That so called IQ distribution map of the world has actually been reproduced out of context on wikipeadia.

It comes from a website that has the map as showing the so called IQ levels of world populations pre European immigration. It is an INDIGENOUS focused on.

Not that I agree with it although of course the Japanese are fond of flaunting their high IQs but there are no satisfactory ways for determining them unless you were to have a standard test under standard conditions for people of certain educational levels across the world.

Wikipaedia should take that down. It is misleading anyway and it does not reproduce the original intent of the original website - much as I think t hat website does not prove anything.

Unless you were to provide some context or there's some that I missed somewhere, what are you on about? Smile

As far as IQ tests go, dubious things in and of themselves as far as the vernacular tests are concerned, but things like CIP/WIP and various others (5F, ACPI/S, etc) are statistically valid models for relative ranking across population groups.
