Talk:IQ and Global Inequality

Request to add back the list of I.Q scores
Honestly, I don't see the commonsense or logic to add an map showing "I.Q statistics from 2002" which is less informative than the list ( that someone removed) which already showed way better and accurate information that displays the number of I.Q scores in each countries from 2002. And their both basically the same thing, only difference is the list was way more accurate and informative on statistics. How exactly do we know which country has the highest I.Q to lowest I.Q? please stop vandalism and reducing accurate information. (And sorry for my english).

Legend inconsistency on world IQ map
There is now an SVG version available https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:World-iq-map-lynn-2006.svg of the map with the following improvements: Olivello (talk) 07:27, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) it leaves countries that are not estimated in the book flagged as NA
 * 2) the legend is consistent (one bucket is missing it the PNG version)


 * I have added your information in the Wikicommons page. I will replace the PNG version with your SVG version in the article. Veverve (talk) 23:08, 18 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Serbia and Montenegro did not exist at the time of the study yet they were given 93 as if they were? The article goes by equal to or great than which makes sense as 5 number intervals. Yet the map itself uses greater than 85, or greater than 90? 74.101.190.2 (talk) 23:43, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

Map inaccurate by Lynn and Vanhanen in their book IQ and Global Inequality.
Croatia for example is Average IQ 90 yet is depicted as equal to or greater than 85 green as apposed to b light blue for equal to or greater than 90. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.101.190.2 (talk) 23:41, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Fixed the legend. Veverve (talk) 23:53, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Also based on the 2006 study Serbia is 89 and Bosnia is 90. https://books.google.fr/books?hl=fr&id=rA8RAQAAIAAJ&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=Serbia


 * Also, the same researchers published a 2012 followup called Intelligence that updates IQ scores with correction found in the previous years. https://lesacreduprintemps19.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/intelligence-a-unifying-construct-for-the-social-sciences-richard-lynn-and-tatu-vanhanen.pdf 74.101.190.2 (talk) 02:16, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Croatia
Pick another card, because this one is absolute rubbish!

Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen used IQ tests of children aged between 13 and 16 years old from 1952. Very reputable both of them. Later they had to correct their data. Unfortunately, this information has already been spread by equally dubious authors in several books, for whatever reason. Now is the Average iq for Croatia 99.

At least 7 Croats are among the 200 most intelligent people in the world. IQ Score: 192, 183, 180, 174, 163, 160, 151

Approximately 7 from Germany - 182 He is Turk not even a German, 165, 158, 156, 156, 153, 147

Approximatly 5 from France - 162, 158, 154, 150, 141

Approximatly 7 from the United Kingdom - 171, 167, 163, 153, 148, 144, 135

Approximatly 38 from Japan

Approximatly 30 from China

Approximatly 14 from Korea

Approximatly 21 from Italy

Four Croats have a higher IQ than the highest IQ-Score for Germany (182 is a Turk) and the United Kingdom and even five Croats have a higher IQ than the highest IQ-Score for France. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.25.6.141 (talk) 12:54, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
