It is a common misconception that the people of Israel have higher IQ than other nations. They have not. The nations with highest IQ are all in Eastern Asia: China, Japan, South Korea.
Highest average IQ? What percentage of Chinese were tested?
In such statistics, sufficiently big samples are taken to achieve significance. I think it goes without saying that the percentage (compared to total population) of such samples is rather small, and not smaller for China than for Europe or the US.
Ok, so it would be a small percentage for any country. I guess what I'm wondering is how many dumb kids they don't let in their schools heh. In the United States, even if the child is very dumb or doing very poorly they usually get to graduate.
In China, all kids go to school. Few only finish before the tenth year. IF, then it is not because of lack of money (school education is free) but because the child is problematic.
BZZZ. Wrong answer.
-----------------
I think the better question is what segments of the Chinese population were tested. I wouldn't be surprised if they over-represented high-performing students and under-represented other areas, either because of lack of resources or because of an intentional effort to boost the nation's scores.

Of course, I haven't spent 30 years looking into this, and I'm not sure if it was a Jew that did all the research, or, even one with a penis.
I guess we can argue over whether your intelligence quotient or your intelligence is the same thing...
To me it is like using an inch on a ruler to measure an inch, while there is a slight difference between the two, only to distinguish the two, they are basically the same...
your intelligence either measures up to a predetermined standard of intelligence or it doesn't...
