PISA

At the 8th grade level, girls in the US score 0.31 standard deviations higher than boys in PISA reading (513 vs. 488). By 12th grade, as measured by SAT verbal, boys have a slight 0.18 standard deviation advantage over girls (420 vs. 438). But after college, the gender gap in verbal skills as measured by GRE verbal (512 vs 484) gives males a 0.28 standard deviation advantage over females, on par with their 0.35 standard deviation advantage on SAT math.

Out of 33 countries who took the 2002 PISA math test, our boys ranked 22nd, and scored 72 points lower than boys in the Netherlands, 61 points lower than their girls, 35 points lower than girls in Korea, and 7 points higher than our girls.

PISA Math 2006

UPDATE: MAY 12, 2008:  Israel again embarrassed itself by participating in PISA in 2006, along with actual industrialized nations, where it scored 442 in math.  This is 78 points lower than Australia, 63 points lower than Austria, 78 points lower than Belgium, 85 points lower than Canada, 68 points lower than the Czech Republic, 71 points lower than Denmark, 106 points lower than Finland, 54 points lower than France, 62 points lower than Germany, 17 points lower than Greece, 49 points lower than Hungary, 64 points lower than Iceland, 59 points lower than Ireland, 20 points lower than Italy, 81 points lower than Japan, 105 points lower than Korea, 48 points lower than Luxembourg, 89 points lower than Netherlands, 80 points lower than New Zealand, 48 points lower than Norway, 53 points lower than Poland, 24 points lower than Portugal, 50 points lower than the Slovak Republic, 38 points lower than Spain, 60 points lower than Sweden, 88 points lower than Switzerland, 53 points lower than the UK, 32 points lower than the US, 34 points lower than Azerbaijan, 25 points lower than Croatia, 73 points lower than Estonia, 105 points lower than Hong Kong, 44 points lower than Latvia, 83 points lower than Liechtenstein, 44 points lower than Lithuania, 83 points lower than Macao, 34 points lower than Russia, 62 points lower than Slovenia, and 107 points lower than Taipei.

If jews are g-d's chosen race, then what does that make the above races and nations: superhumans?

The few third world nations which Israel scored higher than can hardly impress us.  What did "g-d" choose this race for, anyway: destruction? "Israel" where 100% of those who took this test were "jews" scored 34 points lower than Azerbaijan which is 98% Muslims.

Our low score of 474 is also hard to explain.  If the 13% of the US population who're blacks scored in the range of Kyrgyzstan at 311, the 9% who're  Hispanics scored in the range of Mexico at 406, the 2% who're jews scored 441.9 like their brethren in Israel, the 4% who're Asians scored in the range of Japan at 523, and the 72% who're Whites scored in the range of Finland, we should have had a score of 501, 27 points higher:

The only way to rationalize this is if American blacks scored 276, 25 points lower than the lowest PISA score:

Is this a reasonable assumption?  In TIMSS, South Africa routinely scores lower than 270, which is 300 points lower than Hong Kong.  A PISA score of 276 is only 271 points lower than Hong Kong's PISA score of 547.  The more than 2 dozen African nations from which American blacks were taken as slaves by jews have average IQs lower than 70, whereas the average IQ of South Africa is two points higher, or 72.  Furthermore, 9% of South Africa's test takers are Whites whose ancestors are from the Netherlands who scored 531, which means the blacks in South Africa probably scored in the range of 238.  So an estimate of 276 is extremely conservative. 

If American blacks did score in the range of South African blacks, our estimated PISA score would be 5 points too low. [However, if American Hispanics scored in the range of Greece or Italy rather than Mexico--not an impossibility--then our predicted score is exactly what the score was].

The above IQ data is from Professor Lynne, and there are a number of reasons to be suspicious of it:

1. The data appears to be out of date.
2. Professor Rushton proved that correlation between standardized test scores and brain size is close to r-squared = 1.0, whereas correlation with IQ scores was not at all good.
3. jew Wechsler, whose data much of this IQ data is based on, removed 95% of the most important parts of his IQ test to "prove" that men and women are "equal", as well as that jews have an IQ of 107.
4. PISA and TIMSS scores are consistent, whereas correlation between PISA and these IQ scores is only r-squared = 0.7.
5. jews seem to have had a hand in manipulating the data.

Making the following adjustments produces an r-squared of almost 1.0:

How can we justify raising Ireland's IQ by 8 points.  Ireland almost always scores on the international tests at the same level with other countries who Professor Lynne estimates have IQs from 101 to 105.  Ireland now has one of the highest average incomes in the world.  It's hard to believe their IQ's are equivalent to Italy or Greece. 

How can we justify raising Russia's score 2 points?  This data point seems to be left over from Cold War Propaganda, plus most of the points above.  Russia also scores higher than Ireland on some tests, so this is very conservative.  How can we justify decreasing Argentina's and Kyrgystan's IQ by 10 points?  Just like with PISA, neither country has ever done that well on any international tests.

Once these adjustments are made, we see that IQs increase 1 IQ point for each 8 point increase in PISA scores.

This is also consistent with the most recent edition of PISA.

