Mismeasurement of the Somali

[Xasusi]

68 IQ is because its the average of the

140 IQ somali success story and the 30 IQ somali criminal. We have more criminals so it has a positive skew towards the low IQ side.

Unironically a well nuritions and developed somali society would probably average around 90IQ. Not as smart on average as the Chinese.

 

[Yonis]

Anyone got the 2019 stats on both those schools

 

[Mehdi Hassan]

What do you think of this info? I think average Somali IQ may be above 90 if any of this data is to be believed. In the diaspora that is, it is for sure very low in Somalia.

That is still pathetic. An IQ maybe above 90? Disgraceful.

Why would you believe that? Somalis aren't inherently intellectually inferior to the Chinese.

Y’all are savages, how can you match an ethnicity with IQ. Put the well performing asians in the exact same place as the africans, and you will figure out that ethnicity has zero input. However the true way of determine an nations IQ is to investigate the circumstances of the individuals.

I don't think you understand how different a population with an IQ of 90 is from a population with an average IQ of 70. It is the difference between a gdp per capita of $15,000 vs $1,500.

So still not very good?

y’all don’t believe IQ is a genuine form of measuring intelligence right?

And to say an IQ of 90 under economic prosperity would be to insinuate intellectual inferiority to other ethnic groups, such as the Chinese for example "not as smart as the Chinese though" and why would that be?

@borednibba9 National average IQ simply tells you what the economic potential of a nation is. If a nation is badly run, it will achieve only a portion of that potential. North Korea has a very high average IQ and yet it is starving.

@a y a n IQ predicts very well at the national level, IQ is very good for group level comparisons. It has some predictive power at the individual level, but it is not very significant.

Not all of us believe in stereotypes on a scientific level. Come on dude @Thegoodshepherd

How can you even know the average IQ in a country like North Korea?? I also highly doubt they do, about 40% of the population is malnourished. IQ is intended as a measurement of individual intellect, to say one ethnicity will have a lower IQ on average than another would be to insinuate inherent intellectual inferiority regardless of how you try to sugarcoat it with nice words. Somewhat predictive on the individual level? So now you've said an individual's IQ can be predicted solely by their ethnicity. No scientist has ever made such an egregious claim. In fact they have a consensus that race or ethnicity is not behind IQ differences, but quality of education primarily, among other things. You appear to have an inferiority complex. You disgust me.

IQ itself doesn’t even measure general intelligence properly, using it to compare others isn’t the smartest move

Why a high IQ doesn't mean you're smart

IS GEORGE W. BUSH stupid? It's a question that occupied a good many minds of all political persuasions during his turbulent eight-year presidency. The strict answer is no. Bush's IQ score is estimated to be above 120, which suggests an intelligence in the top 10 per cent of the population. But...

If you’re smart you’d know iq is bullshit

I am happy I have seen this there are some schools being built by some family and associates of mine I will try and get a tour of Abaarso and other high end schools in Nairobi I know and try and see what sets them apart from the rest of Somalis.

I predict a boarding school is more beneficial in Somalia as you can control many variables that will effect the child.

can we get this sticky plz

Great thread

Anybody that believed in that 68 iq garbage has an iq of 68

Intelligence has nothing to do with race it’s all about the resources, environment and routine
