Richard Lynn or Cochran et al., purported to show lower average IQ scores for Oriental/Mizrahi Jews compared to Ashkenazi Jews, in Israel, these findings are disputed and often fail to account for social, environmental, and educational factorsIt is only the Askenazi Jews who are unusually intelligent. Nevertheless, they are about 80% of all Jews.
In Christian Europe Jews were not allowed to practice most trades and professions. They were allowed to practice finance. Finance requires intelligence. Jews who could not learn the skills left the faith, or they did not get married and have children.
Full disclosure: I can't do finance. My sister is my financial advisor.![]()
