aren't education standards vastly different in africa too? that would result in lower IQ scores if they don't have the knowledge to be able to answer the questions lmao
No, because then other non English speaking countries would also be lower. Asians are much higher.
A perfect case would be to look at the average majority black school in the USA. A tiny percent are there to learn (see the Bell Curve), while the rest are just causing mayhem for both students and staff.
I didn't say anything about the language they spoke. how are africans supposed to get good IQ test results consistently enough to bring the average up when a lot of them are less educated than a high school graduate in the USA? also, in your "majority black school" example, the reason WHY they're less educated is because they're not there to learn, they're just there to cause mayhem. IQ tests require you to be EDUCATED or you won't understand how to solve the problem no matter how smart you really are. in both cases you mentioned the people in question are not EDUCATED enough to do well on the IQ test, even if they're literally geniuses. all you're doing with these "black people dumb" comments is pushing division when you should be doing the opposite.
IQ is not based on education level. There are IQ tests for 6-year-olds. The point of the test is to measure one's cognitive ability, irrelevant of socio-economic background.
I didn't say IQ is based on education level. my point is when the IQ test involves math how are you supposed to get good scores if you don't know how to do the math involved in the test?
