Now that I'm done with the Necessary Caveats, it's time we had a look at why exactly HBD/IQ theories are both valid, and relevant to the real world. La Griffe du Lion has an interesting graph on the correlation (.73) between the wealth of nations and their IQs, based on the work of Professors Richard Lynn and Tutu Vanhanen. This means that the distribution of IQs in Singapore is significantly skewed towards the gifted range. You see, the mean IQ in Singapore is, according to IQ and the Wealth of Nations (2002), 104, NOT 100. This is in part I suspect because IQ is something they have, but it is possible that I am being snide in this. Lynn's fourth recent book, along with Tatu Vanhanen, IQ & the Wealth of Nations, received more mixed reviews in academic journals, but this should be taken as a sign of its controversial importance. This terrifying book by Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen, shows us the elephant in the room of politics: the difference between have and have-not nations is. In our IQ and the Wealth of Nations we examined the reliability of the measures by taking 45 countries in which the intelligence of the population has been measured in two or more investigations. It suggests that the average IQ in Africa is around 70 points, compared with much higher averages in East Asia and the West. Take the book by Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen titled IQ and the Wealth of Nations.
