Researchers try to disprove Western claims about ‘low IQs in Africa’ and get BAD news…

Talk about painting yourself into a corner. Idiot.

You can talk about anything you like, even painting, I doubt it will be very interesting though, watching it dry will be more interesting than listening to you talk about it, meat head.

Don't you have any sites for whinging poms? There're about 5 or 6 of you here who might find it more at ease with your whingy mates.

Nah, kicking the crap out of low IQ maga supporters is much more fun.

Can leftists explain why countries with high IQ, Japan and S. Korea, have far better standard of living than Somalia and Haiti if IQ is simply some test that doesn’t prove much?

Finding out what most of us already know.

But the open borders crowd wans low IQ immigrants to feed off the system across the West, and of course for demographics too. That is how evil the left is.

​

It all started when an Africa-based research team decided to challenge and prove wrong a very long-standing claim in Western circles about low IQ levels in African countries. Instead of continuing to argue about it, they decided to put these claims to the test. They conducted a large-scale IQ assessment in Lagos, Nigeria, with a mixed bag of participants over the age of 16.​

​

The results were not what they wanted and are what’s going viral.​

​

As it turns out, those “Western circles” were right all along.​

​

According to the data they shared, the average score came in around 73, with a median just under 70. More than half of participants actually scored below 70. These are numbers that are way below the average.​

​

​

Aside from the education issues and poor nutrition, some of this may come down to language. That’s what an American philosophy teacher who spent over a decade teaching at African universities says.​

​

Halcyo Initiative:​

​

I am an American who taught philosophy in several African universities from 1976 to 1988, and have lived since that time in South Africa. When I first came to Africa, I knew virtually nothing about the continent or its people, but I began learning quickly. I noticed, for example, that Africans rarely kept promises and saw no need to apologize when they broke them. It was as if they were unaware they had done anything that called for an apology.​

​

It took many years for me to understand why Africans behaved this way but I think I can now explain this and other behavior that characterizes Africa. I believe that morality requires abstract thinking—as does planning for the future—and that a relative deficiency in abstract thinking may explain many things that are typically African.​

​

What follow are not scientific findings. There could be alternative explanations for what I have observed, but my conclusions are drawn from more than 30 years of living among Africans.​

​

My first inklings about what may be a deficiency in abstract thinking came from what I began to learn about African languages. In a conversation with students in Nigeria I asked how you would say that a coconut is about halfway up the tree in their local language. “You can’t say that,” they explained. “All you can say is that it is ‘up’.” “How about right at the top?” “Nope; just ‘up’.” In other words, there appeared to be no way to express gradations.​

​

A few years later, in Nairobi, I learned something else about African languages when two women expressed surprise at my English dictionary. “Isn’t English your language?” they asked. “Yes,” I said. “It’s my only language.” “Then why do you need a dictionary?”​

​

They were puzzled that I needed a dictionary, and I was puzzled by their puzzlement. I explained that there are times when you hear a word you’re not sure about and so you look it up. “But if English is your language,” they asked, “how can there be words you don’t know?” “What?” I said. “No one knows all the words of his language.”​

​

I have concluded that a relative deficiency in abstract thinking may explain many things that are typically African.​

Are you saying African blacks are just as smart as Korean and Japanese with the ability to find a cure for cancer and building nuclear power plants?

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

This all harkens back to the question asked by famed Cal-Berkeley sociologist and former East St Louis Flyer, Dr. Harry Edwards, when confronted with the obvious prowess of athletic skill among blacks, “How black must you be?”

 

[drudge X]

I get a kick when leftists say these test are based upon white standards and therefore unfair to blacks. I also never heard an honest answer from leftists as why Asians have no problem doing equally or better than whites. Can you imagine the world we live in now if everything we know from science, engineering, and technology are based on African standards? The advancement is probably stuck at the bicycle stage at best.

^^^Supports the same crowd of loons that run around claiming homosexuals are 'born that way n stuff', and there are 4,678 genders or something.

Homos ARE born that way. Im a straight man and i assure you that its physically impossible for me to be gay. I cant just suddenly choose to be turned on by men.

Go ahead and test it out for yourself. Put a gay porno on and "choose" to be gay. Just do it for 30 seconds. Lets see if you get an erection after you "choose" to be gay.

My first question is what test did they use. Its not mentioned anywhere. I question the validity of the low scores. A score of 70 is a mental disability which would be impossible.
Average mean IQ is 100. It isnt believable the a score as low as 70 could be the mean

 

[DGS49]

Nobody knows what IQ actually measures, claiming it measures "intelligence" is ridiculous.

IQ tests seem to measure one's ability to do IQ tests, that's it.

Only an ignoramus would type this. IQ measures the ability to solve problems. While different people are more and less intelligent in specific areas, the general principle has been known for a hundred years at least.

It measure the ability to answer IQ questions, why do you think that capacity is all there is to "intelligence"?

And the people in the southern states continue to also be low IQ. Funny how once they get out of that culture their IQ goes up. Same for Africa. Your bigotry is showing.

Take two people same measured IQ at 8 years old, put one in rural Africa or southern US states, the other in a home and community with high intellectual standards, measure their IQ at 20, guess what you will find. Problem solving in not something that is automatic to most people. And then you have the 'naturals' that occur in all populations;

Zero evidence for it. Less than 10% are exclusively homosexual, until the fake ;science' campaign to BS the public with the 'born that way' scam. There is no 'gay gene'.

A massive study of half a million people finds no single gene behind sexual orientation, adding more evidence that there is no “gay gene”

But collectively, genes do play a role in sexual orientation.

Then there are all those men who were married for decades, had children, then suddenly became 'homosexual'.

Before the current brainwashing campaigns and fake science over 65% of homosexuals claimed to have been molested as children by adult males. Now these days they're told to parrot the BS that they have 'always felt homo n stuff' to further the 'normalization' scam.
