Can somebody just ban this loser. Every thread is about race because as usual this guy is a loser in life so the only way he feels superior is race related.
Alot like Irish Dave with whom I am still waiting for proof of his successful life.

Very good observation.

Says the guy with the username "Supreme Being" lol I think this video may have made you feel VERY butt hurt lol - but then you never watched it did you? Cos you don't really think to deeply or feel the need to know the facts do you?

Why would I watch dumb shit about IQ in Mexico. Does it make you feel superior knowing you have a higher IQ than guys in Mexico, hope that helps when you are flipping burgers.
I guarantee you are a loser in life who vents his frustration on the Internet.

It is a fascinating video that addresses issues which are HUGE in the social and political climate atm.
I would argue that is why it is relevant and interesting.
BUT I suspect that is lost on you, as you are probably on the challenged end of the spectrum and have nothing of value to add here.
-
Are you for real? Every one of your threads is about race and I can see right through people like you. Typical shitty life loser.
Just read any of my posts, trust me your IQ nor intelligence or success is even close to my level. Moreover, I havr provided proof of this after my last argument with another resident racist loser Irish Dave - just ask BigMC.

I could simply list my last 10 threads and prove that that statement is crap.
Gee you really are dumb aren't you.
-
What is your profession in the real world? Just be honest.

Most likely...
-
My last 10 threads:
Average IQ in Mexico - race based
When Europeans colonised the world... - race based
Average IQ of getbiggers? - non race based
Popular saying in China - not racist in any way - if anything negative to Americans
rows for thickness - pull downs for width - non race based
Monica Brandt appreciation thread - non race based
Protein brahs on Fear the Walking Dead - non race based
Jason Genova does signing of photos for fans at club - non race based
bodybuilding.com should be banned by the feds - non race based
Question for getbiggers about their moms... - non race based
now why don't you shut up before you embarrass your self further Supreme Being ::)

Ashkenazi Jews have the highest IQ so it's no surprise they are some of the top earners...High IQ is directly correlated to income I don't see this fact as racist. This is not to say that there aren't high IQ men and women in all races..look up Thomas Sowell, Booker t Washington, James Baldwin etc. for eg ... IQ is just an over view. The sooner we learn to accept the differences between races the better and the sooner we can work on narrowing the IQ gap.
In the NBA blacks dominate - There are a few very tall Chinese players... but telling all Asians it's because you are discriminate against will just cause frustration and resentment....
Simply putting Asians on a basketball court and forcing an Asian quota in the NBA won't make asians taller over time...accept we all have limitations and a certain capacity, be happy, do something you are good at and enjoy it.
it may make people feel better but This "everyone is equal and if you aren't it's because of discrimination" thing is a crock of shit.

Don't play stupid. I have been a member on this board for so long and usually check in and lurk every couple of days and majority of your posts are about race.
We all have a tendency towards being racist especially when we are younger (i certainly did to some degree) but as you progress in life you tend to grow up and realise hate and bigotry is not going to get you anywhere. Moreover, most successful people (non-sociopaths anyway) just don't have that much hate in them as they tend to be content and happy with their own lives.
Just grow up a little mate and realise that just because your white does not make you superior to a successful black/Mexican man.

In MY younger years I was someone who actually actively defended minorities.
The political climate in the USA and Europe today is very ANTI-WHITE and my posts regarding race are a counter balance to that. No apologies.
Added to that, the majority of my negative racial posts here are responses to racist blacks like Saint Anger and company. No apologies.
I don't consider myself superior to anybody based on the color of my skin.

Not sure if you are addressing me?
No doubt there are individual in other races that are far smarter than me, I look up to them. I’m not butt hurt as a white that east Asians and Jews have higher IQ than whites do.
What I'm saying is due to cultural upbringing, poor nutrition, single parenting, perhaps genetics no one knows overall there is a difference in IQ between races,
Yes, It's controversial but it's a fact. deal with it.
-
So you think its harder being a White man in US and Europe than a coloured man? If so you are extremely delusional.
-

I guess that puts you above 88.

