and limited attempt to measure actual intelligence that should not be taken too seriously.

[Asker]

what psychologists can you name that share that opinion of yours

[Asker]

and why haven't they made a new iq test calibrated to the Congo, so they can be 100 iq too

[Asker]

better yet why doesn't one of the super smart 55 iq Congolese make one... or at least stand up and say raping a woman isn't a sign of being a man. man you're so delusional

[Syntosi]

What psychologist? All of them? It is actually widely accepted and recognized since like 50 years ago. We still use it within psychology since it can be a somewhat reliable tool regardless but professionals do not rely upon the results to be factual. They are more like guidelines than anything.

Why have they not made IQ tests calibrated to Congo? Why would you continue to develop the IQ system when you already know it is flawed? Besides, if you make an IQ test that is calibrated for Congo then it would not work for Europeans and you can't compare the two anyways since its like comparing apples to oranges at that point.

If you dont believe me then just look this up. Takes like 30 seconds to google it and go to the wikipedia page or whatever.

[Asker]

ok with 30 seconds of research i found out modern IQ tests have no cultural bias. next.

[Syntosi]

You are really bad at researching.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient

"A 2005 study found that "differential validity in prediction suggests that the WAIS-R test may contain cultural influences that reduce the validity of the WAIS-R as a measure of cognitive ability for Mexican American students"

[Asker]

yeah my research said modern tests are cultural unbiased and strive to provide and accurate representation of a persons overall cognitive ability

[Syntosi]

... None of what you said actually means they are an accurate representation of a persons overall cognitive ability. A fat man at a gym strives to be a body builder. Striving towards something does not mean that you are even close to achieving it. And no, IQ is inherently biased. It is a flaw in its entire methodology and can't just be "fixed" as such, not to mention that it only even attempts to measure a tiny part of human intelligence.

Biological racism? At least you could stay on the legal side of things, like just practice, you know, standard racism, illegal aliens and stuff. But no, you're wilder, pushing it to pseudoscience 😂

This platform is wild, but you are a true gem, congratulations.

[Kelley1]

Almost everyone with a high level of intelligence knows that there is a significant and measurable difference in the IQs of the different races. However, in the US and some other countries, for political, they will claim that is not true. They know they are lying.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

IQ tests have been proven to be biased to specific groups, mainly european ones.

[Asker]

how? don't they just test verbal, mathematical and spatial fluency? if they were truly rigged, you wouldn't have a spatial aspect of IQ, which every human should naturally be good at if they're naturally smart

[Asker]

have you eger been around Latinos or blacks? genuinely? east Asians? Germans? there's a clear difference. very clear. the one thing you can say about Latinos and blacks is they seem to be quicker thinking. that's why they talk faster than their mouth can move and their language sounds like gibberish

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Your racism ruins any point in talking to you

[Asker]

see you aren't logical. if it hurts you that bad to talk about things that you disagree with then what you believe to be true is necessarily make believe to make you feel better

IQ isn't a good measure of intelligence

a broke Sudanese man who knows there are 2 genders and can survive in the jungle is still smarter than an upper-class white American feminist who thinks math is racist and can't cook food to save her life

[Asker]

wdym by survive in a jungle? are you implying smart people can't be wild too? or European intelligence is due to being pussies? what's your point?

[Opinion Owner]

nope. my point is not all areas of intelligence is equal

[Asker]

there's no other magical area of intelligence outside IQ

[Opinion Owner]

IQ is based on a test that has no real world applications. some people don't need an IQ test for us to know they're smart

[Asker]

the point of an IQ test is to measure your actual intelligence. If it isn't a good test why haven't there been other tests made? give me a break. the reality is you dont like the idea some people are stupid. Hey i might be stupid, i probably am, i dont give a shit

[exitseven]

people evolved at different rates by geographical location. There really is a lot of stupidity in the world.

[Asker]

common sense. people need thicker skin. facts are facts

[Flower7]

Interesting. I guess the IQ in those areas gets passed down through their genes and continues.

[KostasKouvalis]

It only confirms what I already knew from my own observations

[DrPepper12]

IQ tests have been discredited for almost a century! GMAB 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Anonymous]

IQ tests have long been tossed out
