I'll miss Crichton. But not for long - they've got some of his blood from a mosquito and will be cloning him. Eventually he'll lose it and go on a rampage, but it's all in the name of SCIENCE

re: Korinthian Lynn's central finding, by the way, is that colder countries have higher IQs. If you buy that, and this chart, you probably live in a warm climate. :-P though one of the MANY things wrong with IQ testing is that the results are very regionally skewed. Take a smart but poor person who hasn't benefited from a good education, and give him the same test as an idiot who happened to go to a good school. The idiot will test higher. Does that make him smarter? ehhh you'd have to split a lot of hairs to get me to agree. Also, there's no standard IQ test. Tests administered in Thailand are different from IQ tests administered in Florida are different from IQ tests administered in Canada. So how can you compare results? It's almost like saying that people who got 100% right on their driver's exam are smarter than people who got 90% right on their SATs. - Comment on Worldwide IQ (2008-08-13 16:25:01)
SPEAKING AS A FORMER PSYCHOMETRICIAN: Ciao is riding the correct motorcycle. IQ tests are scored regionally. You are scored by your performance relative to the average, which is set at 100. So the worldwide average IQ is 100 by definition. There's a lot of debate about intelligence testing, including its reliability, its validity, and whether or not intelligence is a construct we can actually measure. We can measure certain TYPES of intelligence, but in the end, we can really only measure how good people are at taking IQ tests. But if you look at how these things work, this chart is clearly fudged. If they gave everyone in the world the US standard IQ test, (which, BTW, doesn't exist) the US would score higher than everyone else. If they had a magical non-regional IQ test (doesn't exist) and administered it worldwide, each nation's average would still be 100. - Comment on Circular Reasoning Works Because (2008-07-02 15:43:47)
Ahhh, I loved this post! The other Discordians of project POSTERGASM loved this one so much, we made a bunch of posters from it http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2380/2205000258_2707452e8f.jpg? One of our people even wrote a song about this, called The Brokedowns.
