Seriously, I don't understand what you're getting at here. I mean, who in the real world actually gives a damn about average IQ scores? Sure, they might have some kind of weight to real life matters, but who really looks to something like that when it comes to making big decisions like who should be let into a country or not?<br /><br />Like hell I'd want to live in a world like that, where my intelligence determines if I have a chance to leave my war-ridden so I can look for a better life.<br /><br />I'm sorry, but fuck that shit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-79236680039322457612016-11-25T02:26:37.664+00:002016-11-25T02:26:37.664+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.snoopy456https://www.blogger.com/profile/00006290566850031248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-40816851685953756652016-08-25T19:35:49.413+01:002016-08-25T19:35:49.413+01:00Sex differences are a contentious issue, but it se...Sex differences are a contentious issue, but it seems likely that boys are a little ahead of girls, and men ahead of women. There will be a new paper by Richard Lynn, with commentaries from others, published soon.

When immigrants get into puberty earlier I will assume that the difference will increase when you in older age groups.

Race is irrelevant. <br /><br />The factors that decides the IQ is surely the culture, and the education and upbringing, both by parents and by formal school. <br /><br />Since the poorest backward nations, say due to restrictive religions, or a general lack of education, progress, and general knowledge available in the population, this will naturally affect the general IQ of the population of that nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-11756528167017224952015-10-17T06:18:23.548+01:002015-10-17T06:18:23.548+01:00Nonsense.

"Intelligence," as observed by many leading researchers in the matter (I can cite studies produced at both MIT and Harvard) is not agreed upon, and virtually every definition is different than every other. IQ is far, far more dangerous, as it was NEVER meant to be equated with intelligence (which we have no way of defining), and the dangers of doing so were espoused its creators, as well as just about everyone who has "developed" the test since. Also, researchers at many of the world's most prestigious universities CANNOT DEFINE ethnic groups or "races," other than to offer one actual truth: they do not exist. That is, "white" was invented at the end of the 17th century as a means artificial definition. Latino was invented in the 70s. It was never used before then. And try--TRY!--to find some way to group all of the complexity and diversity within, let's say, Argentina, into one "ethnic" group. It's insane, and thinking people know it's insane. This is a dangerous website, and it is based on defunct and dangerous assumptions, particularly those that go under the label "social darwinism" and the like.
