That's true, that is why I mentioned illiteracy, but we would have to see if development arises before or after educational development, because almost all countries in Latin America have been better in the past than today, the golden age of each one gave in the past, and I don't know if the IQ score was higher then.
It is also curious in that map, that a country like North Korea or China have such a high score, which is quite suspicious, the first because it is in such deplorable conditions, and the second because it has a population of over one billion, that is to say, the people with more IQ that are always a minority, should be diluted among so many.

...apart from the Ashkenazi Jews, East Asia has the highest IQ av.
This pretty well documented in many papers I've read..

Lucy, the connection you may be insinuating between failed states and low IQ is precarious. If China's IQ is so high, why are they now coming out of millennia of abject poverty and failed governance? Why is Spain in the state it's in? Why are Greece and Italy, the birthplace of modern western progress, not higher? Without explaining more what you mean, this image risks the appearance of "my IQ can beat up your IQ" ego boosting. No? Still, I think a connection may exist, but it's quite multivariate. Maybe you can explain a little more?

It is much more complex.... like you said.
For example,... if the East Asian IQ is highest, why did the Japanese/Chinese not industrialize before the west, for example..?
Seems like an obvious assumption, right?
It's an incorrect one however.
This is referring to average IQ. When the average IQ is higher generally, production does not increase (they are all too busy thinking, , to do any work..or something..lol)
Lower IQ's can mean higher industrial output..
It is not an answer, or a panacea to the worlds ill's - it's a tool to see reality clearer.
There is certainly no 'ego IQ' battle, and there's room for everyone...Everyone has as much value as anyone else.
But to not use the closest scientific tool we have, to measure intelligence and acknowledge that differences exist in the name of political correctness is just ....well...stupid.
