Bro, even in their most recent peer review, India is still a 76.7, approx a 77; It literally didn't change... Nepal is higher though, i will give them that.

Botswana is also a 77 in the Peer review by the way.

Wow finally I got you to concede 😂😂😂 read the Richard study and no based on all the studies available Indian IQ is higher than Dumbswana

India:
• Average IQ: The average IQ of India is widely cited as 81-82 in many studies, including Richard Lynn’s works and other global IQ databases like World Population Review and IQ and the Wealth of Nations.
• Sources:
• Richard Lynn & Tatu Vanhanen (2006): “IQ and the Wealth of Nations” places India’s IQ at 82.
• More recent data from World Population Review (2022) supports an average IQ of 81 for India.
The average IQ of India can vary depending on different studies, but it tends to fall within the 81-82 range across major sources.

Botswana:
• Average IQ: Botswana’s average IQ is typically cited around 70-72 in recent studies.
• Sources:
• Richard Lynn & David Becker (2019): In their study, “The Intelligence of Nations,” Botswana’s average IQ is reported to be 70.
• Other sources, including World Population Review, also report IQ levels in this range, typically closer to 71-72.
The slightly higher range for Botswana is often due to some local studies or variations in the sample populations studied.

Deep Comparison Using Multiple Studies:

1. IQ in India (Recent Data):
• India has a relatively higher IQ average, ranging between 81-82, as seen in global rankings and reports. India’s IQ is a reflection of the country’s complex educational landscape, where there are significant disparities in educational access and quality.
• As of 2021 and 2022, India’s educational reforms, growing technological sector, and increasing access to higher education in major cities might be contributing to higher cognitive performance compared to many developing countries.
• India’s population size and diversity also lead to variations in the average IQ within different regions.

2. IQ in Botswana (Recent Data):
• Botswana’s reported IQ average of 70-72 is relatively lower compared to India. This can be attributed to a combination of factors, such as economic disparities, access to education, and healthcare challenges.
• Despite a well-functioning democratic system and a relatively high Human Development Index (HDI) for sub-Saharan Africa, Botswana still faces challenges like limited educational infrastructure in rural areas.
• However, Botswana has seen improvements in education in recent years, which may gradually raise IQ scores in the future

India has a higher average IQ (81-82) compared to Botswana (70-72). This is supported by multiple sources, including Richard Lynn and global IQ databases like World Population Review.
• The difference is influenced by various factors such as access to education, economic development, and regional disparities within each country.

Seeing Nepali talking about it not being true on Quora makes me laugh... Many Nigerians say the 68 is wrong... There are many datas to suggest otherwise, absolute data though is there... I should take a forum over actual data😂😂😂.

I don’t think most of them were Nepali. The one with that 2019 study was not Nepali.

It's only 43 for Tribal Nepalis, so you just concorted an emotional excuse😂😂😂... You hate when the facts are shoved on your face, you called us monkey brained, i wholesomely accepted; but you being the emotional wreck you are that can't accept a simple recent data, you went all the way to 2002😂😂😂. Dude is talking about Tribes😂😂😂.

The Nepal tribes are like 1% of the population, I first I accepted that average but I actually researched it and the data is not actually true. You’d have to have a low IQ to believe it is

Who said the whole, the absolute average you idiot, you didn't debunk shit😂😂😂... I just told you that an IQ test conducted on literates put Nigeria at a 91, Brght IQ puts Nigeria at a 97; it doesn't stop the absolute global on the country from being a 68... Debunked my ass😂😂😂.

That’s only for tribal Nepalese. Read that recent study by Richard lynn and David Becker. No one would have an IQ that low. That would require retardation.

Derekmiles:
😂😂😂, and yet, that was what it was😂😂😂. Brother, let me fix it for you, 42.99, always add the .99😂😂😂....That is a completely empty brain😂😂😂... No offence to AJ, Sun, and Sarm, but given the stories they've told me, i can sought of understand were this rating is coming from.

No, that’s only from the tribal Nepalese
the 43 IQ figure is not accurate or representative of the entire population of Nepal. This low IQ score is often attributed to specific studies focused on particular tribes, like the Limbu tribe, and doesn’t reflect the broader population of Nepal. Cultural and environmental factors, including limited access to education and exposure to test norms, can skew results in these types of studies.

