The Intelligence of Nations

Book •
The Intelligence of Nations compiles and analyzes cross-national IQ estimates, using data from international assessments to estimate average cognitive ability by country.

The authors aggregate numerous studies and test results to produce nation-level IQ scores and discuss implications for development and policy.

The work is controversial and widely debated, particularly regarding methodology, sampling, and the interpretation of between-country differences.

It has been influential in public discussions about intelligence, development, and demographic comparisons, and is frequently cited in debates over national-level cognitive differences.

The book aims to provide comprehensive quantitative estimates while acknowledging (and being criticized for) methodological and ethical complexities surrounding intelligence research.