No im not addressing you. What you are mentioning regarding IQ and how we are not all the same is not ground breaking nor profound. Everyone with some logic knows this. I really am not getting into this debate as i do not disagree with the majority of your statements - i don't even have time to respond to them actually.
My only post is to Muscleman who is always talking about race and it starts to get real negative and annoying hearing racist comments all the time.
-

If you believe it is...then it is.
If you believe it isn't...then it isn't.
-

I never said that. If you think that I said that then you have reading comprehension issues.

This IQ evaluation cannot be accurate, because everyone is on tequila and beer in Mexico.

Same thing could be said being a white man living in Asia or South America
It's just western society/culture is the forefront of the world and most everyone would rather live in Europe or US which every modern innovation is from

For now Western society is the forefront of the world. Still some of the greatest Cities in the world all have a high degree of immigrants and mixed cultures.
I have done business all around the world and i still have to say being a white man makes life so much easier even in Asian Countries. Going to Thailand, India, Dubai, Kenya etc i have found white men get treated very well be it from the women or the men.

Guys, please stop responding to this TROLL Supreme Being. He has been outed as a troll by others and now I give you the icing on the cake....
Forget the animal like beating but listen to the disgusting hyenas in the background - i guarantee if those bitchess were anything but not black they would not be reacting that way.
Disgusting low IQ people - worst people ever, really are not on the same mentality level as the rest of the world. Black people are pure disgusting - and stop with the bullshit that these are 'Nig*as' not 'black' people, what percentage are actually hard working black people - probably less than 25% in my opinion.
-
So, the low IQ is the correlation to the brutality and savagery seen there?
The excess violence, flaying of skin etc?

So out of curiosity I decided to google this, and found this map:

Here's the list from highest to lowest:

I'm not very surprised about China, Japan, and South Korea being at the top, but India surprised me. Indian people I've been around here in Canada are all generally very hard working and smart. Most of our pre-med and medical programs are filled with Indian and East Asian people.

Read: THE BELL CURVE By Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murry.
Had LBJ, with his laughable Great Society program, back in the 1960s, really wanted to solve the social problems and poverty in the USA, he should have required that anyone getting government handouts, would first be required to have their tubes tied, so that they couldn't reproduce. Basically telling the low life: "here's your free money, just don't leave us with any more shit people such as you."
Had such an enlightened policy been instituted back in the 1960s, most of the social problems that we have today wouldn't exist, because those social problems would never have been born, to plague society. Unfortunately, government social programs have encouraged the lowest life forms in society, shit people, to breed like flies, at the expense of useful productive taxpayers. The results are clear. More government handouts, have created more and more social problems, and the births of millions of stupid, ugly children, who are nothing but a burden to society, and who are the destroyers of society, who can't wait to commit their first crimes as children.

As for China, Japan, and Korea having the highest IQs, totally bogus. In those societies, IQ testing isn't done until later in a child's school career, after it has been decided what position in life the child will hold. Those that are headed for higher education, have their IQs tested. The rest go to trade school or farming, and are never tested for IQ at all. Most Asians are stupid peasants.

I know this is a taboo but that's how it is according to these studies on IQ.

Telling the truth is offensive to hypocrites and liars. The fact is Africa will always be a shit hole, because the "people" there are really too stupid to be considered real human beings.

Apparently :D
Mental deficiency used to be divided into the following sub-classifications, but these labels began to be abused by the public and are now largely obsolete: Borderline Deficiency (IQ 70-80), Moron (IQ 50-69), Imbecile (IQ 20-49) and Idiot (below 20). Mental deficiency is now generally called mental retardation.

I think the cream of the crop in India gets the fuck out of that country and colonize Western countries. It is a population based study, and there is a lot of poverty and uneducated in India. The smart are incredibly bright; go to any medical school or Ivy League school. However, the poor are not smart or too uneducated to know better.
I am shocked that Canadians are higher than the US. Every Canadian I have met was a complete dipshit.

