What do you guys think the average IQ of Somalia is?

[Khaem]

I thought consanguineous marriages were uncommon in somalia unlike other muslim countries, or am I wrong?

Idk what tuulo this nigga comes from.
Somalis don't do inbreeding. Lots of westerners like to use inbreeding and cousin marriage as an insult cause we're muslims like Pakistani and arabs who do it but somalis mostly don't have that type of culture.

 

[El Nino]

The notorious 68 IQ of course. Somalis are the least intelligent race after australian aboriginals.

Does it hurt that even after saying the most outrageous shit, you don’t receive attention. Every day you try to rile up somalis, everyday you fail. Sad existence I must say.

We had hydrolic engineering in Ajuuran and sending diplomat Siad of Mogadishu to China who translated chinese works into Somali, the first African language to do so, whilst you were dying of tset tset fly in some jungle in Central Africa don't call me french.

Somalis were in organised empires fighting with guns and canons in 1500s whilst you fought the white man with spears and animal skin in 1880s don't speak on our name like that.

You retarded incel. I asked you to name one invention. Just one. And you couldn't. Muh diplomats muh hydraulic engineerings . Where is the hydraulic engineering in 2023 ?? Stop the cap nigga.

Historically our ancestors weren’t very fond of cousin marriages. Even travelers who lived amongst Somalis noted this. Burton mentions this as well.

Those hydraulic engineers weren't even ethnic Somalis lol. Somalis can't even build a simple dam in Somalia to store and provide water for their population. On the contrary, Kenya and Ethiopia have numerous dams that provide essential services for their people. Stop the utter nonsense, sxb.

IQ is probably one of the most solid and tested metrics within psychology. The “IQ is pseudoscience” train just began because some findings are “raycis"

Then I assume you'll be all ghillied up and joyfully comfortable on that train when you find out what those IQ findings have to say about your people in particular.

As a ‘Somali’ person why are you going back and forth with someone to shit on your ‘people’.

Whether we were able to build this or that is besides the point. Let’s hope we can come
together and build in the present.

@HabarSteven12

Why would you give me a thumbs down over a historical fact? Historically and I’m talking a hundred years ago, Somali nomads weren’t fond of cousin marriages. It simply didn’t benefit them since they often use to use marriage as a way to bring peace with other clans they had issues with.

You are mischaracterizing my statements. I wish Khair for Somalia. I am just stating facts and refuting the nonsense Idrus is peddling. He is being intellectually dishonest by attributing the hydraulic engineers of the Ajuran Sultanate to ethnic Somalis. I pray Somalia attains everlasting peace and prosperity.

Your last statement is true. Nomads would sometimes marry outside their clan to bring peace and harmony between the warring clans. Nomads are often competing with each other over scarce resources in the desert because of their utility for survival in Somalia's harsh environment. That would lead to deadly clashes. But many Somali clans practiced first-cousin marriages to preserve their clan identity and grow their clan's manpower. You stated that a traveler noted that Somalis rarely practice cousin marriages. Can you please provide an academic or historical source for your statement? What was the name of the traveler? I removed my dislike button.

You made a statement where is the actual reference to this fact?

All you have done so far since you joined has been making "refutations" and statements that are all based off just your own opinions being past off as facts and anyone who challenges you must be an incel abdi

Don't talk on anything you don't know much about and pass it off as "facts" bring references and then we can accept your facts.

@kulane no somali or normally person in general is actually in the 60s iq wise because actual animals are within that range. The fact we can communicate coherently and speak multiple languages puts everyone above that.

Africans have lower IQ on average. That’s not news to me. Anyone who has sat down in a Popeye’s can attest to this

 

[Jun]

By the way most sources that says african IQ is in the 60s/70s comes from the alt-right white supremacist Richad Lynn who cherrypicked IQ studies to push his own agenda. He used an IQ test carried out in the Belgian Congo in the 1950s on an illiterate tribe and puts it alongside a modern 2000s IQ test for China. For Equatorial Guinea his source is an IQ test done on an asylum for retarded kids in Spain. He dismisses more modern IQ tests done on Africans which give much higher results. Totally not biased "research"

If one's IQ test results is based upon one's level of education, and familiarity with popular culture, none vis-a-vis graduate, and not on one's innate intellect, and is regional, how does it speak as to one's intellect?

I don't want to sound like a woke liberal, but iq & the wealth of nations is definitely pseudoscience, lynn's whole argument is africa is poor due to low iq, but doesn't mention other important factors like functioning institutions. The south & north Korea, the average southerner is more than 40 times richer than the northerner, but since Koreans are a single ethnic group, it can't be iq which is bringing about such massive difference but other factors like the 2 countries differing political systems & institutions. A somali or an African back home won't get the opportunity to learn or get enough nutrition which will of course make it impossible for them to reach their potentials.

I ain't we wuzzing shit. Somalis did these things and still do.
You amhara however are too busy on wikipedia claiming every single event in East African history. Semetic half breeds speaking off brand Arabic, the founding story of the Habash is when the Ethiopian man gets cucked by queen sheba who fucks a jew and makes their half breed son the king of habasha males. In the modern day you aren't getting cucked by jews but by Tyrone's. Every other nigga in Sweden and Washington D.C got a story with Selam
