Certainly nothing I take serious. why are you focusing on that instead of debating the topic? Here it is again just in case you missed it.

Here's us ignoring his findings: Mattyfisk wrote on Apr 18 th, 2016 at 2:56pm: Apart from G, does anyone else find it interesting that Templer said his study is not about culture, but race? Quote:It is here suggested that genetic factors are more important than economic/religious/cultural variables in accounting for the unpretentious mean IQs in the Arab and Muslim countries. All of the European countries have the highest rated skin colors... Skin color is the biological variable that correlates most highly with IQ (Templer & Arikawa, 2006). As you can see, effendes, it is all about race.

As you can see, effendes, it is all about race. It is a jolly world, no? No not all. nature and nurture, not nature versus nurture. But why am I lecturing you, with your "special awareness" and all. Lol. But that's not what Templer's saying. And if you unpack his criteria, you'll find there are no cultural or economic similarities in the countries he describes. Templer himself makes the point that Gulf Arabs are more fundamentalist and rigid in their beliefs than Indonesians, who live in a country "where Mosques and Churches can be seen in close proximity to one another". But all this is moot. Templer is getting at the racial genetics of Arabs, as demonstrated by this: Quote:There seems to be considerable historical and anecdotal evidence of interbreeding of Arabs and Blacks... [A] possibility is that persons of lower intelligence are more attracted to a religion characterized by authoritarian teaching, rote memorization, simplicity of dogma, and certainty than to abstract principles and critical thinking. In other words, people are attracted to their beliefs based on their levels of tintedness. But what of Christianity, the other great religion to come out of the Arabian peninsular? Surely Christianity is equally dogmatic and rigid. Quote:If these religious characteristics do effect intelligence, one could... hypothesize lower intelligence in Catholicism than in Protestantism. So as you can see, Templer is making judgments about religion based solely on his racial criteria, and why not? Most of Templer's references come straight from that crucible of racial ideas and "scientific" racism, the Journal of Mankind, the publication that publishes Templer. And here's Matty ignoring the ignoring: Sir James wrote on Apr 18 th, 2016 at 4:18pm: Mattyfisk wrote on Apr 18 th, 2016 at 3:16pm: No, Matty, Templer's data on skin colour, temperature and GDP disproves his entire thesis.
The biggest country in the world, India, has (according to Templer's data) a mean IQ of 82 - lower than the majority of Arab countries and Indonesia (the biggest Muslim country), which is 87.
Indians have the same skin-tone ranking Templer attributes to Arabs and similar average temperatures. It does, of course, have far lower GDP per capita than Arab countries (which include the rich Gulf states).
There are more Indians in the world than Muslims (and Arabs), and Indians score lower in all Templer's ratings.
Indeed, India's mean IQ is (according to Templer) two points lower than its neighbor Pakistan - a country almost identical in terms of skin colour and temperature.
It is a jolly world, no?
Nice try but the muslim average IQ is still 81. What do you think about the findings, Matty? I'm curious.
