Since we have had discussions about IQ and race on this forum before, and of course it's obvious there are multiple and various forms of intelligence, which again the European albinos conveniently ignore for their self-serving views, I thought to post this:
quote: IQ Is A Myth: Intelligence Has At Least Three Components
One number does not accurately describe a person’s thinking skills, a study concludes.
The idea that intelligence can be captured in one number is very misleading, psychologists have argued.
Many thousands used 12 different cognitive tests in a recent study.
People’s reasoning, attention, planning, lifestyles and backgrounds were probed.
Professor Adrian M. Owen, one of the study’s authors, said:
“The uptake was astonishing. We expected a few hundred responses, but thousands and thousands of people took part, including people of all ages, cultures and creeds from every corner of the world.”
People’s thinking skills could not be successfully described with one number, the researchers found.
Instead they found at least three components of intelligence:
-Short-term memory. -Reasoning. -Verbal ability.
Brains scans showed that distinct abilities mapped on to specific circuits in the brain.
The researchers also discovered some factors which did and did not affect intelligence.
Professor Owen said:
“Regular brain training didn’t help people’s cognitive performance at all yet aging had a profound negative effect on both memory and reasoning abilities.”
Not all the news was bad, though, said Dr Adam Hampshire, the study’s first author:
“Intriguingly, people who regularly played computer games did perform significantly better in terms of both reasoning and short-term memory.
And smokers performed poorly on the short-term memory and the verbal factors, while people who frequently suffer from anxiety performed badly on the short-term memory factor in particular.”
Despite being so popular, intelligence tests have faced a barrage of criticism since their inception.
One problem is that IQ tests don’t take culture into account.
A recent study, for example, gave IQ tests to Morroccan and Spanish people (Fasfous et al., 2013).
This showed that the results depended on where people came from.
Most psychologists would agree, though, that people whose cognitive skills are better in one area are also generally better in others.
Purely academic arguments aside, though, the real question is: what are IQ tests being used for?
If they are used as one of a number of indicators of a person’s abilities, then perhaps they can be useful.
If a single number comes to stand for a person’s whole worth, though, then that is a very serious mistake.
The study was published in the journal Neuron (Hampshire et al., 2012).

I won't say that IQ is a myth. I would say that it is a combination of nature and nurture.
But it does leave out a lot. Yet the 3 highest IQs in the world are Hong Kong, South Korea, and Japan. In the West, Jews have scored the highest IQs for a long time.
Yet India scores 80 on IQ tests, Iran 83, Iraq 84, Mexico 84. AAs score 91 post 1970s(see Dickens and Flynn, 2006).
The highest IQs in the West are those of physicists, mathematicians and philosophers--much higher than that of a boxer. Yet the boxer could knock them out easily.
Maybe there are just different kinds of intelligence.

IQ as a means of measuring intellect is obviously baseless and without much backing and support. People at ES have already debunked IQ. IQ is highly dependent on affluence, wealth, irrelevant knowledge, and metrics that are highly irrelevant and have no practical real life value.
For example, the Western European IQ was in the double digits centuries ago, and so were many European immigrants in America. Yet this changed with better affluence of them over generations and access to better academic resources. While there were times when Blacks outperformed these supposed high IQ western people's in the past, because they had access and equal opportunity to their albino euro counter parts and a normal good culture....

The IQ's of India and many other nations are falsely represented by the people who take the global IQ surveys; and the IQ's of East Asians nations are false.
East Asian countries like China, corrupt and distort their IQ samples by only selecting well performing or well off school districts and then leaving out their massive peasant populations with double digit IQ's out of these surveys. They also have their students practice tests like the IQ test before they take these global surveys thus shifting the results unfairly.
The real mongoloid IQ is very low and is in the double digits, this can be seen in the mongoloid nations that are not well off, and don't resort to such measures. Like the Tibetan or Uighyur or Bhutanese IQ samples which is double digits.
Ash Jews also lie and cheat about their IQ scores and they falsely overstate their IQ scores routinely all the time; just like they falsely promote their own kind without merit in day to day life.
Also there is no way that a country like India can have double digit IQ scores, since India historically was the most advanced civilization in mathematics of all ancient world civilizations, and they were the first to create college and university systems in the entire world and most of modern mathematics is basically Indian, as well as much of science. The Indian IQ scores do not show the state and class in India these IQ scores were from. Same with Iran.....
IQ is largely a fraudulent measure of supposed intelligence, and this has been proved various times in threads posted in this forum already to death.

Those who oppose the truth often see it as propaganda.
Harvard once instituted a numerus clausus against Jews because they were acing the SATs more than any other group. The high IQ scores of the Jews were reflected in their SAT scores. Yet the IQ score of Israel is 94--no doubt reflecting the fact that most Israeli Jews are not Ashkenazi.
The highest IQs in the world are from Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan--with urban China not far behind.
Hence, non-East Asian American students at Berkeley always check to see how many East Asians are in a class before signing up. Apocryphal or not?

I have already debunked the claim that these Mongoloid nations have the highest IQ in the world due to natural inclinations and a false presumptions of correlation equating to causation.
In reality, the vast majority of Mongoloids are not high IQ people, and the mongoloid Asians in the West are select and biased samples not representative of their mainstream populations.
But even then, most East Asian contributions to America and Western nations really isn't remarkable, at least compared to other also select groups. Educated African immigrants were recently found to outscore both East Asians and Eastern European immigrants to Western countries.
But hey, obvious albino mole Lamin is obviously going to ignore reality and contrary evidence, and pick and choose what he likes in order to confirm his own ignorant views.....

You are a fool not to know that on the PISA tests East Asian scores at home correlate with those abroad. The populations for immigrant blacks and local blacks are much different in numbers and socioeconomic differences explain much of the data.

No I am the only ones with brains here, dumbass the East Asian immigrants travelling to Western countries, are the select and affluent, especially the ones travelling to Western countries. You need money to come countries like America, hence a heavy selection bias of East Asian immigrants to the US.
There are at least a billion Mongoloid gooks, and there are more then there are other groups at the moment, however; because of this a small percentage of their populations having a high IQ slants and makes it seem as though they really do have a high IQ when they selectively sample their population in IQ surveys to hide the vast majority of low IQ masses of their pop.
However that also means there are millions s and million s of low IQ mongoloids not being tested or shown on these surveys. And sure enough, this shows in mongoloid countries like Bhutan, and in regions like Tibet, the Central Asian states, and Xinjiang.
Nice try Lamin, but you made yourself look like a dumbass there....
