Have you ever seen anything as information dense and clear in one picture before?
I like it. It's a great reference for quick use. Saved for future reference.
Also, any idea on how Sierra Leone could be rated so high?
lol, looking up some stuff now and came across this stormfront thread that asked the same thing. One guy said 'doesn't look to be a reliable source' when it's Richard Lynn's data.
Ferron (1965). This study reports IQs for seven samples of
children in Nigeria and Sierra Leone that included three
grammar school samples (IQs 91, 95, and 81), two samples
taking the entrance exam to grammar schools (IQs given as
80+ and 70+), and two samples from two primary schools.
WDM average the seven samples to give an IQ of “around 77”.
Comment: The first five samples should be excluded because
grammar school students are selected for higher IQs and the
imprecise IQs given for those taking the entrance exams to
grammar schools are unusable. Ferron's two samples from
primary schools are acceptable. The IQs of these were 74 and
66, averaged to 70
...
Ohuche and Ohuche (1973). WDM calculate an IQ of 91.3
for this sample of children at an experimental school in Sierra
Leone. Comment: The sample is unrepresentative; the ages of
the children are unknown; all children repeating the year
(i.e. those with low IQs) were excluded; the IQ of 5–6 year
olds= 69.5; the IQ of 7–12 year olds= 94.2, a discrepancy
indicating serious problems with the data; there was no
correlation between IQs and tests of English, math and social
science in grades 4–7, showing IQs have no validity for these
ages. The study is so unsatisfactory it has to be rejected.
Yes and they're rated as such at 59 in the picture :)
No, like it's literally the IQ for retarded Spanish school children.
Check Hunt and Wittman 2005's review of Lynn and Vanhanen's book. You can defend the inclusions or lack thereof of certain datasets, but you can't dispute this.
Also quick Q while I have your attention as I know you're a treasure trove of info: Jack Straw apparently said "The English as a race are not worth saving". The newspaper cutting can be seen here.
From what I can see people just say he said it without providing a source and when people ask for sources on it on message boards no source is provided. Seems false to me.
