There hasn't been a single iq test ever conducted anywhere in Asia. So it's obvious the author is mentally retarded.

Because all users of this site are mentally retarded and cannot read, they will agree with your post.

George, if you see this: What is the origin of the Lynn & 2002 estimate of IQ and 2019 GDP per capita graph? I don't see it in your paper. I wanted to attribute a source.

The graph isn't in the paper. The measure was acquired from David Becker's national IQ dataset available at the website viewonIQ

for IQ and income/gdp per capita

-correlation within group r=0,4

-correlation between groups r=0,8

What is cause of difference?

George,

You found that GDP per capita increases 7.8% for each 1 point increase in IQ. How much does GDP per capita increase when you remove the African data? I asked you the same question on Twitter, and your answer was "almost the same." Could you give me an actual percentage figure? Is it less than 7.8%? More than 7.8%?

Best,

Peter Frost

Hi Peter,

Sorry for not responding. Obviously it takes a little bit of time to change the code and try things out. But I found a 7.7% effect after removing Sub-Saharan African countries and removing the Sub-Saharan African dummy.

Best,

George
