Which country has the highest average IQ?


Search: average iq by country

Why: Banner ads say "The average American IQ is 98. Can you beat it?"

Answer: The list looks like this:
  1. Hong Kong - 107
  2. South Korea - 106
  3. Japan - 105
  4. Taiwan - 104
  5. Singapore - 103
The U.S. is something like #23 (the numbering is weird) with an average of 98, along with Australia, Denmark, France, and Mongolia. Countries that have an average IQ of 97 are Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, and Spain.

    These scores are not statistically significantly different.

    One might just as accurately say that the above countries have populations of identical intelligence.