IQ scores are heavily influenced by education, socio-economic factors, and cultural context. So, it’s not fair or accurate to generalize that number to the whole country. It’s important to look at IQ studies with an understanding of these limitations.

Quora has already debunked this

In The Intelligence of Nations (2019) by Richard Lynn and David Becker, Nepal is listed with an average IQ of 84. However, it’s important to keep in mind that Richard Lynn’s studies have been heavily criticized for methodological issues and the overgeneralization of results across diverse populations. Many experts argue that IQ scores can be significantly influenced by educational, cultural, and environmental factors, which might not always be adequately accounted for in such studies.

Based on which all studies, people talking on Forums, are you a goat?.. That's like me coming to Nairaland and using whatever they say as a study... The most recent global data analysis is this, India is at a 76.

Based on recent studies my ass... Dude brought out a 2002 study and thought it wouldn't be noticed, idiot.

The idea that Nepal has one of the lowest average IQs is a misconception that doesn’t apply to the entire country. Some studies might focus on specific groups, like the Limbu tribe, but those results can’t be generalized to the whole population.

That whole Nepali 43 IQ has been Debunked. It’s over 80.it’s only 43 for tribal Nepalis 😂😂

You lied, you hate these south Asians. You hate that their smarter, more industrious etc than any black nation will ever be.

Ok, sorry, let me reiterate, the Nepali Forum gave you bad data😂😂😂; like i said, do better... You get quite a lot of bad datas bro😂😂😂.

Alright, i still didn't bother reading that long deflection...

Country rivalling the U.S my ass... Shithole by all definitions😂😂😂.

Anyone with the slightest experience of intellectual disability would know that a true IQ of 42 would indicate such a profound level of disability that a properly conducted test would be impossible.

You can’t just use 1 data set. Your clearly showing your low IQ
Recent Data and IQ Scores
1. India:
According to recent sources like World Population Review (2023), the average IQ of India is 82, which is often cited as a consensus figure for India. Earlier studies, such as those by Lynn and Vanhanen, suggested slightly higher figures (around 82–85), but more recent updates align India around the 82-85 range depending on the specific source. The figure of 76 that you mentioned might stem from some outlier estimates or specific methodologies used in certain studies, but this is not a widely accepted figure in the most recent studies on global IQ averages.
2. Nepal:
The average IQ of Nepal is often cited around 84, based on various studies, including the World Population Review (2023), which provides similar findings. Other sources like Lynn and Vanhanen (2006) suggest figures in a similar range.
3. Sub-Saharan Africa:
Studies like those by Lynn and Vanhanen suggest a range of average IQs for countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Some notable countries and their reported IQ averages are:
• Nigeria: Around 67-70
• South Africa: 72-75
• Kenya: 70-72
• Ghana: 71-72

These averages for Sub-Saharan Africa are generally lower compared to South Asia, and many researchers attribute this to factors such as socio-economic conditions, access to education, healthcare, and environmental challenges, rather than genetic differences

Based on the most recent data, the average IQ of South Asia (including India and Nepal) is generally reported around 82–85.
• The average IQ of Sub-Saharan Africa is typically reported as 67–75 for countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa, though these figures vary by country and source

The most up-to-date data from multiple reputable sources suggests that South Asia generally has higher average IQ scores than Sub-Saharan Africa, but it’s essential to approach these comparisons with caution and an understanding of the broader context. The factors contributing to intelligence and cognitive performance are far more complex than what can be measured by standardized IQ tests

Derekmiles:
Ok, sorry, let me reiterate, the Nepali Forum gave you bad data😂😂😂; like i said, do better... You get quite a lot of bad datas bro😂😂😂.

Alright, i still didn't bother reading that long deflection...

Country rivalling the U.S my ass😂😂.

They go and complain to the Nepali economic forum then😂

Brudda, there are literally scientific studies out that show blacks have the lowest IQs😂

India has more STEM grads than the US.
Africa only producing 0.4% of WIPO patents is crazy😂 bruh Africans bath with the mud

It’s important to approach the topic of IQ and race with caution, as it can easily be misinterpreted or used to perpetuate stereotypes. The idea that intelligence can be quantified and compared across racial or ethnic groups is both scientifically and ethically problematic. Many studies that claim to compare IQ by race have been widely criticized for flawed methodologies, biases, and a lack of consideration for the broader societal and environmental factors that influence IQ scores.

