Why Do IQ Scores Vary By Nation?

[Avatard]

Turns out, it isn't race...it isn't even nutrition.

Disease...

Interesting.

Washington has a terminal case

Probably not focused on learning when you're worried about dying...

MSMBC will do anything to be PC.

Maybe the disease is a direct correlation of how stupid the nation is....and not the other way around.

You = Wrong again

1) It's not MSNBC (or even MBC, as you put it)
2) It's from Newsweek, and
3) It's reprinted from the Associated Press

The study is from a UNIVERSITY.

Don't speak up...at least you might be assumed to be intelligent by some, and given the benefit of the doubt.

Why go and remove all doubt?

If you want your study to come out a certain way, it will.

This isn't rocket science....the less civilzed nations have inferior governments for which buisnesses cannot survive. Since this is the case, healthcare is non-existant. The less civilized nations are by IQ standards less intelligent then fully developed first world nations. If I have to constantly worry if someone is going to kill me, where my next meal is going to come from or how to get clean water, Calculus is pretty much on even on the same page.

And FWIW...Newsweek is as liberal as MSNBC...and with most Universites. They pander to the minories because it is the PC thing to do.

Dude, every time you chime in, you're either wrong or totally irrelevant. It was a US University (New Mexico), and you really need to read BEFORE saying something stupid. I have no doubt that you will STILL probably say something stupid, but at least try to be RELEVANT, and READ FIRST.

Also, please explain how identifying the vector responsible for lower IQ as being disease is somehow "pandering to minories [sic]".

Better yet, don't. Just tell us what disease is responsible for YOUR IQ.

Better still, stay outta my threads.

Typically the one who says "you're not too bright" on the Internet is actually the one who is not too bright.

I'll agree that a diseased nation will not have the learning capacity as one which is healthly, but in no way do they prove that race has nothing to do with intelligence.

You're right, and I had already edited that.

No need for me to stoop down, I apologize for calling attention to your intelligence (or lack thereof), now stay outta my threads.
