This is why intelligence cannot be properly quantified. Some of the smartest (bookwise) that I've known, the people who study physics, have pretty much no common sense.

HHBH loves stats, race and intelligence usually just comes down to how many people have access to a decent level of education and then pursue that education to higher levels, here in the UK certain races are attracted to different subject areas in universities and at times its very noticeable.

The "Bell Curve" which he also linked has been scrutinized to no end as well. I'm sure most people are aware of that but I thought I'd mention it anyway

Alright, you know what? I've had enough of this PC, pusyfooting around. The Smartest race in order are:

Xel'Naga, That master race from Stargate, The Dutch, Whatever Krang from TMNT was, and then probably Predator.

This is probably the single most offensive thing I have read on this forum.

Clearly the Daleks are more intelligent than Krang.

They are, but since only dummies watch Doctor Who they were excluded from the list.

Race and intelligence? Okay. If Americans were a race, they would certainly be on the dumb scale That would include me, so, i take that back.

Good grief. Who created this thread? i won't stick around for the answer. i don't think i'm intelligent enough for this 'debate'.

Here's a 'death race'.



have fun folks.

And, Americans make Polish jokes. And, they are a point higher on the scale

Oh the irony.

Poor Kyrgyzstan. In last place by a solid 48 points

You're right These guys. This is nonsense. It is an education issue. Whoever made the racist remark is dumber than a day old Kyrgyzstanian!