That being said, IQ is often measured by standardized tests that aim to assess cognitive abilities, but these tests are not perfect and are shaped by cultural and socio-economic factors. Some of the studies that have attempted to look at global IQ differences include those by scholars like Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen, but their work has been controversial.

Commonly cited IQ averages by region or country (based on various studies, including those by Lynn and Vanhanen):
1. East Asia (e.g., Japan, China, South Korea)
• Average IQ: 104–106
• East Asia is often cited as having the highest average IQ scores in global studies.
2. Europe (e.g., United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, etc.)
• Average IQ: 98–102
• European countries tend to have scores in the mid-90s to low 100s.
3. North America (e.g., United States, Canada)
• Average IQ: 98–100
• Generally falls in line with the European averages.
4. South Asia (e.g., India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh)
• Average IQ: 82–85 (India specifically is often cited around 82–84)
• South Asia has consistently shown lower averages compared to East Asia and Europe.
5. Sub-Saharan Africa (e.g., Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana)
• Average IQ: 67–80
• Sub-Saharan African countries tend to have lower average IQs in these studies, though this is largely attributed to environmental, educational, and socioeconomic factors rather than inherent racial differences.
6. Middle East and North Africa (e.g., Egypt, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Iran)
• Average IQ: 84–88
• This region typically has IQ averages somewhat lower than those in Europe but higher than Sub-Saharan Africa.
7. Latin America (e.g., Brazil, Mexico, Argentina)
• Average IQ: 85–95
• Latin American countries show a range of IQ averages that tend to fall below the European averages.

Important Considerations:
• Socioeconomic Factors: IQ tests are influenced by the education system, access to resources, nutrition, and overall economic conditions. Countries with lower socioeconomic development and poorer educational systems tend to show lower IQ scores.
• Cultural Bias in Testing: Many IQ tests are developed in Western countries and are culturally biased, favoring those from similar backgrounds. This can lead to skewed results for people from non-Western cultures.
• Environmental Factors: Environmental stressors such as malnutrition, lack of education, and exposure to toxins can negatively impact cognitive development and performance on IQ tests.

Ethical Concerns:

It’s essential to understand that race is not a valid predictor of intelligence. The idea of measuring intelligence across racial lines has been widely debunked and criticized. Studies attempting to compare racial IQ differences often fail to account for a wide range of factors, including systemic inequality, educational access, and cultural differences in how intelligence is valued or expressed.

In conclusion, IQ scores should not be used to make sweeping generalizations about racial or ethnic groups. Intelligence is multifaceted, and many factors contribute to a person’s cognitive abilities.

You’ve lost

Derekmiles:
So the most recent is a 76, simple as that, online forums claim is now better than actual datas😂😂😂... I could also f*cking use Nigeria's 2000s score of 81, and claim that us Nigeria's IQ... Your long deflections are appalling😂😂😂.

I said based on all studies it’s around 82. You that loves talking about general consensus. You can’t just use 1 study to verify. Based on All the studies of like the past 20-30
Years, their IQ is 82

Derekmiles:
Don't worry, i didn't bother reading further deflections, when the facts on the most recent absolute data shows that Indians on average are more monkey brained than Sudanese and Chads.😂😂😂.

The most accurate and up-to-date information suggests that the average IQ for India is around 82. This is based on several studies, including those by Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen, as well as data from other sources such as the World Population Review. While there may be some variation in IQ scores depending on the source, 82 is commonly cited as a representative figure for India’s average IQ.

For Nepal, the average IQ is typically around 84, according to similar sources and studies.

These numbers are generally consistent with the available data and reflect the averages for each country based on IQ testing and statistical analysis.

To summarize:
• India’s average IQ: 82
• Nepal’s average IQ: 84

These figures are among the most commonly cited and up-to-date sources available. Cry about it😂

Derekmiles:
Shut, the Bleep up... You lie so much. The most recent major IQ study was from 2022, and it relied majorly on literates, India was a 99, and Nigeria was a 91.

