Thread for Heraclitus to continue his theories on race

[Heraclitus]

You missed a bit. I've fixed the image.

Could you please just stick to insulting my nationality or even me personally?
(since its basically a lie to say gross average IQs in the region are that low no matter how you spin the data. )


You do realize there are at least a few Croatian posters here and probably a Serbian or two?

To get a feeling what the Balkan figures might mean I'm posting this graph, soruce is Linda Susanne Gottfredson (2004)

And I'll probably be in trouble if someone reads this thread to them, and explains it.

I should once again note, for people who refuse to see fatally flawed methodology:


IQ tests do not translate directly across differing cultural or socio-economic groups. The test is meaningless as soon as we remove it from the aforementioned contexts. They don't work within a single country, let alone across them. There would need to be a different test for each country and group within the country and those would need to be standardized - impossible.

I repeat:

IQ tests are meaningless outside of specific context. We cannot just make a test and give it to people all over the world (or even country) who are in various contexts, and we cannot standardize different tests.




Learn that, and stop this BS.

Isn't that precisely the point of conducting such a survey, you ****ing moron? To determine if IQ tests retain their predictive powers even when applied across cultures/countries?

You're even less of a scientist than Hera is. ****.

(None of this is meant to defend this specific study's methodology, which appears to be pretty poor; making up figures for a given country because they aren't available isn't acceptable)

I'm beginning to doubt that even a joke field like ecology would have this ****ing moron as a member.

High praise. Enjoy it.

That was disproven a long time ago. The only modern point to be made by such a survey is to feed the stormfronters.



Anyway, you're a fkn moron for thinking that a survey could prove any such thing.

Feel free to provide some evidence for that claim

Indeed, a better way to investigate the question is to take your unsupported proclamations at face value.

You're a ****ing idiot. Seriously.

I missed you KH.
Yes, Ecofarm is true gold, isn't he? One of our best additions lately.
