Germans are brainiest
March 27, 2006
It is always fun to see the english deal with germans and french. this London Times article Germans are brainiest is fun because on the one side it let’s the Times explain why the english are smarter than the french, but then has to go on and make a case for why the germans are the brainier than the english, and even the brainiest of all in europe.
“A new European league of IQ scores has ranked the British in eighth place, well above the French, who were 19th. … But it is not all good news. Top of the table were the Germans, with an IQ of 107.”
But the article might even go on and explain why bush here in the US did do badly in all of the large metropolitan areas:
“He added that differences in intelligence across Britain could be attributed to bright people moving to London over hundreds of years. …
The pattern is repeated in other countries, Professor Lynn claimed. In France, IQ scores in Paris were much higher than those in rural areas.”
this might be true for the US, too.
(articles like this are always fun … broad generalization …

Making up stuff can be funny — as long as we all know that it’s just ‘made-up’ stuff.

I bet this survey was thought up & funded by a german. why not they are the ones that thought of placing towels on beds by spanish pools, which is very clever. ps: I am half german & wonder why I am not more clever than I think I am.or maybe I am too clever to realise it or not……

i live in richmond virginia, murder city usa, or for you richmonder’s “the fifth city” or fist city, low in assaults high in murder. all of my closest friends have atleast a 140 IQ, my grandfather had an IQ of 216, “Duke Norfleet” so i would have to say germans having 107 as thier average is lame, mabey youth in asia isn’t a good phrase

The average IQ of all those put together is
94.130434782608695652173913043478
That is 5.8695652173913043478260869565217 off what it should be as all results have to average at 100…
The results should be about .6 higher
These results are based on an invalid test, with an inaccurate sample and that means you cannot generalise to the whole population
Although I agree with the idea of testing people I would like it if the test you applied, tested what it said it tested for.
I just wonder if every country had the same questions. Because any variation would invalidate results, hell even the translation invalidates the results.

Germans may be the brainest people on the otherside of the world but what about canada, usa, mexico, brizil and all the other places i think that u should do a little more research before u say germans are the brainest people in the world
