The Chinese and the Japanese are the smartest people in the world. alot of research have proven it. in contrast the africans are the stupidest. this is a fact. just like saying a tiger is more likely to kill a person than a domestic cat. grow up

clap clap clap. Brilliant. Yet the sad fact is that some assholes just refuse to acknowledge it or totally deny it. It was what was i was talking about to erection just totally deny chinese/ east asian positive traits.

If you go by conventional IQ tests, yes. But it all depends on what our definition of 'intelligence' is, and what IQ tests actually measure.

Any measurements of creativity? I bet Sinkies are at the bottom of the list.

No one has come out with a 'creativity quotient' yet, because it's difficult to agree on what creativity is, and what parameters to include or exclude from such a measurement.

But the Singaporean education system is tilted heavily towards rote learning and acing exams as well as a narrow emphasis on the sciences, which don't usually bode well for creative thinking.

Actually, the north east asians are crowding the top american universities in the field of science and maths. And they are probably briliant in that kind of circumstances.
And the africans could be at the bottom of the heap.
but that is not what i see on TV every saturday.
those of african descend earns top money playing sports and in the entertainment industries. You can probably described them as genius in this activity.

Hong Kong and singapore two places that produce nothing significant at the top? You gotta be kidding. Maybe they should have a new table. Urban students normally score higher than rural ones. So a more accurate table could be if you make a comparison between cities. I am sure Boston etc may top the score.

Urban dwellers do tend to score higher than rural folks. That said, in practically every major IQ study conducted, north-east Asians and Ashkenazi Jews have come out on top, even for American population samples. So an inter-city comparison will probably favour cities with large N.E. Asian or Jewish populations.

My guess is that Shangahi will probably top the world's cities. In one national study, Shanghai and Jiangsu residents came out tops with an average score of 108:

any iq ranking which ranks singapore in the top 5 has to be seriously flawed. :rolleyes:

Have you ever gone beyond Singapore or even Toa Payoh for that matter to make such a judgement.

IQ tests measure intelligence quotient, i.e. the ability to make logical deductions.
That's why the test usually consists of lots of shapes and numbers so that the people taking the test can logically deduce the next in the sequence.
A well crafted test should not be testing wisdom, language, general knowledge, memory, artistic ability, understanding of cultures, etc, because that is not what intelligence is defined to be.

Most IQ tests only test for 3 types of intelligence: mathematical-logical, visuo-spatial, and verbal-linguistic.

But some psychologists are leaning towards there being multiple intelligences, which include musical, bodily kinaesthetic, naturalist, intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligences.

If tests were devised for these other types of intelligence, some of the currently 'weaker' races might actually come out on top. E.g. blacks might do better than whites or Asians on the musical and bodily kinaesthetic scales. Mozart might have come out very average on logical IQ tests but would score in the genius range in musical IQ.
