You're talking about Indian-Americans. The group of people with the highest income in the US based on recent statistics. The cream of the crop that emigrated from India and largely had a lot of wealth to begin with. You're not talking about the general population of India compared to the general population of America. A better comparison between groups would be to compare Indian-Americans and European descent "whites" that share an income range. Or Indians in general to Americans in general (which might run into problems too because of population size differences).
I'm not saying there aren't intelligent Indians, just that you have to be mindful about what you are comparing.
Agreed. I figured we were only discussing the ones here.
They aren't the ones big tech companies are outsourcing software development to. They are hiring the poor ones that dont demand more than 20 usd/hr
The Indians here are pre-selected for higher IQ. The Jewish IQ was pre-selected by testing at a jewish private school.
What would the average causation IQ be if testing at yale were accepted as the average causation IQ?
average Caucasian IQ
There are different Caucasian groups. E.g. those with northern European ancestry have a higher average IQ than western. It's probably more prudent to break down groups into smaller subgroups to really see what's going on.
Yale
Why would you trust Yale not to have their own biases that would affect those scores?
I believe you miss the point entirely. The point is, it's extremely biased to test a pre-screened group of above average IQ and then present them as average for a given group.
You're also ignoring the Askenazi are genetically European. This is the group attributed as having above average white IQ for their group. The fact is, they have an average IQ. The contrary is a popular myth.
Comparisons like this are quantitative and not qualitative.
