And it is a fact that majority Muslim countries have low mean IQs, Regardless of Templemans agenda, this is fact. How do you measure the IQ of a population, Ian? I'm curious. You are allegedly an intelligent man. Take an educated guess. An estimate? go on then. That's my answer, Ian. Its the wrong answer, but keep trying.  How do you discover the average IQ of a country like India, Ian? Or Afghanistan? Please tell me the right answer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nations_and_intelligence Oh, I see. Quote:The 1981 article "Average IQ values in various European countries" by Vinko Buj is the only international IQ study that has compared IQs using the same IQ test over a short time period. It was probably completed in the 1970s and compared the capital cities or biggest towns in 21 European countries and Ghana.[2]
Researchers believe the data from this study are of dubious quality: except for a two-page-long publication, nothing about the study detail nor the author is known. The author didn't even work at a university.[3] However, according to the Croatian newspaper website Slobodna Dalmacija, Vinko Buj spent many years in training in Germany, specializing in clinical (medical) psychology in 1977, and later received his doctorate of psychological sciences at the University of Hamburg.[4] Nevertheless, the data yielded correlations with student assessment studies of only around -.10 to .07. Hence, the figures in the study do not seem to be ideal for studies on differences within Europe.[5]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nations_and_intelligence#IQ_of_various_European_co... You should have taken time to read the article more thoroughly, if you had you would have realised you focused on the criticism of the only IQ test which compared European countries and 1 African . regardless, IQ variations are accepted as fact by the scientific community, the only debate is to why they exist. So try harder. Im not going to enter a debate as to whether they exist, thats been done and dusted any number of times. And if you dont know that then you shouldnt even be approaching this subject. So how are nations tested? why dont you just read the article if you dont know this stuff? Quote:n the 2002 book IQ and the Wealth of Nations, and the 2006 book IQ and Global Inequality, Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen created estimates of average IQs for 113 nations and estimated the IQs of 79 other nations based on neighboring nations and other manners. They also created an estimate of "quality of human conditions" for each nation based on gross national product per capita, adult literacy rate, the fraction of the population enrolled in secondary education, life expectancy, and rate of democratization. Lynn and Vanhanen found a substantial correlation between the national IQ scores they created and these various socioeconomic factors. They conclude that national IQ influences these measures of well-being and that national differences in IQ are heavily influenced by genetics, although they also allow for some environmental contributions. They regard nutrition as the most important environmental factor, and education a secondary factor.[6]
Though the collection has been praised as "landmark" by Rindermann,[7] the books and their argument have been roundly criticized on methodological and analytical grounds: for some countries, test samples were very small or unrepresentative, different tests were used by different researchers conducting the test surveys, measurements of intelligence stem from different years (although the authors tried to correct this), and missing data was estimated by using unweighted arithmetic means used for neighboring countries with similar people.[7][8][9][10][11]
In a 2010 paper, Lynn updated his estimates of national IQs from IQ and Global Inequality and presented new estimated national IQs for 25 countries, which had previously only been estimated from neighboring nations.[12] Lynn and Vanhanen updated their estimates again in the 2013 book Intelligence: A Unifying Construct for the Social Sciences.[13]
International student assessment studies[edit]
Regarding several methodology issues of IQ and the Wealth of Nations, Hunt and Wittmann compared contemporary educational data from the Program for International Student Assessment with national wealth. They concluded that Lynn and Vanhanen's empirical conclusion is correct, but they questioned the simple explanation that national intelligence causes national wealth.[14]
In 2010, Lynn and Meisenberg integrated all the international studies of
