Another map and I still wonder how the stats or data to compile this map was collected and how true, accurate and valid they are.

Well lets play a fun game of True or False to validate this map:

Comment with your Country name: True/False (example: South Africa: True) and you more than welcome to add supporting information if you want to. Please note: there are no rewards for this game, its all for fun and getting to know about other countries and the world around us.

I've come to realize that even IQ's of 100 should be classified as low intelligence.

Our world is an illusion.

As someone with an IQ of 140, I agree with this conclusion.
A common saying of me and my dad is "Consider how stupid the average person is, now realize half of humanity is even more stupid."

Australia and it appears to be True !

Japan: true!

Australia - i say true enough without info to dispute the map -- i am happy to follow you

Bulgaria - true (average IQ of 93).

Romania corect 94

India - False :P

Me and my friends ask: what is IQ?

From Russia with love.

IQ stands for Intelligence Coefficient. You might read all about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient.

Thanks for that @jmorais

Cmon, it was stupid joke.

So I joked back. No hard feelings. ;-)

Australia: True....but...I know a lot of bogans who wouldn't have the IQ of a gnat. So maybe covering the whole country in 91-99 is a bit too general haha.

United States appears correct.

South Africa False, should be higher, but if I look today's chaos it could just as well be much lower!!

@rynow you right after today's taxi strike i agree with you...i couldn't go to work..
Its bad. Thanks for your input

Portugal - correct.
According to a study by Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen which dates back to 2006, Portugal has an average IQ of 95. More info on this may be found at: https://iq-research.info/en/page/average-iq-by-country/pt-portugal.

Africans are not intelligent? Poor means low IQ? This map is a joke!

No it's true, but IQ tests have often been a little biased towards Africans because they involve a language section as well, and the test are often done in English, giving Africans a disadvantage.
Also, Africans, in general, seem to have a higher creativity, and less logical skills, on average. (There are of course exceptions, but this is talking averages).

Well put by @zimmah. Thanks for that input. Look at Lesotho...do you know most of the house mates in S.A. are from Lesetho and most of them cannot read nor write but it doesn't mean they are dumb hence we trust them with our household and they do a very good job.

Netherlands, borderline false.

Our average is exactly 100, so it should be in the next bracket (99-108)