Who takes iq tests, anyway? I can't think of a single person I definitively know to have taken one. And for such an oft-mentioned test, you'd think the some standard implementation would have become a household name.
Who was it who said, "everybody wants to be a genius, but don't nobody wanna take no boringass test!'
???

There is a household name and standard implementation for determining one's IQ.
Just because you don't know it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. :-\ :-\

So what is it? If it's a 'household name' then I'm sure most here will be familiar?
-
I've read IQ tests are not a good indicator of intelligence, since they only measure logical thinking. And that other "types" of intelligence like social intelligence, musical intelligence, etc can't be measured.
-
So what is it? If it's a 'household name' then I'm sure most here will be familiar?
haha lol. Why would most here be familiar with it, unless you do assessment or diagnostic testing? ??? ???
Its the most popular used test to determine one's IQ and is the most used for psychological/educational testing purposes among psychologists, psychiatrists, school psychologists, etc. It has the greatest reliability and validity and is currently the number one IQ assessment measure.
Again, just because it is not know within the getbig circle, it doesn't mean it does not exist. As if, getbig is the end-all, be-all haha lol
You can do your own research to find out. Just google it.

You're referring to Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligence.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_multiple_intelligences
You are correct, there are many different types of intelligence. However, there is an EXTREMELY high correlation between IQ score and specific jobs (neurosurgeon, nuclear physicist). Whether you like it or not, IQ does highly determine what type of job you will have. Not everyone can be a world learning neurosurgeon (brain surgeon). It's just the way it is. In that sense, they ARE a good indicator in determining academic-based intelligence/jobs. Of course they can't predict who will be the next Michael Jordan.
Of course, they don't measure musical or artistic ability; however, they never stated that they measure these things and do not purport to. They don't make claims about someone's musical or artistic ability, and they never stated that was their intention.

The point is that virtually everyone has discussed an iq test at some point (probably many) in their life. How many people have actually taken one?
Isn't it a little odd? Blood tests, school tests, driving tests, fitness tests, we've all taken them... Why haven't we all taken an iq test?
-

Once upon a time all public school children took IQ tests. It was mandatory, in the 4th, 8th, and 12th grades. Political pressure was put on public schools to get rid of IQ testing, as blacks and hispanics scored regularly at subhuman levels. Critics claimed that IQ test discriminated against certain persons. Laughable, because all tests, not just IQ tests, are designed to discriminate against those who are too stupid to pass them!

As someone already stated earlier, IQ tests are flawed. Common sense, street smarts, charisma, and work ethic are far more important.
I was an honors student in most of my classes in high school, however, I was terrible at advanced levels in math. I personally never grasped the need for it in real life (for me) so I zoned out. I was never going to be a rocket scientist anyway ;)
Upper levels of math are literally useless for the average person. It's like being an athlete for nerds.

I mean, why is it even a question? Its obvious why. It's not a necessity like a blood test is. Most people make it just fine through life without taking an IQ test. Most people don't make it fine through life without getting blood drawn to assess their health. Why is any other reason needed? Any logical person could figure out why you would need a blood test, but not an IQ test. :-\ :-\
As a side not: IQ tests are NOT flawed. They measure what they measure. As such, they have adequate reliability and validity in terms of the constructs they measure. In that sense, they are NOT flawed. They would be considered flawed if they purported to measure construct X, but did not have adequate reliability or validity to measure X construct.
Just as a I said to El Numero Uno: They are a strong predictor regarding later occupation. Obvious, they don't tell the whole story. Nonetheless, there is a high correlation between IQ testing and job obtainment.

A blood test is necessary? For what? "Assessing health"? So only those born in the last century were capable of "assessing their health". ???
And since when did necessity determine popularity? I would think tons of people would be curious to learn their IQ, or "measure their intelligence" in other words, just as they like to measure their height, weight, etc. I would think you could purchase and take an IQ test at any street corner.

