Isn’t it kind of obvious that the Jews would have a higher linguistic IQ given that they were basically nomads for hundreds of years? Generation after generation learning different languages will improve a group’s knowledge of languages.
Asians have higher IQs than sub-Saharan Africans and aboriginal Australians! Obvious because of their place and circumstance in the world. I don’t think any race has less potential to have a high IQ than another race...it’s just circumstances, in my opinion. It’s not heart-breaking it’s just the way the world is now but that will change over time as the whole world develops.

Yeah I don't like that IQ tests are seen as some kind of absolute measure of human intelligence. Is logical reasoning the only defining factor? To me it seems like a very narrow way of looking at it.
