A Study of the IQ in Bangladesh
Richard Lynn
University of Ulster, Northern Ireland
In our most recent compilation of IQs for all nations
of the
world (Lynn and Vanhanen, 2006) we presented measured
IQs
for 113 nations and estimated IQs for a further 79
nations. The
estimated IQs were derived on the assumption that
a nation’s IQs
would be similar to that of geographically and racially
similar
nations for which we had measured IQs. At the time
of this
compilation we had no measured IQ for Bangladesh,
so we
assumed it would be the same as that of the Indian
average for
which we had a measured IQ of 82. We have now located
a study
in Bangladesh from which a measured IQ for can be
calculated at
81.