Nope, but we learn a lot more and determined that regular blood tests are a very good way of assessing health and possibly catching diseases/disorders. For instance, I know someone who caught an early tumor because something on their blood test was raised. He probably would not have known otherwise. Early screenings and blood tests have saved lives, compared to 100 years ago. So, yes, we are better at assessing our health these days and it is more needed than an IQ test.
Necessity always seems to determine popularity in our culture.

Do you have evidence for this? I'm curious.
The reason why people have such a difficult time believing the strong connection between IQ and job status, is because we have falsely been led to believe that "anything is possible." It's just not the case. We are determined, to an extent, by our biology and our environment. When Mr. Smith looks down at his son and says, "You can do anything you put your mind to," we know that dad is not telling his son the truth (either he is just trying to boost his self-esteem or actually thinks anything is possible). People do not want to believe that something predetermined, like IQ, which is sort of out of your control, can have such an impact on your life. It does. This is why IQ rarely varies within a maybe 5-7 point range. Take an IQ test at 20, and your IQ will be roughly the same in 10, 20, or 30 years later.

Do you have evidence for this? I'm curious.
Music is almost like math.
They are closely related.

Hmmm, interesting!

And that kid is great a calculus too! Not really.

Scientific racism thread of peas!

Nope, but we learn a lot more and determined that regular blood tests are a very good way of assessing health and possibly catching diseases/disorders. For instance, I know someone who caught an early tumor because something on their blood test was raised. He probably would not have known otherwise. Early screenings and blood tests have saved lives, compared to 100 years ago. So, yes, we are better at assessing our health these days and it is more needed than an IQ test.
Necessity always seems to determine popularity in our culture.
Interesting definition of 'necessary'.
I guess the Kardashians fit into it somehow, as well.

Most likely...
Hahahahaha, lol.

You can get a decent rough guess of someone's IQ and intelligence through a brief 5-10 minute conversation with them.

Racism is scientific. A racist has a firm grasp on reality. Those who are opposed to racism, and claim to be non-racist, live in an airy fairy pretend world, without any handle on reality, and really have a suicide wish.

The reason why people have such a difficult time believing the strong connection between IQ and job status, is because we have falsely been led to believe that "anything is possible." It's just not the case. We are determined, to an extent, by our biology and our environment.

Well, note quite evidence as of absolute truth. Because absolute truths rarely can be given.
Plenty to read about the subject however can be found from various sources.

I didn't ask for absolute truth ;) ;) I asked for evidence. Evidence hardly ever equates to absolute truth, and I never purported that it does (no good researcher would equate evidence with absolute truth). There really is little in life that is "absolute truth." We have evidence about a lot of things; we hardly ever ascertain the absolute truth about anything.
However, thank you for that source. I will look into it when I take a break from working. Blah!

This thread was the most informative of recent treads. Well worth a read, or a reread.

So, ... this is your agenda?

I think the cream of the crop in India gets the fuck out of that country and colonize Western countries. It is a population based study, and there is a lot of poverty and uneducated in India. The smart are incredibly bright; go to any medical school or Ivy League school. However, the poor are not smart or too uneducated to know better.
I am shocked that Canadians are higher than the US. Every Canadian I have met was a complete dipshit.
The Canadian public education system is on a way higher level than the American public education system up until the university level, and then its debatable. I'm talking about averages in public schools, not private or affluent area public schools. In Canada, even the poorest of areas have decent education. The same can't be said for ghetto schools in the States, where its basically a grown-up kindergarten.
When it comes to university education, then there can be debate, since the US has all the Ivy schools and Canada has none. Canada has a few well known and respected universities, but the US has a lot more.
If your argument is about "natural intelligence" (or street smarts) then clearly you've met some dumb-ass Canadians, and that's not really a representative of the whole population. Just like saying that all Americans are bad at global geography, as is the stereotype.
