The Real Indian IQ

[Bharatvarsh]

This is one more example of sheer nonsense that is emanating from these psuedo scholars like Rushton, Lynn etc:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->For Mauritius, the population consists of 68 percent Indians, 27 percent Creole (black-white hybrids), 3 percent Chinese and 1 percent whites. It is assumed that the IQs are 81 for the Indians (as in India), 82 for the Creoles (as for South African coloreds), 100 for the Chinese (as in China) and 94 for the whites (as for the whites in South Africa). Weighting these figures by the percentages in the population gives an IQ of 81.

The whole estimate is hinged on unproven assumptions, first off the Indian IQ is based on a few tests conducted in the most underdeveloped states of India, secondly the Mauritian Indians live in a more developed country than their Indian counterparts, so the Flynn effect should be taken into account.

Mauritius is no Singapore but it is no Zimbabwe either, its a stable middle income country that is still developing, it had a per capita income 7k US in 2008:

That is a decent achievement, why don't these wankers just do a few IQ tests in Mauritius for a change instead of extrapolating from some old tests conducted in some obscure village of MP or Bihar.
