Veeky Forums why is there's almost a 20 point difference in IQ between Haiti and Dominican Republic
considering they share a small island same climate, economy the same until 1965
However thier IQ is significantly different why?

Because psychology is pseudoscience.

this
and cause iq tests suck

Not a political topic

because there are evidence that blacks raised under proper conditions will have better IQ than being raised in poverty.

most blacks don't raise their kids like asians do, making them study hard as fuck.

most asians aren't smarter, but work harder and their culture overglorify hard work.

TL:DR blacks aren't dumb, they're lazy.

Err, no. Asians don't "work hard". There was a survey that asked how much asian kids study for maths and most said that they don't need to study, they just "get it". Also black IQ is lower that white. Even those raised with good conditions score way lower that the everyday white. Plus IQ has little to do with education. That's the whole point of IQ. And don't get laziness in the way, because most high IQ individuals are lazy, but so are low IQ ones. Look it up and stop spreading bullshit.

not all black african tribes score lower than whites.
look up igbos.

This video says it all

And all of them are in either north or south africa.

Psychology isnt related to fucking science either you fucking moron.

there's not a single black race dumbass.

some of them score higher than others.

>And all of them are in either north or south africa.

"The CIA World Factbook puts the Igbo population of Nigeria at 18% of a total population of 177 million, or approximately 32 million people. Southeastern Nigeria, which is inhabited primarily by the Igbo, is the most densely populated area in Nigeria, and possibly in all of Africa"

>Psychology as a discipline is a science because it involves empirically testing concepts and observations, according to Simply Psychology and California State University, Fresno. Psychology employs the scientific method to determine the accuracy and reliability of key theories and practices

Dominican here. We have about 20% whites, and the other 80% are mulattoes. Meanwhile, Haiti is over 90% black as midnight. The higher the percentage of African genes, the less ability for abstract thinking the population has.

Wow great find
Agreed

why is this thread still up?

you need all the population to be high IQ, you only need the elite and engineers in your country to be high IQ.

blacks have a 16% rate with IQ higher than 100.

is enough to sustain an intelectual elite to run things properly.

problem with africa was colonization, dictatorships and socialism.

Haiti has rampant corruption and an oppressive government. The DR not so much so.

>psychologist say psychology is a science
what a surprise

>socialism
you mean those only people who ever bothered to build the and stuff for them?

Wrong.

The field of psychology attempts to explain human thought by way of observing outward behavior. This is not "empirically testing concepts and observations" This is taking actions and arbitrarily judging them based on make shit up as you go ad hoc first principles.
If you dont understand the scientific method and are too lazy to google it id be happy to post if for you so you arent confused, but it should be outrightly noted that ALL science starts with an actual observation of whatever it is youre trying to explain, not a blurry approximation of it.

You cannot "observe" human thought. Psychology is an attempt to but a very base attempt and at most a pre-paradigm of science.

Psychologists can wish to be an actual science for the next 100 years but its not one and it never has been one since its beginning/ End of discussion.

*schools

You're wrong. Lower IQ isn't bad because people can't become good engineers or doctors, but because the lack of abstract thought leads to less morality and empathy in the population. For example, the Zulu language lacks words for "precision" and "promise". For Africans, morality is something that must be enforced, not something in their nature to comprehend.

Thus, a lower IQ population is:
- More violent
- Doesn't plan for the future
- Focuses on personal satisfaction in the moment
- More superstitious

Dictatorships and socialism are a result of the power vacuum caused after decolonization; however, Haiti has been independent for over 200 years, and Ethiopia was never colonized, and both are just as shitty as Ivory Coast or Congo.

african nations drank the world war commie propaganda after they ganned independance.

you can imagine why africa is a shithole now.

not all black nations are violent shitholes.
all the most violent cities in the world are located in latinoamerica and USA.

ghana and madagascar have less homicide rates than germany.

also, nigeria is doing fine and will become a regional superpower in 2025-2030.

this cant be true

>he thinks a regional superpower is the same as an international one
ok retard.

But those are both bad things, user. In fact, when one attempts to compare the two (a capacity for the abstract activity of doing science, versus a capacity for realizing right conduct on an individual and social level), I would go a step further: the two capacities are both so critically important that to significantly prioritize the one over the other, as you've just tried to do, becomes meaningless. We need both in order to have a society worth living in.

A society where everyone is nice to each other and everyone just lives 40 years or so and nothing changes and everyone is swept along with nature's whims at all times is hardly worth living in. Of course, what I've just described might be perfectly satisfactory to many, but this goes to individual temperament and my own value system. What I've just said as much as says that such people are wrong for being content with such an arrangement.

Indeed, another counter example: The Chinese are objectively intelligent, and are also a specifically more morally depraved people than westerners.

I guess blacks really are inept to govern a society

>this cant be true
It's not

You're completely misreading the statistics.
>all the most violent cities in the world are located in latinoamerica and USA.
That's because:
a) Latin-america has a cartel problem.
b) Most African-americans are concentrated in the cities
c) Africa is still very rural, so their cities aren't as populous as the country-side

>ghana and madagascar have less homicide rates than germany.
Or... it could be that Germany is better at recording their homicides than Ghana and Madagascar.

>also, nigeria is doing fine and will become a regional superpower in 2025-2030.
Nigeria will never become a regional superpower if it can't even keep Boko Haram from terrorizing their population. Nigeria just has a large population and the Chinese are getting their hands on Nigeria's natural resoucers, thus leaving 200k africans in miserable poverty.

>he thinks africans and niggers is the same
nice to see how americans think all blacks are niggers meme.

>The Chinese are objectively intelligent, and are also a specifically more morally depraved people than westerners.
That's mostly because of their culture and their government. The Chinese, however, can feel empathy and live together in a society and be productive, unlike Africans. The Chinese value honor, family and traditions; but yeah, they feel less empathy than Europeans.

>you need high IQ to have empathy
>empathy has been show to be in the primitive part of the brain
>animals show empathy
hilarious how pol tries to downplay blacks and have no study to support their BS more than pseudoscience racist books.

hilarious.

I think africans would be more productive if it wasnt blazing fucking hot and there werent predators everywhere. I dont think it fair to compare africans to the chinese.

dude the Japanese literally work themselves to death, rote grinding is notorious in China... do you really think Asians are the people who are going to give you a reliable self-reporting of their work ethic?

I can hear my genius nanomachine-building Korean math professor laughing at the shitlords in class. "You think asians good at math because they have smarter brain? ho ho ho, you just whiny lazy baby! Stop smoking the drugs and do your homework."

The very idea of an IQ test is in itself an IQ test. If you believe in them, then you've tested stupid. If you realize they're horribly inaccurate, you've tested intelligent.

Wait, did I just create a paradox?
