IQ tests/scores aren't really a good measure of intelligence. Most highly educated people know this.
What is your point with this statement anyways?
They are a good measure of intelligence. However, using AVERAGES between countries (or races, or any other groupings) for comparison is STUPID, because the variations are HIGHER INSIDE THE GROUPS THAN BETWEEN THEM.
Sorry for going off topic, but general intelligence does exist, does predict things about INDIVIDUALS and I'm against its demonization. Key word is INDIVIDUALS, of course.

It's demonized for the simple fact that IQ tests don't measure it well. They measure knowledge, not the capacity to reason or learn.
Lol. On another post in the Americas page she displays her 'knowledge' on how there has been very little Spanish migration to Mexico.
I don't know why people insist on pretending to have knowledge about places.
I can't rep you again.
I know a girl from Northern Mexico that insists that she's not white/European despite glaring European features. I'm not sure she even knows about the Spanish.

Than she's dumb Northern Mexico in the colonial are was once a white man country of full blooded Spaniards and few mestizos.
Although Mr. Arellano disagrees with me, even he can not get away from the fact that in 1810 there were 1,107,367 full-blooded Spaniards, as opposed to only 704,245 mestizos. In other words, the mestizos were significantly less than the criollos, concurring with what the census records of Northern New Spain show. The same criollo to mestizo rate would be true in 1793, but in 1793 the mulattos and others were counted among the mestizos. Clearly, however, the mestizos were less than the criollos. But 1,107,367 full blooded Spaniards in 1810 and 1,095,000 in 1793 are

Well, it's kind of complicated. Just because you look very White in Mexico doesn't mean you have 'direct' European lineage, though it definitely exists. For example, one of my best friends from Baja California is blonde (natural), blue eyed and super tall. She doesn't even know how far back her European heritage goes and what it is.
But, there are also many who have direct heritage and they know what it is. I have at least 3 Mexican friends from northern Mexico with Spanish grandparents, they even have unique last names, one is Roji. Some other friend's last names are Ptacnik and Ayub, non-Hispanic last names. My co-worker's last names are Percevault and Adissi. These names and many others have history in Mexico.
Northern Mexico and Mexico in general are more diverse than people realize, and its indigenous populations are very diverse as well.
Being Mexican is fascinating the European ancestry is predominant in Northern Mexico while central split of both and South Mexico is mostly native.
So that's explains why a lot Mexicans look Caucasian I look iberian but I'm sure I have indigenous ancestry.
