General Question

On average, what racial group is intellectually superior?

Asked by HolographicUniverse (1655 points ) 3 months ago

This question is relative to the study that suggests, on average, beautiful people are also more intelligent than their unattractive counterparts.

Is intellect dependent upon race? If so, what “race”, or even nationality, has a statistically higher level of intelligence?

Absurd. You said beautiful people are more intelligent than unattractive people? So you must think Stephen Hawking is a god-like Adonis in terms of beauty?

The one that gets to decide what “intelligence” is.

Actually, all kidding aside, race has nothing to do with it. Personality theory does. The NT intuitive rational thinkers are the highest ranking for intelligence. Think Einstein, Steve Jobs, Tesla, Da Vinci, Newton….to infinity and beyond. NT types are the inventors & scientists of the population at large.

I doubt it is racial.

My observation is that education (and to a lesser degree) socio-economic status is what produces smarter people. One could argue that race may play a role in this (in the US blacks generally have lower incomes than whites) but the determining factor is education – not race.

None is smarter than the other.
