Nobody ever wants to talk about the two elephants in the room.

One is the cause of most social ills and overuse of resources - Overpopulation.

The other is this map:

I remember Community Chest, it scratch tickets etc. Now that I am older, I realised what the ANC did to these organisations (charities) is exactly the same what they are planning to do the Medical Aids. Same game plan.

Create one body replacing the original bodies. Make it illegal for those bodies to continue to operate. Pool the funds and steal.

So as a South African, are you more to the 74 side or to the 83 side?

Please enlighten me. And where do you see yourself on the scale?
The colours indicate the country falls within the 74-83 average IQ range. South Africa's average IQ is 77. You can have a lower or higher IQ than the range or the average...

Do you understand how averages work? There are outliers.
1st of all there are valid concerns on the IQ test and how it was used.
2ndly Integrity and honesty has nothing to do with Intelligence, you get very intelligent thieves and fraudsters.

There are always concerns for just about anything. Especially when people score lower than what they expect. Then the test is obviously the problem and not the person.

It depends on your upbringing and morals instilled.

Then why bring it up?

If you are taught in a language you dont understand and then get tested in that language you would also do poorly. There is a thread about teaching in a child mother tongue, I brought up what is currently happening in (previously coloured only) schools where black kids are entering these schools and are not able to speak English. Teacher are teaching, one black kid then translate to the rest of the class. Teacher is not sure if the kid is translating accurately and whether or not the other kids understand.

I will give you another example, imagine if English is a third language, and you have to take a test in American English, just the different terminology can trip you up. For Example Stock: in SA it means the products a company sells and keeps in the stores/warehouses, whilst in USA it means Company Shares.

No I did not, I simply raise the point where is he on the scale, why, because intelligence and integrity is not related, he is convince of it and so are you, since you like his post.

You then continued, to which I responded.

Both correct. Except that:

1. today Raven's matrices are used so that language and culture are not reflected in IQ tests:

Raven Matrices is the test of intelligence. It was designed to measure the level of both intellectual development and logical thinking. You can determine the adults' IQ, aged 14 to 65, regardless of nationality, religion, and other differences with its help. This test appeared back in 1936 thanks to John Raven.


2. Integrity and IQ seem related and as stated, there are outliers. But there is a correlation between a country's GDP and it's average IQ:

An article published this month in Psychological Science shows a substantial relationship between the IQ of the top 5% of a country's IQ scores (their 'cognitive elites') and national income. There is a very strong IQ wealth relationship. For every additional IQ point in that group, a country's per capita GDP was $468 higher.

I never said intelligence and integrity are related.
