在Farewell to Alms这本书里(http://www.pinggu.org/bbs/a-688541.html),Gregory Clark博士指出,近代英国超过中国和印度要归功于600-800年期间英国上流社会的高生育率。由于上流社会十几代人的高生育率,英国民族的平均智商得到大大的提高。Clark博士认为工业革命始于英国的根源是英国人的分析智商高于中国人和印度人。出生率和智商数据也证实了他的分析。
在 Understanding Human History 一书中(http://www.pinggu.org/bbs/a-688542.html),Michael Hart 博士指出:犹太人本来智商一般,但通过优良选种政策,经过数千年,他们目前在智商竞赛中远远超前于其它民族。http://www.pinggu.org/bbs/a-688543.html
回复mikecwu的评论:
请参照Dr. Richard Lynn 2002年的文章:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_and_the_Wealth_of_Nations
摘抄其中的一段:
For People's Republic of China, the authors used a figure of 109.4 for Shanghai and adjusted it down by an arbitrary 6 points because they believed the average across China's rural areas was probably less than that in Shanghai. Another figure from a study done in Beijing was not adjusted downwards. Those two studies formed the resultant score for China (PRC).
1.上海的平均IQ是109.4,甚至高于香港新加坡
2.Dr. Richard Lynn已经考虑到中国rural area IQ低于上海的可能性,所以取值的时候,减掉了6点
3.综合以上两点,你的关于“中国智商指数只是城市人智商指数,不是全国指数”的指责不成立
4.考虑犹太人的智商,是考虑所有犹太人的平均智商,而不是某些犹太人的智商,比如如Ashkenazi Jews。用智商最高的犹太人智商与被中国平均智商相比,不公平
从你的帖子中摘抄:
1 Chinese score well on the visual-spatial half of IQ tests (higher than Jews)
2 It's the Ashkenazi Jews who average the world #1 verbal-analytical IQs
得到的结论,中国人visual-spatial高于犹太人(理解为所有的犹太人,包括Ashkenazi Jews),Ashkenazi Jews verbal-analytical高于中国人,换句话说,非Ashkenazi Jews verbal-analytical不高于中国人,Ashkenazi Jews和非Ashkenazi Jews IQ按人口一平均,犹太人平均verbal-analytical IQ不一定高于中国人. visual-spatial和verbal-analytical相加,得不到犹太人智商高于中国人的结论
"And Chinese are failing the reality test of survival"
--这可是你自己一个人的看法,不代表是事实.事实是华人有很强的生存能力.例子我就不举了,你自己去找吧.你的这个观点更证明你对华人有强烈的偏见,已经到了无视事实的地步,你自己去反省吧
1. Israel includes lots of not-too-smart Sephardic Jews, Mizrahi Jews, and 85-IQ Arabs. Also, the smartest Ashkenazi Jews live outside of Israel (e.g. U.S., U.K.)
2. The question of Verbal-analytical IQ v. Visual-spatial IQ:
Chinese score well on the visual-spatial half of IQ tests (higher than Jews), but the half that really matters is verbal-analytical IQ (as mentioned in that article, in invention, in organization, etc.)
3. It's the Ashkenazi Jews who average the world #1 verbal-analytical IQs, far above English, Germans, Japanese, or Chinese.
It's dangerous to assume Chinese have infinite brainpower to kill off when results in science and corporation don't show it.
And Chinese are failing the reality test of survival. Even with the "talent" that we have - an amount set to diminish - we're getting wiped out.
That illusion of infinite talent, plus infinite people is another excuse for most Chinese to do nothing. For example, one of my Overseas Chinese friends back in N.Y.C., born in Shanghai without any siblings due to the 1-child policy, not a dumb guy, lazily assumes we're too many to ever get wiped out.
