No. Pre 2000s IQ scores from China were largely lower because China didn’t have the infrastructure to support such tests to its full potential. It’s not immigrants. Immigrants are in general more intelligent than people from the US. I’m saying the average IQ of people outside of the US has risen and that is a huge part of the declining IQ in the US. IQ is normalized every year and if the IQ of say China rises significantly every year that would appear as if the US IQ is lowering even if everything in the US actuality stayed the same. If anything immigrants heighten the IQ of the US. Look at the proportion of Faang engineers. These companies essentially require IQ tests for entry. There’s a reason why these companies are overloaded with immigrants or people with origins from abroad. A lot of people making stupid assumptions about what I said in this thread. I am in fact really remarking on China. The economic rise to power makes IQ tests originating from China influence the normalization of IQ in a big way. It’s still offensive to people but I believe on average IQ is generally higher for China than the US. The bell curve is essentially a bit more to the right for China. Also try not to get offended. These are statistical facts. I feel immigrants got offended but really what I’m saying should be offensive to white people. |