India is a significant contributor to global innovation, particularly in fields like information technology (IT), pharmaceuticals, and engineering. In contrast, Africa, while showing growth in innovation in areas like mobile technology and agriculture, contributes much less on a global scale. Here’s a comparison based on available data and key metrics:

India’s Contribution to Global Innovation:
1. Global Patent Filings:
• According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), India is among the top 10 countries in the world for patent filings. In 2021, India ranked 6th globally in the number of patent applications, with more than 50,000 patents filed. This indicates a significant share in global technological innovation.
2. Research and Development (R&) Spending:
• India’s R& spending is approximately 0.7-1% of GDP. This is lower than the global leaders but still a notable contribution, particularly in the IT and pharmaceutical sectors.
• India is home to some of the largest tech companies, like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, and Wipro, which have substantial global market influence.
3. IT and Software Development:
• India’s IT sector is a global powerhouse, contributing substantially to the development of software, apps, and IT services. India is a major hub for global IT outsourcing, with the sector bringing in over $150 billion in revenue annually, according to recent statistics.
• Companies like Flipkart, Ola, and Paytm have been recognized for innovations in e-commerce, transportation, and fintech, all of which are integral to India’s global tech footprint.
4. Entrepreneurship & Startups:
• India has a rapidly growing startup ecosystem, ranking 3rd globally after the U.S. and China in terms of the number of unicorns (startups valued at over $1 billion), with over 100 unicorns as of 2023.

Africa’s Contribution to Global Innovation:
1. Global Patent Filings:
• Africa collectively contributes a much smaller share of global patents. In 2021, South Africa led the continent in patent filings, but the entire African continent accounted for only 0.4% of global patents, according to WIPO.
2. Research and Development (R&) Spending:
• R& spending in Africa remains quite low, typically averaging less than 1% of GDP across the continent, with countries like South Africa, Egypt, and Kenya leading in research and development efforts.
3. Mobile and Agricultural Innovation:
• Innovation in Africa is often focused on mobile technology and agriculture. African countries are leading in mobile banking (e.g., M-Pesa in Kenya) and mobile money services, and have pioneered agricultural innovations to improve food security.
• The fintech sector is booming in Africa, particularly in Nigeria and Kenya, contributing to global advancements in mobile money and financial inclusion.
4. Entrepreneurship & Startups:
• Africa has a growing startup ecosystem, but the continent has far fewer unicorns than India, with just around 20 known unicorns as of 2023. However, African innovation is becoming more recognized globally, particularly in sectors like fintech, agritech, and e-commerce.

Summary:
• India’s Contribution to Global Innovation is significantly larger than Africa’s, particularly in the areas of IT, software development, and pharmaceuticals, along with substantial patent filings and research output. India is responsible for a notable share of global R&, with a robust startup ecosystem and a high number of unicorns.
• Africa’s Contribution to Global Innovation is more modest, with lower levels of patent filings and R& investment. However, the continent is growing in key areas like mobile technology, fintech, and agriculture, where it has made innovative strides, particularly in mobile banking and agriculture.

Conclusion:
• India’s innovation is far more significant globally than Africa’s, both in terms of patents, research, and entrepreneurial activity. India’s contribution is larger by several magnitudes, though Africa is increasingly recognized for its innovative approaches to mobile technology and financial inclusion.

When comparing the academic performance of South Asia to Africa, particularly in terms of test scores and grades, there are notable differences. Below is a breakdown of key aspects, including data on performance in international assessments, literacy rates, and educational attainment.

South Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal)
1. Test Scores (PISA & Other Assessments):
• India:
• PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) Results (2018): Indian students score well below the global average in subjects like mathematics, reading, and science. For example, in mathematics, India ranked among the lowest-performing countries with an average score of 357 (global average was around 470).
• However, certain Indian states, particularly in southern India like Kerala, show much higher academic performance compared to the national average.
• Sri Lanka: Sri Lankan students also struggle in international assessments like PISA. However, the country consistently scores better than India on various educational indicators, such as literacy rates and educational attainment.
• Bangladesh: Bangladesh has improved significantly over the years, with the introduction of various reforms aimed at education access. However, it still lags behind many South Asian countries in PISA-type assessments.
• Nepal: Nepal’s performance in international assessments is generally lower, with students often facing challenges like poor infrastructure, language barriers, and limited resources.
2. Grades and Educational Attainment:
• South Asia has a higher educational attainment compared to much of Africa, especially in terms of literacy rates and school enrollment. For instance, India’s literacy rate is around 77%, while Sri Lanka is at 92% (according to World Bank data).
• While there are significant challenges, particularly in rural areas, South Asia has invested heavily in improving educational infrastructure, teacher training, and technology in the classroom.

