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

It allows for more abstract thinking. Is not going to be the absolute factor behind a person's intelligence and success in life though.

No and no. Stop using your race to claim superiority despite your own underachievement.

It will if the difference is 17 points, or 13 points.

These are Flynn datas. He invented the score for 104 countries and did tests on small and non representative groups.

I don't see intellectual differences between white peoples and North Africans in France, when you take in consideration social economical factors. My story contradicts the "muslim invader meme". I always had algerian friends during my childhood because they were like me, good students and interested in stuffs like science, books, video games, animes and weird things. They were also very calm, loyal, and kind to me. They used to think a lot and be open minded. Aaah I am happy they existed, otherwise I would have hated my childhood.

It's a trash fire. Different graphs can't even agree with each other using the same data. Especially on the African estimates.

Your source for instance says Nigeria IQ is 69, mine says 84. I'm more inclined to believe the 84 because their population clearly shows higher performance levels than black South Africa which is 77 IQ. Your source also says African Americans have 27% white admixture, my source (second link) says 24% instead.

The entire thing is stupid.

Thanks to your pic related, I got you.

It would be interesting to get a real study about it. IQ is, howevrr, not a good measure, but the less bad, probably, at the moment. Also, I see no reason to think that there wouldn't be any difference of intelligence between "races" given the fact that there are many other differences between populations.

The graph you linked is exactly the same as OP's.
