David Becker has recently released his revised estimates of national IQs — which estimates that China has an IQ of about 103.9 according to his composite of IQ scores and test assessments.

Given that China has a reputation for corruption and scientific fraud, many are skeptical of this estimate. In addition, tests given to urban Chinese might not apply that well to rural Chinese, making testing the average IQ of China difficult. Fortunately, there are some 3rd parties that have estimated China’s IQ based on international cognitive assessments such as PISA, TIMSS, and whatnot.

But they present data that the average Chinese test score is a few (but not huge) number of points above the average American?
