Study : Singaporeans are world's most intelligent people.

[TopSage]

According to a paper published by British psychologist, Richard Lynn and Finnish political scientist, Tatu Vanhanen, Singaporeans have the world's highest IQ of 108.

Intelligence is the result of nature and nurture. It is partially hereditary and partially due to environmental reasons. Those with smart parents will tend to have smart kids. Kids that grow up with good nutrition and mental stimulation will be more intelligent than those who do not. From the link we can see the average IQs of our neighbors. Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand have IQ scores of 92, 87, 86 and 91 respectively. We can correctly claim to be more intelligent than them.

I took IQ test before. My score was 180pts but dunno accurate or not.

The rankings are here:
The Israelis/Jews are one standard deviation lower than us.
I guess intelligence alone not enough, cohesiveness and cooperation more important. No matter how smart you are, others gang up and you're finished.

108 is just above borderline intelligence and nothing to be proud of.
My IQ is 150.....I suspect the average is being pulled down by the 60.1%

 

[Agoraphobic]

And that make Singaporeans much happier.

Cheers!

 

[babuSingh]

LOL north korea n/a

 

[eatshitndie]

it's risk and reward for sg. while there's a significant size of intelligent sinkies in the bell curve distribution, there's also a similarly significant size of moronic sinkies on the other end of the curve. instead of being holed up in mental institutions or specially secluded sanctuaries so they don't breed, they are reproducing and given access to the internet.

 

[bakkuttay]

Right on top is our dear taxidriver. So bad gone hiding.

 

[ballsoffire]

North Korea N/A ! their IQ too high cannot disclose...

Ironically, only the 60.1 have their head screwed on the right way.

 

[Asterix]

Personally I don’t believe IQ tests are a good measure of intelligence
Besides being clever alone is not enough to succeed in the real world
There is this thing called courage and also the ability to dream
Of a world without Lightning otherwise IQ tests means nothing
Especially when the crucial time comes these jokers Gostan
Will the daft Sinkies Gostan again or will they be like Gomer?

Unfortunately the average opposition supporting retard is bringing down the over intelligence of the whole country. One just need to visit sites like TRS and TRE and read their comments to know where all the retards usually visit.
