IQ is short for Intelligence Quotient. It is part of an approach to measuring intelligence. The abbreviation was coined by the psychologist William Stern for the German term Intelligenz-quotient, his term for a scoring method for intelligence tests he advocated in a 1912 book. When current IQ tests are developed, the median raw score of the norming sample is defined as IQ 100 and scores each standard deviation (SD) up or down are defined as 15 IQ points greater or less, although this was not always so historically. By this definition, approximately two-thirds of the population scores an IQ between 85 and 115, and about 5 percent of the population scores above 125.
Here are some essays on the point. One surprising result from IQ And The Wealth of Nations is the IQ given for Israel. At 94 it is a deal lower than the average of 100. A lot of Jews are very high achievers in science, maths, business, slave trading, major fraud, political manipulation, drug dealing and other fields needing brains and an ability to get away with crime. NB It seems that Ashkenazi Jews have the brains - see #Race And Intelligence but that Ethiopian Jews are gormless. The least intelligent being Bushmen in South West Africa.
Fred told us recently, in January 2019 that research in genetics is going to pin down the genes that determine intelligence. He knows, like everyone else that it is hereditary. The Lunatic Fringe deny it because it does not fit their agenda and they know/suspect/believe that science is going to prove them wrong. Read The White Man’s Burden Reflections on the Custodial State then decide whether it is true of not.

A recent essay, written in May 2021 by Steve Sailer [ His Wiki write up is down right hostile; very much a point in his favour ] entitled Twins Across Space And Time is about how IQ testing is affected by the Nature Versus Nurture issue. The comments are good too.
It is thought that men's intelligence ranges more than it does in women. More men are very intelligent than their sisters. Vice versa, the stupid ones are very stupid. This was demonstrated by recruits in Viet Nam. They were called #MacNamaras Morons. Unkind but true. You can't fix stupid.
Further commentary comes from James Thompson, an Englishman(?)is at Not Unreasonable.
Fluid And Crystallized Intelligence
It seems that fluid intelligence is the raw ingredient, native wit, the sort that enables you to learn a language without knowing a language exists. The crystalline form is knowing and using ideas to build.

Quasi-Intellectuals
We need intellectuals, people of high intelligence or do we? Some of them advance knowledge in worthwhile ways. A large and growing number are dangerous destructive rogues or fools. Some, all too many of them bring us the Protocols Of The Learned Elders of Cambridge and the Protocols Of The Learned Elders Of Oxford, where the Lunatic Fringe holds sway. They are a result of Mob Psychology.

IQ and Personality
QUOTE
I recently came across some statistics* about the personality traits of high-IQ persons (those who are in the top 2 percent of the population). The statistics pertain to a widely used personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). In the MBTI there are four pairs of complementary personality traits (which I sketch below): Extraverted/Introverted, Sensing/iNtuitive, Thinking/Feeling, and Judging/Perceiving. Thus, there are 16 possible personality types in the MBTI: ESTJ, ENTJ, ESFJ, ESFP, and so on.

IQ And The Wealth of Nations
QUOTE
IQ and the Wealth of Nations is a controversial 2002 book by Dr. Richard Lynn, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Ulster, Northern Ireland, and Dr. Tatu Vanhanen, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Tampere, Tampere, Finland. The book argues that differences in national income (in the form of per capita gross domestic product) correlate with differences in the average national intelligence quotient (IQ). The authors interpret this correlation as showing that IQ is one important factor contributing to differences in national wealth and rates of economic growth, but that it is not the only determinant of these differences. The data, methodology, and conclusions have been criticized.
UNQUOTE
The book was criticized. Does this mean it is wrong? No! Does it mean that various people do not like what they wrote? Yes! If honest men look at the evidence and draw conclusions they may well be right and provably so. A lot of propagandists are more than happy to abuse our ignorance of IQ testing, psychology and other issues. It is the same with Global Warming, another Red Herring used to distract us from the truth and honest government.
IQ Will Put You In Your Place
QUOTE
Imagine several hundred families which face few of the usual problems that plague modern society. Unemployment is zero. Illegitimacy is zero. Divorce is rare and occurs only after the children's most formative years. Poverty is absent - indeed, none of the families is anywhere near the poverty level. Many are affluent and all have enough income to live in decent neighbourhoods with good schools and a low crime rate. If you have the good fortune to come from such a background, you will expect a bright future for your children. You will certainly have provided them with all the advantages society has to offer. But suppose we follow the children of these families into adulthood. How will they actually fare?

