The Smartest Race

Name: Anonymous 2008-03-04 20:21

No, I'm not a racist, nor am I Caucasian, but I've been reading ramblings that tend to suggest that the two "smartest" races on the planet are the Chinese and Indians. From what I've read, this is mostly based on IQ tests and universal academic performance. I believe this goes under genetics, but which group(s) do you guys think has grown to be intellectually superior and why?

IQ tests are made based on the location of the place they're given.  So on average, every area should come out to be 100, or else the test isn't written correctly.

As such, I could go to Ethiopia, take the test and declare myself the smartest man alive, because the knowledge I have is much better than that of the Ethiopians.

You'd have to check on a global scale, the type of work being done, and come up with a scale to measure ingenuity and progress before we can really get a conclusive answer.
