The average IQ in America is 98

[Dirty F]

There are 18 (EIGHTEEN!) countries where the average IQ is higher.

Thats all.
Thanks.

[BoyAlley]

Yes, but there are also countries where a significant percentage of the people still live in structures made out of cow dung.

The only thing hurting our statistical average so bad is our president. What's our bell curve look like?

[mattz]

Sweet, my IQ is 99, thank god I'm above the average!

[steved]

Funny, I don't remember them coming around to give everyone the IQ test...
Missed that one

[madawgz]

[aico]

I wonder how the countries fare when it comes to EQ.

[Kard63]

Was this list made by Asians and Europeans?

[abcx]

I definitely missed the country wide IQ exam, I prolly woulda hurt the US averages, thank god I just moved to Panama haha

[Ycaza]

watch the movie, Idiocracy and see why, its dumb but very funny.

[Jace]

i am surprised it is that high

[PerferoAmor]

i am an immigrant who lived predominantly in the USA since toddler years and I have an IQ of 140....??? Saying its the "fucking immigrants" is an insult to all American citizens who came to this country prior to the land bridge in Siberia - Alaska!

I call bull shit on those scores. Total crap.


The most widely used intelligence tests are the Stanford-Binet test (1916), for children, and the Wechsler test (1939), originally for adults but now also for children.

A score above 130 is considered to reflect "giftedness," while a score below 70 is considered to reflect mental impairment or mental retardation.

Intelligence tests have provoked great controversy, particularly about what kinds of mental ability constitute intelligence and whether IQ adequately represents these abilities, and about cultural and class bias in test construction and standardization procedures.

"Gifted" people who actually have legitimate above average mental abilities never throw out an IQ score as proof of anything. IQ score is a crutch for the pseudo intellectuals. Most people don't even know their IQ.

Furthermore, if you really had an IQ of 140, you wouldn't be on GFY. Of that much, I am certain. Sorry.

I am traveling outside the country right now and my standardized tests that pretty much have no significant value were not part of my traveling attire. IQ tests do not prove much intelligence, simply the process speed and response efficiency. My ACT score was 32, followed by a 34 (perfect in math however the English significantly lowered my score by a few overall points). My predicted PCAT examination score (taken by KAPLAN 3 former exams) were all over 90th percentile. However none of this proves my overall intelligence because it is not simply how well your brain can function on examinations, a major part of it is how well you apply it in the real world. Carrying around proof of certain exams is not and never will be necessary to me, even when you make a statement that you base on opinion. Why am I here? I am helping certain friends in their journey and business. Please don't take this as an offensive post either way.

[foorhoom]

I'm an American and I find those statistics hard to believe . . . and understand

[Nicky]

To live is to learn

[kapopoy]

Korea, North - 105

those fuckers have that IQ, its something to have a leader like kim jong ii

[Phil]

Mongolians have same IQ score as Americans.. Living up to standards..

[ZoneMaster]

Doubt the stats, but amazed the US IQ is that high.... there sure is no evidence around to indicate it's that high.

So if 130 is gifted and 70 is "slow", then those scores would seem to be just about right on. Also, saying nobody on gfy is above 140 just shows why you are probably below 80 Greg.

[Mr. Cool Ice]

Even Poland is way above the USA. hahahahah. I guess it's time for the Americans to stop with the Polish jokes.

I must admit that for a while, I really didn't think you were as stupid as your posts reflected. Now, I am convinced that you are as dumb as you appear and that you probably have a certified award for the dumbest mother fucker on the web. CONGRATS!

Believe me, I am offended by your bullshit. I looked at all of your posts on this board and I am certain that you are a fucking moron. You aren't as dumb as "lazycash" but you are really fucking stupid. I can see how your activity here on GFY is helping your friends in their journey and business you pos liar.

Total bullshit statement. I am way above that and I am here. My daughter is way above me and she is here and I have two son's who equally high as well (They aren't here).

You must be below 70 to make that statement. You do need 49 and above to beable to walk and talk so we can assume you are in this range of 49 - 70. If you are below 70, you are certifiable. 129 and above is or was the norm for high IQ or gifted and entrance to Mensa.

If you are around 156, you are in the top third of the top 1 percent. Being gifted doesn't make you money. Some gifted persons don't have the communication skills to make it in mainstream life.

If you had PhD and low IQ what would this mean?

Look moron, you are an idiot. That much I know for sure. If you have any doubt, do some research on IQ and then get back to me. Do you know how rare it is to have an IQ above 130, let alone above 140 or 150?????????

Not only are you no higher than an "average" IQ, but you are probably below. This is indicated by the fact that nobody would bother to register a worthless domain name like "confessionsins.com," but you did stupid. Also, I read all your past posts and you are definitely pedestrian when it comes to intelligence. I think you need to stop pretending to be smart because you clearly are not.

Uh oh, Greg is off his meds again, watch out everyone. Can't wait for his fake nicks to come pouring into this thread. Seriously Greg, get some help, your immature put downs and false bravado have run their course.

I think below 70.

So basically, by the break down listed in this thread, most of Africa is mentally retarded.

[Fap]

Mild Mental Retardation
About 85% of persons that are Mental Retarded fall into this group.
IQ level 50-55 up to about 70

Moderate Mental Retardation
About 10% of persons that are Mental Retarded fall into this group.
IQ level 35-40 to 50-55

Sever Mental Retardation
About 3% to 4% of persons that are Mental Retarded fall into this group.
IQ level 20-25 to 35-40

Profound Mental Retardation
About 1% to 2% of persons that are Mental Retarded fall into this group.
IQ level below 20 or 25

So some countries are mentally retarded on average?

You seem to be mistaking intelligence for modesty, a lack of insecurity and an aversity to pornography.

[Angry Jew Cat - Banned for Life]

The measuring of IQ is a pretty sketchy area if you ask me, and far from a perfect science I am sure. Boasting about your own high IQ is some pretty egotistical shit. Fuck mensa.....
