Environment can lead to a pretty massive IQ gap. Used to be the Irish had something like a 20 point IQ gap with the English. It's basically gone now. The black vs white IQ gap in the USA was 15+ points and is now down to something like 5 or 6 points.

Education, stability, food security, etc. can lead to at least a standard deviation decrease in IQ.


Maybe it's because they are better test-takers now?

IQ is not the same as intelligence.

They literally use themselves as a source for proof.

What's wrong with being able to observe things? It's better than you relying on other people's findings to base your thinking on.

Btw, you still haven't explained why black countries are shitholes.

If you aren't going to use IQ tests you have literally no way to discuss the subject. You have to measure it somehow.

In my observation your IQ is likely around 30.

There are other ways to approximate intelligence, such as by looking at how advanced a group's civilization/society is. I know it's pretty subjective, but workable.

Anyway, if you want to talk about IQ tests, we can do that. I just feel that IQ tests aren't that reliable at measuring someone's intelligence. I remember there is a very renowned physicist, super smart and accomplished, but his IQ scores are not very impressive. I feel that IQ tests can tell who's a dullard, in the sense that if you are dumb, you will get a low score. However, it cannot reliably tell who's truly bright.

You need to answer my question first.

And I know you can't, which is why you keep pestering me with a question. Cause you got nothing.

The answer to my question might answer both weirdly enough.
