Среднестатистическая Тупость
Введение Спасибо Михаилу Лебедеву за перевод одной из моих наиболее популярных статей про IQ для ВК-общества Great&Sovereign. Вот его краткий обзор: Статья Анатолия Карлина, в которой он при помощи результатов международного математического теста и пары экономических теорий, даёт понимание того, что абстрактные вещи, такие как «средний национальный IQ» означают на практике. И почему, казалось бы,

IQ Регионов России
Наконец-то вышла моя статья про историю и современную реальность IQ в России для Спутника и Погрома: Русская Ноосфера: масштабный обзор уровня IQ по регионам России. С привычным для этого журнала качественным графическим оформлением: Было несколько возражений по поводу моего определения северных русских как финно-славянских метисов (в основном на основе Balanovsky et al. 2011). Не уверен, что это

Результаты PISA 2015 по Регионам России
В новом исследовании про уровень интеллекта по регионам России представлены следующие цифры (Lynn, Cheng, & Grigoriev 2017): По сравнению с результатами 2009 года, Москва упала с первого места до четвертого, а Санкт-Петербург вышел вперед. Правда, справедливости ради, выборки очень небольшие. Корреляция между результатами в 2009 и 2015 году, среди регионов, которые участвовали в обоих случаях,

A Meeting with Hank Pellissier
This Sunday I had the pleasure of meeting up with Hank Pellissier, who used to work for the IEET, a futurist/transhumanist institute, and is now a blogger-journalist and amateur researcher at the Brighter Brains blog. As one may glean from the title of that blog, his current area of major interest lies in IQ and how you

Only 15% of Scandinavian Pupils can do Basic Fractions
Further to my post on the remarkable failure of Scandinavian education systems to develop their students to anywhere near the levels indicated by their IQ potentials, a professor of mathematics at a Wisconsin university sent me data on the percentage of respondents in the TIMSS who gave the correct answer to the following question: Which

Preliminary Thoughts on TIMSS/PIRLS 2012
I had been meaning to post about this for a long time. Better late than never, I suppose. The TIMSS and PIRLS are international assessments of academic ability in math, science and literacy that are conducted once every four years. They are similar to the PISA tests, although the latter are less purely academically focused

Flynn Effect DOES Apply To South Korea
Regular readers of this blog may remember my comments regarding Ron Unz’s theory that East Asians have high IQ’s independent of time/nutrition/urbanization whatever it is that causes the Flynn Effect. Here is his original article on his theory of the “East Asian Exception” and my two responses are here and here. Anyway a new paper

New Delhi Cuts Ties With PISA
India backs out of global education test for 15-year-olds. Indians were put to test for the first time in the last assessment in 2009. On the global stage, they stood second last among 73 countries, only beating Kyrgyzstan on reading, math and science abilities… This time around, sources said India shied away from the assessment as

Minorities’ Cognitive Performance In The UK
Here is data from the Cognitive Abilities Test for UK students in 2009/10 via Ambiguous. Some interesting things to take away here: (1) The sample is very large. Verbal IQ has the highest correlation with academic performance in most subjects, followed by Quantitative IQ, and then Non-Verbal Reasoning (recognizing patterns and such, I imagine). (2) Indians

Analysis Of Russia’s PISA 2009 Results
A few months ago I posted a table and map of Russian IQ’s as derived from regional PISA performance. Those figures are based on Jarkko Hautamäki’s slideshow comparing regional PISA performance in Finland and Russia. That material is a bit inadequate because, as had been my custom up that point, I was only making IQ estimates based

rec1man On Indian IQ
My post on Indian IQ (max potential is low to mid 90’s) spawned an interesting analysis by commentator rec1man. It is not very well organized but he does have a ton of useful information that deserves to be highlighted. It’s reprinted in full below interspersed with occasional commentary by myself: Caste Analysis 75% of the Indian population gets

The Evolution Of Chinese IQ
In the discussion at the previous post, in which I took exception to Ron Unz’s theory of the East Asian Exception, he alerted me to so additional work on the matter he’d done as a Harvard freshman on Chinese IQ. You can read his summary of Social Darwinism and Rural China as well as Steve Sailer’s commentary on