Africa (Sub-Saharan Africa)
1. Test Scores (PISA & Other Assessments):
• South Africa: South Africa, as one of the more developed African countries, participates in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and other international assessments. However, students perform poorly in these assessments, especially in mathematics and science. South Africa’s average PISA scores in 2018 were around 350 in mathematics, well below the global average.
• Kenya: Kenya is part of the East African Certificate of Secondary Education (EACSE), and while there have been improvements in education, students continue to face significant challenges, particularly in rural areas.
• Nigeria: Nigerian students face difficulties in international assessments, with the average performance in subjects like mathematics and science generally being lower compared to global standards.
• Other African countries: Many Sub-Saharan African countries have significant gaps in education quality, resulting in lower scores in standardized testing and limited access to higher education.
2. Grades and Educational Attainment:
• Literacy Rates: African countries, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, have relatively low literacy rates. For example, Nigeria has a literacy rate of around 62%, while South Africa’s literacy rate is around 95%. Many African nations are still working on improving their basic education systems and literacy rates, with some regions having substantial gaps between urban and rural areas.
• School Enrollment: Despite efforts to improve education access, many African countries still face challenges with school enrollment, teacher shortages, and education infrastructure. Additionally, drop-out rates remain high in several countries due to factors such as poverty, conflict, and gender inequality.

Key Differences:
1. Educational Infrastructure:
• South Asia: Generally, South Asian countries have made more progress in terms of infrastructure, teacher training, and educational reforms. India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, for example, have invested significantly in education over the past few decades, leading to improvements in school enrollment rates and overall literacy.
• Africa: Many African countries still struggle with inadequate school facilities, lack of qualified teachers, and limited access to education, especially in rural areas. Education quality is often inconsistent across regions, with urban areas tending to perform better than rural ones.
2. Socioeconomic Factors:
• South Asia: Education in South Asia has been heavily influenced by socioeconomic status, with wealthier families able to afford private schooling, especially in urban areas. However, government schools in rural areas often face underfunding and a shortage of qualified teachers.
• Africa: Poverty is a major barrier to education in many African countries, with many children unable to afford school fees, uniforms, or books. Additionally, conflict, displacement, and public health issues like HIV/AIDS impact school attendance and performance.
3. Gender Disparities:
• South Asia: Gender disparities in education have been narrowing in South Asia, particularly in India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. However, challenges remain, especially in rural areas where girls often face barriers to education.
• Africa: Gender disparities in education are also a significant issue in many African countries, with girls more likely to be out of school due to cultural norms, early marriages, or the need to support families.

Conclusion:

Based on current data, South Asia generally performs better in academic performance, test scores, and educational attainment compared to Africa. South Asian countries like India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh have made more substantial progress in improving literacy rates, school enrollment, and performance in international assessments compared to Sub-Saharan African countries.

However, both regions face significant challenges in terms of educational access, quality, and equity, with notable disparities between urban and rural areas, and between different socioeconomic and gender groups.

World Population Review (2023): The latest data from this source places India’s average IQ at 76.24.
2. Older Studies (Lynn & Vanhanen, 2002): Earlier studies have reported India’s average IQ at 82. This was based on data available at that time, but it has been widely critiqued for using outdated methodologies and not considering the most recent socio-economic and educational improvements.
3. IQ & the Wealth of Nations (2002): This book, which used much of the same data as Lynn and Vanhanen, also suggested an average IQ of 82 for India. However, the data has been increasingly questioned as newer studies emerge.
4. Other Sources (such as online forums or discussions): Some claim India’s IQ may vary between 75-80, reflecting ongoing debates and updates in intelligence research

😂😂😂

The 82 figure is even from 2002😂😂😂, by Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen... Bro, Nigeria was an 81 sometime around the 2010s, it's a 69 or so now😂😂😂. Dude went with the ancient of days data😂😂😂.

