SMARTEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD BY THEIR AVERAGE IQ IN 2025!

Nigeria dey number 👇🏽.

Find and comment when you see

The post shares a graphic ranking the top 75 countries by average IQ in 2025 from the International IQ Test (1.35 million online participants), sarcastically noting Nigeria's position—it's absent from the list, as Nigeria ranks 104th with a score of 91.35 based on 1,859 test-takers.

This data uses Raven's Matrices for culture-fair assessment but relies on self-selected internet users, potentially inflating scores for wealthier nations; peer-reviewed studies (e.g., Wicherts et al., 2010 in Intelligence) critique similar global IQ rankings for small, unrepresentative samples in low-income countries like Nigeria.

Replies from Nigerian users pivot to socio-political satire, blaming corruption and poor leadership for national challenges rather than innate intelligence, reflecting broader online discourse on governance amid economic struggles in 2025.

If America is not number one, that statistics is a scam.


You cannot tell me that you are smarter than Americans yet the world's innovations and groundbreaking technologies and scientific inventions always emerge from the same America. Even China in their smartness mostly copy American technologies discovered by Americans.


In my own personal experience about the world, the statistics should start from:


1.) USA
2.) UK
3.) Japan
4.) China
5.) others can follow

china has been intelligent right from the time of tang dynasty


thanks to their brutal rulers that kept them in check if they loose guard and their education system is so apt right from the ming dynasty with their brutal civil service exams that filters out lusers


koreans are merely descendants of confcius so i see no reason why they shouldnt be intelligent



the asian contintent is dripping with smart peeps everyday


come to africa na plenty he goats full here except maybe for few intelligent north africans, few east africans , maybe few yorubas out there

Think about the latest Technologies that China churns out early, you will understand why they are Number one.

Google it, the smartest kids in the world are Chinese, Even those who represented USA in a maths quiz were Chinese Americans.


Why Nigeria did not make the list, i dont know. Even Malta that there population is not up to Ekiti state made the list.
Re: Smartest Countries In The World By Their Average IQ In 2025! by SmartyPants(m): 3:31pm On Oct 13, 2025
Nigeria has too many uneducated people, so that would affect the average. But southern Nigeria on it's own would certainly be top 50.

One person will drink ogogoro then start churning out statistics that don’t make sense. Then NL will push it to front page. Who measured the average IQ of everyone in these countries? Is it even possible? Fake list and fake stats for people to feed their ego.

Stop believing beer parlour news!

Can Israel match China, Japan, Germany or Russia technologically!

Israel that still has to beg the US and other European countries before it feeds itself.

Nuclear tech was stolen from the US and even the Iton dome Iran fried was funded by the US since they were too poor to afford it.
Re: Smartest Countries In The World By Their Average IQ In 2025! by destinychildolu(m): 3:32pm On Oct 13, 2025
USA and Nigeria are missing because if they were truly smarts, they won't have voted the kind of leaders they currently have. Kiss the truth!

Calm Uncle, it is true that Americans are one of the most intelligent people on this crust but to insist that they should be Number on the IQ log is way out of good thinking.

You see all the Innovation you see coning from America? They actually have a way of harvesting the brainiest from every part of the world to America with their numerous Visa types.

For starters, go and check the picture of the American Students that won the Mathematics Olympiad sometimes ago, they were all Chinese kids.
