It isn't... there is more the one method for calculating averages of IQ.

It isn't... there is more the one method for calculating averages of IQ.

There's different tests which attempt to measure it (mostly inaccurately). That is not the same as having different methods of calculation.

My comment wasn't on how high a country's IQ is in comparison with a larger population, but on: "Depends on the method used to calculate average, it's not always 50% at all"

Umm are you a moron? Funnily enough in every single nation on this earth there is a large porportion of people under the average IQ. Why almost 50%!!

thing is nothing is said how the average IQ is determined (based on the single nation or on a larger population).
Allthough I guess I misunderstood Jeeves, as as far as I know the idea is that 100 IQ is the average of the population, so any method or whatever should get 100 IQ (as you said) as the average.

Lol? And where does this come from?

I searched a number of sites, unfortunately I couldn't find a site that listed IQ stats by country, so I went to individual testing sites for places. This is the one I got for the European countries which I listed the lowest 7.

I also found this..
With the overall lowest IQ being places in Africa.
This is the top 16

I'd like to know where those sites get these results from.

I completely agree with you on your post. As an American, of course I find things said here insulting. But as a European daoc player, I am pretty used to the anti American atmosphere. I find most of the things said here, and in the American post, pretty narrow minded and down right unintelligent. Some of these people have no common sense and in America, I would refer to them as trailer park trash. ( I am sure even Europeans have some sort of lower class term )

I have been exposed to all sorts of people around the globe, due to my former job and from just being a part of the European daoc community for almost 4 years, and in my experience I have found that Europeans (mostly British) are very negative and aggressive towards Americans. I haven't heard so many anti comments since I drove through Georgia's KKK district in the South.

I am not claiming Americans are the best, or that our country surpasses yours in particular fields. We have corruption in our government just like any other country, we have uneducated people with low IQ's just like anywhere else. To say that overall, America is this or that is just pathetic and unfounded. I do however, love the fact we live in a society where freedom of speech is allowed, so I just try to over look those who are using their freedom of speech, yet are lacking in the intelligence department.

If the Iraq thread was closed, so should the American bashing one. Lets not show favoritism here and post and moderate on common grounds.

you dont need brits to slag of america, leave that to michael moore.

I feel sorry for the 49% of americans who voted for kerry my gawd - we feel fustrated with Bush here, trying being a democrat in the us, shit they got the puppet as a president ! ( ok we got blair - vote lib dem next time, tis the only way !)
