Jews Have Higher IQs

[5stringJeff]

Don't believe me, believe this guy.

Jews have been found to have an unusually high mean intelligence as measured by IQ tests since the first Jewish samples were tested. (The widely repeated story that Jewish immigrants to this country in the early 20th century tested low on IQ is a canard.) Exactly how high has been difficult to pin down, because Jewish sub-samples in the available surveys are seldom perfectly representative. But it is currently accepted that the mean is somewhere in the range of 107 to 115, with 110 being a plausible compromise.

The IQ mean for the American population is “normed” to be 100, with a standard deviation of 15. If the Jewish mean is 110, then the mathematics of the normal distribution says that the average Jew is at the 75th percentile.

That's obvious. It's one of the causes of anti-Semitism. People are usually jealous of the more intelligent.

I'd say it has more to do with more educated parents. 10 pts, pshaw! Jews highly regard education.

Got anything to back that up?

Asians are also smarter and people are jealous of them.

Then one must look at the 'family' and 'culture'. Not smarter, more determined and focused.

Back what up? That Jews are smarter than the average person? or that people are jealous of the more intelligent?

Either way a lifetime of observation and experience back it up.

If not smarter, more successful.

[Kathianne]

If not smarter, more successful.

Successful is not the equivalent of 'smarter' or 'more intelligent'. Successful usually is a result of diligence and application.

That people are anti-semitic because they are jealous of the intelligence of Jews.

How about some think Jews are more 'intelligent' when the truth is they are just more educated? Those aren't equivalent you know

Isn't that what this topic is about? That Jews on average have a higher IQ?

[Abbey Marie]

Jeff, are you trying to make RWA's ban even more difficult for him?

intelligence and education are not necessarily the same thing.

Never said they were--I just want to hear some evidence that people are anti-semitic because of Jewish intellect. I've never heard any of em say they hate Jews because Jews are so smart .
