Someone just fucked up the coloring when making this map. Pic related is what it should really look like.

>- why should there be a difference between UK and Ireland?
This has been attributed to brain drain of Irish immigrant to the US

Can we finally have a thread about national IQs? Are they valid measures or just racist garbage?
Discuss.

>South Africa (77) is vermillion like Tanzania, but should be a solid orange like Mauritania.
>The color coding is made out to be discrete, but is clearly continuous.
>There's a gap on the colour coding from 101-105.
>the average score of "above average" (100+) countries is 104.6, throwing in India alone brings this down to 95.3. The central tendency is clearly nowhere near 100, and so the numbers evidently weren't tabulated correctly.
Congrats, you've been duped by a crappy MS paint chart that someone pulled out of thin air.

This maps correlates pretty well with the geography that for the most part certain races occupy

Yes.

What does /sci/ think about Race & IQ controversy? Is IQ good measure of intelligence? Are some races more intelligent than others?

we need to make a poll about this

You know why.

We may never know

Hmmmm

To deal with the colder winters and scarcer food supply of Europe and Northeast Asia, the Oriental and White races moved away from an r-strategy toward the K-strategy. This meant more parenting and social organization, which required a larger brain size and a higher IQ.

Hogwash. Please stop spreading misinformation, you're starting to sound religious.

IQ is a predictor of academic success and wealth, not the other way around.
IQ is five or more times as powerful a predictor as even good personality trait predictors such as conscientiousness. The true relationship between grades, for example, and IQ might be as high as r = .50 or even .60 (accounting for 25-36% of the variance in grades). Conscientiousness, however, probably tops out at around r = .30, and is more typically reported as r = .25 (say, 5 to 9% of the variance in grades). There is nothing that will provide you with a bigger advantage in life than a high IQ. Nothing. To repeat it: NOTHING.
In fact, if you could choose to be born at the 95th percentile for wealth, or the 95th percentile for IQ, you would be more successful at age 40 as a consequence of the latter choice.

Racial segregation IS effectively IQ segregation desu
