Swkoll renounces IQ tests because there are poor at determining intelligence. If one was given though you could aspect average results.

OOC: Your nations average IQ will always be 100. When an IQ test is constructed, a standardization sample representative of the general population takes the test. The median result is defined to be equivalent to 100 IQ points. In almost all modern tests, a standard deviation of the results is defined to equivalent to 15 IQ points. When a subject takes an IQ test, the result is ranked compared to the results of normalization sample and the subject is given an IQ score equal to those with the same test result in the normalization sample. Although the term "IQ" is still in common use, it is now an inaccurate description, mathematically speaking, since a quotient is no longer involved.

The values of 100 and 15 were chosen in order to get somewhat similar scores as in the older type of test. Likely as a part of the rivalry between the Binet and the Wechsler, the Binet until 2003 chose to have 16 for one SD, causing considerable confusion. Today almost all tests use 15 for one SD. Modern scores are sometimes referred to as "deviation IQs," while older method age-specific scores are referred to as "ratio IQs."

Thanks to a balanced diet of local fruits and meat, and consistently low levels of heavy metals in the countryside, the typical IQ hovers around 108 for the countryside farmer. Within Riyuil, Nihrubi, and Jarazi, though, the elevated levels of pollution in water and in air correlate with a slightly lower IQ of 106 despite strict mercury and lead laws aimed at the shipbuilding and textile industries.

Yes, using a bell-curve this would be correct. However, some nations academic institutions do not use a bell-curve test scoring method. In Kreanoltha the scores are the number of questions answered correctly on a two hundred question test.

135 on the Wechsler-scale. Our children are not enjoying Disneyland... so they get sent to Mensaland!
You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded. Because the elements, the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars. And the only way they could get into your body is if the stars were kind enough to explode.

So forget Jesus. The stars died so you could be here today.

135 Lol secular sweden picked the sasme number i didn't realize, uhh ill make it 138 :p

In Hallistar, everyone regardless of major is taught up to the mastery of the use of Differential Equations, and an applied physics curriculum that uses similar skills is also taught next to it. Since the nation is composed of 80% Scientific Research and Development and Engineering industries, that would also add much more onto what a person would on average need to know to work in them.

94 is reported to be the average for those that took the test. (In other words, everyone who went to school.) As for those that didn't, well, we can only guess. But the national average is supposed to be slightly lower; something around 90.

59? How the hell can a country have an average IQ below 59?
Anyway, since we are simply normal humans it is about average, 101. Also, education has literally nothing to do with IQ.

Because IQ tests are quite biased. The questions given depend on linguistic skills and math a great deal.

I'm seeing a lot of nations with very high "average" IQs. So much for a normal curve :P .

True, if you'd look at some languages, some don't even count further than 2. They just have 1, 2 and many.