MacNamara's Morons ex Wiki
Project 100,000 (also McNamara's 100,000), also known as McNamara's Folly, McNamara's Morons and McNamara's Misfits,[1][2] was a controversial 1960s program by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) to recruit soldiers who would previously have been below military mental or medical standards. Project 100,000 was initiated by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara in October 1966 to meet the escalating manpower requirements of the American government's involvement in the Vietnam War. According to Hamilton Gregory, author of the book McNamara's Folly: The Use of Low-IQ Troops in the Vietnam War, inductees of the project died at higher rates[1] than other Americans serving in Vietnam and following their service had lower incomes and higher rates of divorce than their non-veteran counterparts. The project was ended in December 1971[3] and has been the subject of controversy, especially during the manpower shortages of the Iraq War.At various times in its history, the United States military has recruited people who measured below specific mental and medical standards. Those who scored in certain lower percentiles of mental aptitude tests were admitted into service during World War II, though this experience eventually led to a legal floor of IQ 80 to enlist. Another instance occurred in the 1980s due to a misinformed Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery.[4]
By October 1966, monthly draft calls had been steadily increasing for 15 consecutive months and stood at 49,300, the highest since early 1951, the peak mobilization period of the Korean War, when 80,000 men a month were called up.[5] In a series of decisions, the Pentagon lowered the required score to be inducted to as low as 10 on the Armed Forces Qualification Test (perfect score: 99)—a 6% drop.[5]
McNamara thought he could turn below average soldiers into above average soldiers through use of technology and learning by use of video tapes. According to Hamilton Gregory, author of McNamara's Folly: The Use of Low-IQ Troops in the Vietnam War:[6][7]
McNamara was a lover of technology... McNamara believed he could win the war in Vietnam through the use of advanced technology and computerized analysis... And he believed he could raise the intelligence of men through the use of video tapes.
He was wrong.

A new report by Aspiring Minds, the world’s largest employability assessment company, has revealed that over 95 percent of all IT “engineers” in India are incapable of basic programming—shattering the myth of Indian “IT expertise” and destroying the controlled media’s often-repeated claim that engineers from that country are urgently needed to “boost the skill sets of Europe and America.”..............According to the study, titled “National Programming Skills Report,” only 4.77 percent of Indian IT engineers can write the correct logic for a program—a minimum requirement for any programming job.
Aspiring minds is world-famous for helping organizations, governments and institutions measure and identify talent. Their client base includes Sapient, Coca Cola, GE, Amazon, Genpact, Bank of America, CITI bank, HCL, Wipro, Tata Motors, Du Pont, Daimler, and Hyundai............
According to the report’s executive summary:
* Only 1.4 percent of Indian IT engineers can write functionally correct & efficient code.* More than 60 percent of candidates cannot even write code that compiles..........
The report also found that although Indian males perform terribly at IT skills, Indian females were even worse............... The report undermines the oft-repeated claim in the controlled media that India is an “IT giant” and that engineers from that country are urgently needed to “boost the skill sets of Europe and America.”

DNA Pioneer Punished For Telling The Truth About Black Intelligence [ 21 January 2019 ]
QUOTE
Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson—one of the discoverers of DNA’s double helix structure—has been stripped of several honorary titles by the laboratory he once headed because he has once again dared to confirm that Africans, as a race, have a substantially lower IQ than other races.According to a statement issued by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), a Long Island-based non-profit research institution long linked with the scientist, they have taken the steps because of what they called his “”unsubstantiated and reckless personal opinions” expressed “on the subject of ethnicity and genetics” during the PBS documentary “American Masters: Decoding Watson” that aired January 2, 2019.
In that interview, Watson was asked if his thinking on the relationship between race and intelligence had shifted since 2007, when he had famously said that he was “inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa [because] all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours, whereas all the testing says not really.”................
Watson is one of four scientists credited with the discovery of DNA’s molecular structure. He had a long-standing association with the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, with him becoming director in 1968, its president in 1994 and its chancellor a decade later. The lab also has a school named after him.

King's College Professor Robert Plomin Tells Hay Festival Only DNA Decides Children' Success [ 7 June May 2019 ]
QUOTE
A leading geneticist has told parents they don’t need to send their children to top schools like Eton – because genetics has already determined how well they will do in academics. Robert Plomin, a professor of behavioural genetics at King’s College London, said prestigious schools ‘don’t add anything’ to children’s grades.Speaking at the Hay Festival, he said that a child’s success is pre-determined by their genes, and ‘nature’ plays a much larger part in our lives than ‘nurture’ or external environmental factors.
When asked why a parent would spend money sending their child to Eton, he replied: ‘The reason why education is universal is literacy and numeracy are innate – children need to learn to read. We’re talking about what makes them different. So the issue is do differences in the quality of school make a difference in outcomes like GCSE scores or getting into universities?............
‘If you correct for what the schools selected on, there’s no difference in GCSE scores. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you select the very best kids academically, yes they go on and do well. But have you added value? The answer is no.
