Not only is this study just a publication by four people who wrote a book, but it's also quite racist.

"Groups within the US score different average IQ's, such as 115 for college grads or 85 for African-Americans. "


The studies were limited and criticized by other psychologists such as Earl Hunt, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Washington, who said the content was "questionable".


According to the 2006 publication of Richard Lynn's book which was updated with recent and "less biased" statistics, Canada is actually above USA: http://www.photius.com/rankings/nati...try_ranks.html

Every other site I visit seems to suggest the 2006 study is the same: http://www.eutimes.net/2009/11/iq-by-country/


In conclusion, nobody gives a shit.

Take that, canaderps.
IQ is never a good measure for your actual intelligence. In addition to that, please refer to the factors that contributed to the study as kommi has pointed out.

@mode: wow, is THAT what she says? No wonder I can't understand a word she speaks.

I was more referring to the show hosted by Larry the Cable Guy where he goes around and finds crazy people with crazier dreams, hence the double meaning.

*sigh*

Believe it or not I think that was somewhat the original idea. Strong independent state governments tied by a loose federal government. Instead now it's pretty much the opposite.
