What is it about Jews that gives them such a high IQ? | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 15993935 12/24/2012 07:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Very interesting question. There are several factors to why Jewish people seem to be so succesful. I won't claim to know all of them but I have stumbled upon a few factors. First and foremost reason is; religion. It is fundamentally different from Christianity and Islam in the sense that it doesn't scare the living shit out of you and make you out to be a nothing and nobody. Second being, the persecution of Jewish people throughout thousands of years. A little logic dictates that the persecuted will have to outsmart the persecuters to stay alive. So they HAD to outsmart people for thousands of years in the name of survival. Third one, once you get to a power position it is only logical to bring in people you know. Maybe in your family or in your church or of your faith etc. |

Well yeah, that's why it's third place since I also have severe doubts about that one. However, it wouldn't be that weird or awkward, nearly EVERYBODY does it. I'm quite confident about the first two points though. |

You're the first one I've heard tell such a story. Are you sure? That said, everyone does it. Indians (from India) always hire other Indians. While saying they don't of course. |

Quoting: Soba Master™ AB blood type (genetics) are generally higher in IQ, and jews have a high % if AB. That's all. So get over your bad self! LOL! Actually, Israelis have a somewhat lower than average IQ. Average IQ by Country [link to www.iqtestforfree.net] Dumber than Americans, even. (See, what you do is, you click on the blue thing. that's what they call a link. Then you scroll down the list thingie. I hope that wasn't too complicated) I guess you can call anything an IQ test. Hard to believe Hong Kong is at the top, I've been there and the place is hardly full of geniuses. I don't find it hard to believe, having spent eighteen years there, teaching English to, collectively, the best students that I ever encountered during forty years in the classroom. They bring out the best in their teachers. But they never learn English! Even if they go to the more prestigious "English language" schools (as opposed to Cantonese) the classes are still taught in Cantonese with maybe a translation list of English words at the end. There are a few exceptions. A few. The large majority is as I described. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 30670070 12/24/2012 11:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's a myth. Jews don't have a high IQ. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1076378many of them work with energies from childhood and their parents and /or rabbis open them the Adjna lotus (third eye)as well as other chakras. I draw a protective cross in my aura and I saw them frown, threat, curse, or flee round the corner at the glimpse of it - btw good means to recognize them in the queue. And because our Church via their priests discourages its flock from work with energies and chakras, we (Christians) are in an ENORMOUS DISADVANTAGE and defenceless like lambs in case of confrontation in policy, business, any negotiations, etc. - because from certain point of ki energy buildup and activation of chakras the adept becomes supersenzoric including e.g.telepathy - he knows what are you thinking before you tell it, etc. That is why they look upon other cultures and races from above. I resent Christian churches for keeping nation dumb and defenceless. If God would not want people work to perfect themselves, saure he would not provide humans with the system of energy routes and chakras and everything relevant. Unluckily, as I saw it in my close surroundings, prayer helps in case of psychic/astral attacks only scarcely. I HOPE SOME PRIEST READS THIS, TOO, AND WILL MEDITATE HOW MANY LIVES COULD BE SAVED IN CASE OF CLEVER ATTITUDE TO ENERGIES FROM THE PART OF CHURCH. Communist khazars abused these energies and abilities daily. I wouldn't think that all Jews misuse the energies, but it's true that Judaism seems open to these learnings and practices. They may even have adepts (Kabbalah) but I don't know anything about that. It's the way it is, these energies exist. Denying them is not the way of God, in my opinion. But then the Paulist church is screwed up from beginning to end. |

The business leaders in Hong Kong overwhelmingly came from Shanghai, largely running away from the Communist revolution. Chinese all agree Shanghainese are the cleverest in China. The "original" people of Hong Kong are more soldier types rather than academics. Now Shanghai is coming back, but Hong Kong has a much better port so there's some natural business advantage there. It would be interesting to see that IQ survey broken out by Chinese city -- Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, etc. |

In the past century, Americans have done a huge proportion of the genius work in the world. Inventing airplanes, electric lighting and distribution, transistors, computers and the internet. We've got some morons, we are a mixed society. But if you did a white-only IQ in the USA I think it would be higher, and Jewish-only would be even higher. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 24344754 12/24/2012 10:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For centuries catholic priests were considered the intelligent spiritual leaders of their community. They were not permitted to marry and raise a family or produce intelligent offspring. Whereas rabbis, spiritual and moral leaders of their community, married and produced offspring who were taught to read Torah and the old testament in their early years. With that format in hand, their curiosity was opened and they saught the professions (requiring additional schooling) since they were banned from joining trade unions and guilds during the centuries. After WW2 many young Jews did not want to work for their fathers in the pawn shop or delicattessens. Their only alternative was to continue on into the professional ranks or at least finish college.learening was an adventure and a joy, this is what is taught in the early years. |

Who were they working for, and when, where? Who was responsible for their promotion? Take it from there. IQ tests are no more than a passing fancy. I suspect that in 100 years they will be considered little more valid than we consider the old head-measurements of the 19th century. In the end, it's all politics, power and money moving chosen pieces into place. “I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.” ― Douglas Adam |

And they agree with each other on that. When challenged, they become aggressive and hysterical. People learn to just let them crap on. And of course, people simply avoid them. Which pushes them back on each other for company, where they continue to assure each other of their 'brilliant minds, their sexual prowess, etc. etc.' Self praise is scant praise indeed |
