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?
There are Bongard, Raven's Progressive Matrices, Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale tests. For these, the subject is often asked to identify missing elements in a pattern.
Take a look at some of these practice examples. One does not need to have studied any math to answer these questions. The directions can be read aloud by the test administrator if the subject does not know how to read.

well whatever, I don't feel like having this discussion anymore anyway
