Let's stop the talk of IQ test in comparing populations. The test is completely superficial and completely irrelevant to the success of any population.

An individual decided to bring up "IQ tests" in a previous thread of mine, so I decided to google, "quick IQ test." I clicked on the first link and it was an IQ test from Memorado. I completed the quick test in 15-20 minutes. Apparently I'm 95% smarter than the population. I call SNOPES on all IQ tests after seeing this result. Not because I don't think I'm smart, but because folks assert that, "IQ is hereditary." The questions on this test can be learned. I don't know who lied to anyone, but it seems that this IQ test is a way for people to put an aura of superiority over others when there is none in fact at all. It's laughable. Take the test, post your results, and we can talk about how much of a fake and superficial measure of intelligence this is. Mine are attached.

Definitely easier than other IQ tests I've done in the past, but fairly accurate. Usually I get 125 to 135.
But can we agree, although may accurate, this this is an insubstantial measure of intelligence...

People with high IQs are good at figuring things out
People with high IQs did not vote for Obama or Romney

Sure, an Internet IQ test is superficial. The person who brought up IQ in your other thread was saying that Jewish people on average have higher IQs than even East Asians. It is a fact that Jewish people hold more patents than any other group as a whole. And it is a fact that 1 in 6 East Asians have genius level IQs. It doesn't mean that other groups aren't smart or innovative. I think black people as a group are very innovative. As you say, they created America's only original form of music in jazz. They created blues, and rock and roll, rap music, and there are many inventors.

High IQ people create new devices and solve problems....it's good they are around to make the world a better place. What is your point OP? If you haven't seen Idiocracy, then you need to see what is going to happen when the dummies get control of everything which is currently an ongoing process we are witnessing.
