What's the IQ of Pashtuns?

[altgujjar]

Hi, new here. Not a Pashtun.

Just curious to know if a study has been conducted about Pashtun IQ.

[Aryana]

No, I don't think so. But this map is somewhat of a general guide

This is interesting schematic because it seems to reflect that IQ is less about raw innate reasoning or memorization but level of educational training. India produces some of the most bright minds yet somehow they're ranking lower than Afghanistan?

In Afghanistan, the number of people taking IQ tests is much lower than say India, but education gulfs in India are much broader than those taking IQ tests in Afghanistan. Afghanistan would reflect a significantly more cloudy representative sample than India. Many other factors are involved here too than can be addressed, but this cannot be a raw intelligence measure.

This is pseudo science but if you're interested then here is list of countries and IQ level

[Shamlawar Khurasani]

IQ testing is pseudo science upheld and considered as science for lack of better alternatives.

I don't know how they do the tests with regards to amount of participants, but Afghanistan may score higher than India simply due to the fact that is population size differences of the two countries (Afghanistan 30 million, India 1 billion).

IQ could be merely a result of educational level. East Asians like Japanese, South Koreans and Chinese are definitely more educated than Afghans and Indians (both countries massively underdeveloped, although India is far more developed, but still is a good majority of Indians don't have access to proper education to say the least, likewise in Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc.)

The IQ distrubtion map is more or less consistent with this map showing illitracy levels throughout the world:

this is better map, less % of literate people country have more backward they are



not surprised average person in Sri Lanka is most prosperous out of all south asian countries and most backward and poor country in south asia is Afghanistan.

LMAO @ Pakistani daalkhoors when will they learn?

Not that It matters much, but just wanna point out Afghanistan is certainly not the lowest Asian country (when considering population amounts: Afghanistan 30 million, Porkistan 180 million India 1 billion lmao) but who cares it's still retarded as **** to argue, so I let u porkis pride yourself in this, only thing you can be be ''proud'' about, it seems lol.

[DaZahroJaam.]

these tests are barely accurate in societies where everyone is provided with a similar level of educational background, let alone places where people have never seen a television set in their lives..what are they going to test them all on?? their ability to plow a field or work a keyboard?

[Aryana]

The fact that there are low education rates in Afghanistan might affect the scores. China and other East Asian countries unsurprisingly ranked the highest, but somehow India was shown as having a lower IQ than Afghanistan. This is the map, which happens to include Afghanistan (somehow).

[DaZahroJaam.]

their population is higher.

There is no good study of IQ in global context. Sample sizes of most countries were too small. I know the map that someone up there posted. It's been considered inaccurate and the conclusions drawn on too little information.

Incidentally, I'm interested in knowing what people scored on this IQ test. Will share my results if I see at least 5 realistic answers.

I am confident that I will have more iq than all of you stupid monkeys over here. I will take the test by night and will share my marks honestly.

Took the test but you have to pay for results. Got one for free? Although, most of the "free iq tests" online are bogus anyway.

This test is a rip off.
