It's beautiful but there really are a lot of black jean wearing, V8 on blocks having, ACDC rocking bogans out here. And the guys are pretty rough cut too.

For one, I can't believe Poland is ahead of the U.S...secondly, The US is responsible for the most inventions or innovative products on the face of the earth hands down! We even invented the internet and automobile to name a few.

Oh dear, all automobile development from the 18th to late 19th century took place in Europe. Which American do you think invented the automobile ?

The internet was not invented, it evolved.

Everyone knows that Scotland invented the modern world. http://www.amazon.com/How-Scots-Invented-Modern-World/dp/0609809997

If Scotland was ranked it would be at the top. Including the dumb English brings down the UK's rate.

What the hell do you mean by 'we'? Did you help invent those things? As the third biggest population in the world and the biggest population of the western world by far, it shouldn't come as a surprise there are some very inventive people there. Doesn't change the fact that the average IQ in the US is below 100.

This IQ test is entirely based on the quantitative abilities and does not take into account verbal and creative skills, hence East Asians doing the best, but they are about as creative as mud.

The internet was originally invented by the US Military in case of a Nuclear war for communication purposes. The world wide web was invented by a European. I stand corrected on the automobile and was misinformed in business school:
