GenBuhari: Is the IQ test written in Nigeria's language rather than english and based on things Nigerians understand?.

I reckon that at least a signifanct proportin of the total score would be influenced by these factors.

I wonder what the score of the average english man would be if the test was written in pidgin english and involved questions about popular nigerian pastimes? Do you think the english man could score upto 69?

They should stop insulting us, jare. I have done several IQ tests myself and made higher than average scores. Many questions are on historical facts of foreign origin or involve spatial concepts which are not found in our environment. They should design tests based on our own setting and then score us.

No general consensus exists on the validity of tests as fail-proof measures of intelligence and productivity; besides, the closing line makes for admission of failings on the part of the examiners regarding the context, tools and differentials deployed. Again, anyone familiar with the probability density/distribution function, understands what constitutes mean, variance and deviation response of quantities in the excursion of the graph.

Like I often tell blokes here, the whining and permanent attribution, to a racial slur in almost every comment only validates and, sometimes humanizes them. If to every western landmark, a mirror or some effort exists in the domain of colored people, they may then take you seriously-or tilt the instruments of measurement to reflect the challenge in subsequent reports-notice how South Africa ranked slightly higher than most countries- you need not query why.

Oahray: even people wey no know wetin IQ be go dey comment. "Normal" IQ is between 85 and 115. Borderline intellectual function is between 70 and 85. Mild Mental Retardation is between 55 and 69. Moderate MR is between 40 and 54. Severe MR is between 25 and 39. Profound MR is less than 25.. Two things, either you hate your skin colour so much, you believe it automatically makes you profoundly ret.ard.ed or you are just hawking ignorance. Encouraging racism toward your kind. Na people like una help sell una people into slavery.
I know all those stuffs about IQ jare. I just find the assertion that we have average IQ of 69 amusing. This means we are all ZOMBIES! BRAIN DEAD!! RE!TA!RDS!

Let us get back to our yeyeness:

I will believe that it is true or it is even lower. I scored 148 on the stanford binet scale but i think if you check the average iq of nigerians adding up the illiterate nigerians. It should be noted that nigeria satisfy all the criteria of a low iq country

A) Nigerians are extremely religious.
B) We believe in ludacrious supernatural beings like ghosts and witches
C) we are very corrupt and self centered
D) we are violent, wicked and support extrajudical killing without rule of law
E) we are against things like gay rights which doesnt harm anyone while tolerating daily abuse of children by adults.
F)We kill ourselves over religious issues that are just myths and legends of the white man while disbeliving in our own traditions

Re: The Average IQ Of Nigeria Is 69 by Emmy9ite(m): 10:00am On Oct 27, 2012
Average people get average results. I am not average, my business I.Q should be 180 (close to that of Bill gate, warren buffet, carlos slim, Rockefeller e.t.c)

with the way some Nigeria youths spend time online fighting e-wars and defending their tribes especially on nairaland, one can be forced to rate their I.Qs below 50.

I so much believe in financial I.Q, Nigerians are very intelligent accademically but with money, its a no brainer! Give 100 Nigeria youths 1 million naira and in the next 3 years 80% would go back to their poor state. Wake up guys!

Yes. I think the proper categorization below 70 is "definite feeble-mindedness". Then, there are subcategories. 69 is considered "mild mental retardation".

Anyway, I agree with your logic.

Unless they are referring to one part of Nigeria where life is as cheap as N7,500 or a plate of garri soaked in water.

Your IQ is obviously below average..

And yet you people are doubting the oyibo estimations? Let us just take a look at this thread alone and rate the average IQ.
That means, we need to select the smartest person and the dumbest person on the thread (i can volunteer).

Now, why all the self-denials now? FELLOW NIGERIANS YOU ARE DUMB. ACCEPT IT NOW!

Okay, when they say the average, that means that we have people with higher IQ than 49, and people with extremely retarded IQ, giving us an average of 69.

In simple arithmetic, if we pick 3 people for the test, and they have IQs of 29, 60 and 118 respectively = average of 69

So i will leave it to your immagination where they can get people with such IQs. But at least we do know that Nigeria has produced some geniuses, and also some mega-ret.a.rd.s too. So your folks should just accept it like that. It does not mean everyone must necessarily be retarded. But look at your politicians and tell me they are not. . . . . lipsrsealed

Are Nigerian students not excelling in academics? There was some time ago a Japanese said Black women are the least beautiful of all races. Can you imagine.

Are they trying to say that the illiterates or semi illiterates are not intelligent. Does formal education now increase your IQ.

It is possible that they mistakenly selected more abokis in their study.

Mr. Globe:

Anyway we look at it - majority of the Nigerian populace are very fooolish - that is a fact, and we all know it, whether we want to accept it or not does not matter. There are a few smart ones amongst us, but when we say average - majority carries the vote.

You are very right, but walahi, if most Nigerians are like me, nollywood go don pack inside tale tale - in fact, except they are mentioned in news or elsewhere - i dont acknowlege their existence and never will.

And i feel those politicians should be gathered and flogged in public - starting from the president sef (charity begins at home), then we should start drowning them in flood (or feed them to alligators one by one) if they fail to repent and serve us well.

The i.d.i.o.t.s are meant to be serving us, and not us worshipping them.

Let me put it like this: If we have like 100 Nigerians selected by simple random sampling, you might get IQs like:

190 (419 omo ibo), 120 (omo nna), 115 (warri boy), 100 (yoruba), 17 (hausa), 15 (aboki), 20 (politician), 30 (president), 10 (majority), 400 (WINCH), 10 (garri soakers), 15 (non-garri soakers), etc

The politians with their surprisingly low IQ seem to be more intelligent than the majority of populace, and the president should be a little better than the other politicians.

If you put all this into consideration, i am sure you can agree with me that the average Nigerian have extremely low IQ.

This nonesense is really getting out of hand. It is no where funny.

How can a nation be filled with such devilish mindsets of youth who will claim they are the leaders of tomorrow yet their actions and mentality is so shallow and filled with evil and hate for one another?

my brother you only ban what you find distasteful, Seun Osewa doesn't find anything wrong with tribal hate, religious intolerance or outright insulting remarks among the tribal commentors, but instead he will ban the garri activists......
its a matter of time, this site is falling steadily, an upside is that by the time nairaland eventually hits rock bottom, which is inevitable given the alternatives out there, adverts here would be come free so these inter tribal hate peddlers can advertise their meetings for one another

I don't blame them. Why can't we develop our own IQ & EQ tests that take cognisance of our African values, to include but not:

(1) Family value
(2) Sociability
(3) Good neighbourliness (a white neghbour who lived next door, I never saw his face for 2 years. I knew from his music and voice that he was white)
(4) Straightforwardness with your feelings and opinions
(5) Belief in a superior being (as the world didn't come into existence by accident).
(6) Test done in a language one is most comfortable with (Wazobia, Edo, Izon, Efik, Urhobo, etc).
(7) Survival instinct/hustling
(9) Mental stability
(10) Optimism

I don't know where the OP got his info, but, I do have an alternative international IQ index for global ranking. I don't see Nigeria having an IQ of 69, but, 84 in this ranking. Although, it does appear that African countries dominate the lower part of this list. My source is http://www.photius.com/rankings/national_iq_scores_country_ranks.html
