dont care about blacks or whites. or IQ's for that matter. The fact that you spend your time on /pol/ and stormfront shows that you are probably a retarded NEET.

I wish that I can be NEET again. Since I have a luxurious condo and expensive car, I have to work to pay them.

So you are cosplaying now? nice.
Instead of telling what type of car you have you just mention its expensive. yeah like I'm supposed to believe you. What car are you going to photo shop a loaf of bread on?
it's either cheating or all the rural idiots were not counted

Those aren't other sources you mong. The source is the study and they all reference the same one.
Daniel Bell
Did it account for manual vs automatic transmission drivers? I bet you that all the people in this study drove automatic.
Dominic Parker
study was done in bongland where they all drive manual. meaning its probably manual drivers who are dumber than auto drivers
Aaron Gomez
Low quality bait baka
Chase Anderson
talking about driving on the highway for hours on end or mindlessly driving around the city following a gps, not joyriding

IQ is plastic and can be trained. However, I do feel more retarded than I was when I left undergrad and started commuting 100 miles a day for four years.

Your literally a brainlet

Probably only tested in Hong Kong. The vast majority of China is chicken farming two toothed druggies.

stay BTFO Veeky Forums

>unblinded study a better question would be why are these people driving longer distances it could be that people who drive long distances are more likely to have blue collar jobs I cannot think of any white collar jobs that typically require lots of driving off the top of my head, but I can think of plenty of blue collar ones pizza driver, mail/parcel delivery driver, trucker, wrecker/repo-man, various contractors and repair men blue collar workers are more likely to engage in destructive behaviors like alcohol consumption or drug use
I suspect this is the cause of the perceived drop in IQ, rather than driving itself causing it but I don't have the research to support it
Jaxson Turner
Are they testing people who drive a lot.
Or are they testing people by making them drive a lot, because there is a huge difference.
I am yet to meet an intelligent truck driver or a pizza delivery guy.
Nicholas Harris
>intelligent pizza delivery guy I am a pizza delivery guy, but I'd just doing it part time during college there are some other guys who work with me that are just doing it for side cash that are fine the few that are doing it full time are basically retarded
Dylan Nelson
Yeah, I meant the ones that are full time drivers.
Easton Clark
oh, also, the full timers all have horrible customer service instincts and do retarded shit like ask customers for larger tips
wasn't disagreeing with you
Grayson Taylor
Loads of people in the Bay Area commute 3-4 hours a day into the city since it's impossible to live in it without making $500k minimum.
Brody Barnes
That's why so many of Chinese research publications are wrong or rigged right?
Cooper Flores
My thoughts exactly. More like "lower IQ causes longer commutes to shitty work"
Obviously, there are exceptions to any rule.
Juan Campbell
right, but this was a study of Britons
Austin Wood
Jokes on you I post on Veeky Forums while driving all the time and read threads on /pol/ to keep my mind stimulated.

Here's the two lines that actually matter
James Smith

Makes sense.
James Torres
>china is 105
Jordan Jones
>suggests Its a conclusion drawn from a flawed study. Looking at endless miles of road for 2 hours straight is not really mentally stimulating, but I didn't need a study froma cucked country to know that.
Ryder Wilson
>South America is full of retards Shocker
Noah Rodriguez
What about study based on how, what, and why people drive?
Knee-dragging sportbike hoons who find that their local highway on ramps are the best places to work on that racing line and test the limits of their tires? Professional race drivers? Amateur drifters and trackday bros? Veeky Forumstists flying down backroads in their SW20s and MX-5s, hoping they don't spin out?
Wouldn't all of those people be above average, if anything, because of the cognitive load of trying to keep yourself from fucking dying?
