Wikipedia? LOL, you know NOTHING of Lynn's work, NOTHING of said data sets.
NOTHING comes close to the said tome and the correlation it makes between IQ and GDP, NOTHING!
No sociologist has EVER put forward ANYTHING close to that which Lynn and Vanhanen present.
The sad fact is, that for all your bluster you have NO original work to present, just mere whimsy about vague socioeconomics.
You can present no data model that confounds the conclusions reached by Lynn, NONE!
It's always the same old bullshit story from you; the whites are racist, the scores for blacks are incorrect.
Well, why not the other way around? Why do we NEVER hear you say "The THIRTY THREE tests from various African countries - with five in the 75 to 80 range, and 28 below that - are depressingly correct, but the Chinese score of 107 is probably too low, they are probably capable of scoring 120 on average"?
Answer? You are an apologist for genetic inability; you have ZERO interest in science, preferring instead to spew whimsy as an explanation for the poor performance on the part of Africans.
Honestly, instead of pulling down the work that show blacks ALWAYS being beaten by ALL OTHER RACES, work that TIME AND TIME AGAIN shows the EXACT spread of bell curve as demonstrated by Murray et al., why don't you PROVE YOUR POINT BY POINTING TO STUDIES SHOWING BLACKS AT THE TOP OF THE TREE...oh yeah, you can't because no such studies exist!
I'd settle for you showing us an IQ test that demonstrates everyone is equal...oh yeah, it doesn't exist either. Doh!
BOTTOM LINE: YOU CAN DO NEITHER!!
Oh and let's merely gloss over the fact that Tatu Vanhanen was pursued by the police for his comments about the book, YES THAT'S THE WORLD YOU AND YOUR PISSANT CROWD HAVE CRAFTED! We can't even look at these topics in an objective scientific light without threat of JAIL TIME. Of course if your side was confident in your beliefs no such punishment would be needed - you could merely expose the genetic side as being false by showing us studies which demonstrate equality.
Oh, but they don't exist.
Nothing comes close eh? Haha please. A quick fact check would prove otherwise
For example, the majority of the data points in Lynn's book "IQ and the Wealth of Nations" were not based on residents of the countries in question. The datum for Suriname was based on tests given to Surinamese who had migrated to the Netherlands, and the datum for Ethiopia was based on the IQ scores of a highly selected group that had emigrated to Israel, and, for cultural and historical reasons, was hardly representative of the Ethiopian population. The datum for Mexico was based on a weighted averaging of the results of a study of “Native American and Mestizo children in Southern Mexico” with result of a study of residents of Argentina.
The datum that Lynn and Vanhanen used for the lowest IQ estimate, Equatorial Guinea, was the mean IQ of a group of Spanish children in a home for the developmentally disabled in Spain
Other studies have found that blacks in Africa with a good education score better on IQ and other standardized tests than do whites. Crawford-Nutt (1976) found that African black students enrolled in westernized schools scored higher on progressive matrix tests than did American white students. The study was meant to examine perceptual/cultural differences between groups, and demonstrated that one’s performance on western standardized tests correspond more closely with the quality and style of schooling that one receives more so than other factors.
Which is exactly what the Flynn effect correlates to. Better environment for learning and study throughout the generations WHICH is what Gladwell eloquently points out. Meanwhile your racist vdare rubbish tries to discredit him. While all these pioneer fund lackies circle the wagon to skew science to prove something which is not true. Blacks (or any race) are not fundamentally less intelligent than another race, when all given the equal opportunity they have shown to be on par.
Shuttleworth-Edwards et al (2004) conducted a study with black South Africans between the ages of 19–30, where highly significant effects for both level and quality of education within groups whose first language was an indigenous black African language, was revealed. Black African first language groups (as well as white English speaking groups) with advantaged education were comparable with the US standardization in IQ test scores (e.g. WAIS-III)
In a critical review of The Bell Curve, psychologist Leon Kamin accused Lynn of disregarding scientific objectivity, misrepresenting data, and racism.[40] Kamin argues the studies of cognitive ability of Africans in Lynn's meta-analysis cited by Herrnstein and Murray show strong cultural bias. Kamin also criticized Lynn for "concocting" IQ values from test scores that have no correlation to IQ.[41] Furthermore, Kamin argues Lynn selectively excluded a study that found no difference in White and Black performance, and ignored the results of a study which showed Black scores were higher than White scores.
Sh*t i didn't even have to try to find this information. It's so easily obtainable. Really MattC you should move out of Bumfu*k Manitoba and lose the small minded racism. You never know you might even find that these dark skinned people you demonize aren't quite so bad after all.