India still beats almost all of them on your metric and your still wrong

You’re absolutely right that there have been many updates and revisions to IQ data, and relying on outdated figures can lead to misconceptions. Let’s break down the situation accurately:
1. Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen’s work (2002) is widely criticized for its reliance on outdated and sometimes controversial methodologies. Their book IQ and the Wealth of Nations suggested that India’s average IQ was 82, but it was based on older data, and as you’ve pointed out, doesn’t account for newer studies.
2. India’s IQ Today:
• The most recent data (from sources like World Population Review, IQ and the Wealth of Nations, and others) often places India’s average IQ in the range of 82-85. These figures reflect a more nuanced understanding, incorporating improvements in education, access to healthcare, and economic development over the years. However, the number can vary depending on the methodology used.
3. Nigeria’s IQ:
• Regarding Nigeria, it’s true that earlier figures (based on studies from around the 2000s) placed the country’s average IQ at around 81. However, more recent data points to a lower average, often quoted as 67-70, largely due to factors like lower access to quality education, health challenges, and socio-political instability.
• While these numbers have shifted, some sources might still refer to the earlier, higher averages, which have been debunked by more contemporary studies and evaluations

Offcourse Indians are smarter. They actually innovate. And I love how silent you were on things like exams, test scores, grades etc. most Africans will die from doing Indian and Asian exams. I knew someone that wants to study Singapore from India and they told me how hard and ultra competitive the exams are. They have like some of the hardest exams on earth 😂😂 all Asian countries are smart. Some more or less than others but blacks are the dumbest out there.

But it's the claim everywhere😂😂😂... Accept the consensus; World of Population said it, Indian Newslines said it, you being emotional and thinking it "can't" be isn't valied... East Asia have some of the highest absolute IQ in the world, South Asia are monkey brained😂😂😂.

No I presented studies
When comparing the average IQ of South Asian countries with African countries, the data generally suggests that South Asia tends to have higher average IQ scores than Africa. Here’s a summary of the IQ data from various studies:

South Asia:
1. India: Average IQ is typically around 82-85 (varies depending on the source, but commonly cited between 82 and 85).
2. Nepal: Average IQ is around 84.
3. Sri Lanka: Average IQ around 81-82.
4. Bangladesh: Average IQ is around 82.

Africa:
1. Seychelles: Average IQ around 84.
2. Ghana: Average IQ around 71-72.
3. Kenya: Average IQ around 70-72.
4. Nigeria: Average IQ around 67-70.
5. South Africa: Average IQ around 72-75.

Which Region Has Higher Average IQ?

Based on the data from these countries, South Asia has a higher average IQ compared to Africa. The average IQs in South Asian countries like India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka are generally above 80, whereas many African countries have averages closer to 70.

Conclusion:
• South Asia has higher average IQs than Africa based on available data from multiple countries across both regions.

This conclusion comes from general IQ rankings compiled by various sources like World Population Review, IQ and the Wealth of Nations, and others. While these figures should be interpreted cautiously and within the context of broader educational and socioeconomic factors, South Asia generally performs better in these measures compared to Africa.

1. World Population Review – This source compiles a variety of global IQ studies and provides country-specific average IQ data. They report the average IQs for countries in both South Asia and Africa as you’ve listed (e.g., India at 82-85, Seychelles at 84, and Ghana at 71-72).
• Source: World Population Review - IQ by Country
2. Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen’s “IQ and the Wealth of Nations” – This book, widely cited in IQ studies, provides data on average IQs for many countries, including those in South Asia and Africa. It suggests higher IQ averages in South Asia, with countries like India and Sri Lanka scoring above 80, compared to African countries like Ghana and Kenya which have lower averages in the 60s to 70s.

Conclusion:

Based on the studies from these sources, South Asia generally tends to have higher average IQs compared to Africa, with countries like India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka scoring in the 80s and African countries like Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria scoring in the 60s to 70s.

Keep in mind, however, that these studies and comparisons are controversial and often criticized for not accounting for socio-economic, educational, and cultural factors that heavily influence IQ scores.Cry about it😂

Derekmiles:
Yea, but Sub-Saharans passes India, the average Indian IQ is 76. Sudan is 78, Chad is 78😂😂😂.

India is 82+ most sub Saharan countries aren't close to india.

Derekmiles:
You didn't even get the first right, the first is Mauritius... Why did i forget about this since, thank goodness i remember; we're monkey brained, i accept, but the pot calling the kettle black and not seeing it is delusion😂😂😂.

https://newscentral.africa/top-10-african-nations-with-the-highest-iq-revealed/.

Mauritius is not even black but has a lot of Asian influence 😂
Mauritius is only 82. No sub Saharan African nation is above 80. South Asia has higher IQs. I've already done the comparisons 😂 you lost when you started to compare black and asian intelligence. Most blacks are dumber than rocks.

Derekmiles:
Bro, Sudan is literally 78 on absolute IQ, and that's not even the highest😂😂😂.

The claim that Nepal’s average IQ is 42 is not supported by reliable or widely accepted sources. Such a low figure would be highly unusual and likely the result of misinterpretation or unreliable data. The more commonly cited average IQ for Nepal is around 84, which is consistent with other global IQ rankings.

IQ scores can vary depending on the study, methodology, and the sample population, but extreme variations like 42 are typically not credible. It’s essential to refer to reputable sources, such as peer-reviewed academic studies or recognized global IQ databases, when considering such data.

Derekmiles:
And i am literally seeing World Population itself, how is sourced better than the original😂😂😂... I even sent you the link and what they said, 42.99 for Nepal, 76 for India absolute IQ.

76 is not the average, I sent the study that those guys did that showed it was 82. 76 is the highest of Africa. And again, why would the NEF lie?😂 your telling a Nepali organisation lied about the intelligence of its people?

Derekmiles:
Nepal is at a 42.99, stop lying, checking the IQ of Nepal is not hard😂😂😂.

No I literally showed you what it said at the world economic forum from the Nepal economic forum. That was their official LinkedIn website

Derekmiles:
😂😂😂, Clumping yourself with other Asians😂😂😂... We are talking about Indians, you are not Middle Easterns or East Asians😂😂😂. World Population puts the Indian average IQ in India at 76😂😂😂. Monkey brains😂😂😂.

Even if that were true, that’s still the same as the highest of africa 😂😂

India’s most up-to-date average IQ, based on various studies including those by Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen, is typically reported around 82. However, it’s important to note that IQ studies, especially those comparing different countries, can be controversial due to factors such as educational opportunities, socioeconomic conditions, and cultural biases in testing methods. Therefore, the figure is an estimate and may vary depending on the study used.
So please shut up and stop being quiet on academic. Perfomance. You know south Asians dunk on Africa in science, mathematics and general academic Perfomance. They get better test scores,grades have much more competitive systems and harder exams 😂😂

Derekmiles:
And World Population says different, so who should i believe, the actual World Population, or the Nepalis😂😂😂... I swear to God, as you were talking about Education, i just remembered that it is a welled known fact for people into IQ tests that Nepal has the lowest IQ on average in the world😂😂😂.

I don't need to compare to Asian intelligence, Asia is vast; but i do know monkey brains when i see one... Shut the Bleep up, 42.99 terrible, even though some African Nations and Nations like Guatemala are in that bracket; 76 is withing the African spectrum😂😂😂.

All parts Asia is vastly more intelligent than Africa. The dumbest of Asia is the smartest of Africa. Why are you silent on test scores, grades and academic performance?😂😂

Sierra Leone is the highest in Africa at 76 lower than Nepal at 78😂😂

Derekmiles:

Why would they lie? They literally sources it. Blacks have the lowest IQ and perform the worst in academics

Derekmiles:
Sudan wins India with higher average IQ, i didn't even still bother to read it😂😂😂... War torn Sudan is a 78, India is a 76😂😂😂... I know Botswana is a 69 or so.

It’s actually 82
1highest IQ is East Asians
- whites (Europe/USA) below that
- Indians same IQ as Middle East/Arabs
- Africans and carribeans is lowest😂
