You should accept UK for United Kingdom, and US for United States (and note that right now, you have written "State" instead of "States"). Interesting quiz.

Isn´t the average IQ supposed to be 100 or so? Good quiz, as it reflects the source. But it is the source which I don´t believe at all. Not because my home country isn´t included in the top 22, but because of the low low numbers that each nation gets. For example, Equatorial Guinea is 80th on the list with average IQ of 59. I think below 80 is pretty damn low.

Equatorial Guinea at 59? That is ridiculous. Wasn't Forrest Gump's IQ something like 76?

Yeah, you should definitely accept USA as an answer. I tried that and it didn't work, so I just assumed we weren't one of the smarter countries and left it at that, haha.

sox_fan148927 you were close... his IQ is 75 and he was just dumb enough to be considered mentally challenged. When an average IQ of 59 Equatorial Guinea must be a scary place.

is anyone noticing a general lack of Icelan, Norway, and Canada. And I think the average IQ is somewhere around 150.

The author of this study/book, Richard Lynn, is accused of 'scientific racism' for saying that black people are less intelligent, and for being pro-eugenics. Check Wikipedia if you don't believe me...

@newenglander: The average IQ is 100. The thing about any IQ test is it has so much cultural information that it is almost impossible to entirely exclude, so cross-cultural IQ tests can be hard to trust. http://wilderdom.com/personality/intelligenceCulturalBias.html

Yeah, that average IQ is definitely not 150. Genius IQ begins in the 140 range. I'd be shocked if some American states didn't average an IQ of around 80.

LaviniaB: Hungary is where it belongs. Have a look at the list of Hungarian or Hungarian-born Nobel laureates. However, i do miss Canada, Iceland, Norway, Luxembourg, Andorra, Liechtenstein, San Marino and Monaco.

How does Equatorial Guinea have an IQ of 59? Isn't anything below 70 considered mentally handicapped?

Got to agree with what someone said before...the whole point behind an IQ is that it's based on what everyone else has, and how far above or below the average the individual is, therefore the average is always given the base mark of 100. Not faulting the quiz itself, as it's just based on the information given in wikipedia, I just don't trust the source.

the iq test is very culturally biased and very related to income. so of course equatorial guinea and many other low income countries have such low iqs. That's even IF the source were accurate in terms of a "good" sample in each country having taken the "same" iq test (to the extent possible with translation), which seems very difficult to believe.
