<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harrync, post: 3617622, member: 58588&quot;]According to one source, the average IQ worldwide was 89.2 in 2000, down from 91.6 in 1950, so 88 today seems likely. <a href="https://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/IQ/1950-2050/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/IQ/1950-2050/" rel="nofollow">https://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/IQ/1950-2050/</a>&nbsp; </p><p>I think the 100 standardized IQ is based on the US. Given that a large part of performance on IQ tests depend on environment, and many countries have a much less helpful environment, it is not unexpected that the worldwide average is under 100. The national averages are skewed downward; top national IQ is 108; lowest is 60. Only 14 countries have average IQ 100 or above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