PISA Reading 2006

There's a remarkable, but expected, correlation between PISA reading scores and Professor Lynn's IQ, by country, producing an r-squared of about 0.7:

A notable exception is Israel whose PISA reading score of 439 is strong evidence of an average IQ of 89 rather than the 94 estimated by Professor Lynn.  Greece with an IQ of 92, 2 points lower than Israel, scored 460, 21 points higher than Israel, and Turkey with an IQ 4 points lower than Israel scored 8 points higher than Israel.  Mexico with an IQ of 87 scored only 29 points lower than Israel.

Israel:  IGZ (Intellectual Ground Zero) in PISA 2003

OUR DISMAL PISA SCORE WAS PREDICTABLE, AND EXPECTED

As the following graph shows, the highest scoring jew in Israel is one in a private school who scored an average of 460, which is 24 points higher than Israel's average score of 436.  But it's 46 points lower than the average boy who participated in PISA, 99 points lower than Korean boys who scored 559, and 109 points lower than a boy in the Netherlands who scored 569.

Did anyone score lower?

JEWS

The lowest scoring jew was one raised by a stepmother, who scored 348, or 112 points lower than jews in private schools and a whopping 211 points lower than Korean boys. Compared to the jew in private school, the average jew girl scored 30 points lower, a jew who didn't have regular family meals scored 41 points lower, a jew who grew up with no parents present scored 45 points lower, a jew who grew up without a father in the home scored an average of 55 points lower, a jew raised by his grandparents scored 70 points lower, a jew who lived in a small town scored 97 points lower, a jew who grew up with a stepfather scored 104 points lower, and a jew who grew up with a stepmother scored 112 points lower.

Ironically, a jew who grew up with a mother in the house scored 9 points lower than a jew who grew up without a mother in the house, whereas a jew who grew up with a father in the house scored 35 points higher than one who grew up without a father in the house.  A jew who grew up with brothers scored 38 points higher than those who didn't, whereas a jew who grew up with sisters scored 21 points higher than those who didn't. A jew whose father was not born in Israel scored 15 points higher than one who was, 11 points higher if his mother was not born in Israel, and 9 points higher if he himself wasn't born in Israel.  A jew who goes to sporting events regularly scored 23 points higher than those who didn't.

Why did Poland score only 470, which is 99 points lower than the Netherlands?  The same reason Miami-Dade County, Florida: Rochester, NY; Chicago, Illinois; and Jersey City, New Jersey scored dead last in the US in TIMSS and why Israel scored so low.

The answer:  jews.

Note that jews, who claim to have "an average IQ of 120", scored 454 in science, 109 points lower than Finland with an average IQ of 97, and only 30 points higher than Turkey with an average IQ of 90.

HIGHEST SCORING DUTCH BOY VS. LOWEST SCORING PERUVIAN GIRL 

Following are the highest and lowest PISA Math scores.  Private school students in the Netherlands, who are three quarters of their students, scored dramatically higher than their public school students (40 points higher), and 299 points higher than Peru's public school students.

OUR DISMAL PISA SCORE WAS PREDICTABLE, AND EXPECTED

The dismal score of 489 "achieved" by the US, whose education system motto is "pursuing excellence" rather than "muddling with mediocrity", was easily predictable from prior test scores like those from GRE and TIMSS.  It would be expected that Asian boys in the US should score in the range of Japanese boys, or 561.  As Asian males are 2% of the population, their contribution to our national average score is 561 x 2% = 11.22.  Also true for Asian women, 553 x 2% = 11.06.  While White boys in nigger-free, latrino-free, jew-free North Dakota score considerably higher than all other states (100 SAT points higher than boys in New Jersey), and thus may score even higher than the Netherlands, White boys across the country averaged 549, a score lower than the Netherlands of 569, but higher than Flanders of 543.  As White men are 35% of the population, their contribution to the national average is 549 x 35% = 192.15.   The 11 point lower score for White girls (who are 35.1% of the population) of 538 is equivalent to the sex differences in other countries, 538 x 35.1% = 188.84.

Most latrinos in the US are Mexicans, so Mexican men who are 5% of the population contribute 382 x 5% = 19.1, and Mexican women 382 x 5% = 19.1.  It's not likely that the jew boys in the US would have scored any higher than the "Israeli" boys in "Israel" of 442, as the score in "Israel" is made up entirely of "jews", and not Arabs and Christians.  The 1.1% of the US population which is jew males thus contributed 442 x 1.1% = 4.86, and jew girls contributed 430 x 1.3% = 5.59.

The class of students who really drag down our scores are the niggers who constitute 12.5% of the US population, particularly nigger girls who scored 404 on GRE Quantitative, 234 points lower than Asian boys.  Such a low score on GRE suggests that they score even lower than the Mestizos of Peru who share a common mixed-race ancestry.   But if we use the Peruvian scores to represent American nigger boys, we get 301 x 6.25% = 18.81, and for nigger girls we get 285 x 6.25% = 17.81.

The total of the above calculations is 489.09, durn close to the 489 score reported by PISA:

Let's consider each 3 point gap in scores to be one generation.  Thus, the 299 point difference between public schools in Peru and private schools in the Netherlands is 100 generations, and the 284 point gap between girls in Peru and boys in the Netherlands is 95 generations.  The gap between Israeli girls and Netherlands boys is 46 generations, which means that it's unlikely that any of the girls in Israel scored as high as the average boy in the Netherlands.

NETHERLANDS BEATS JAPAN

As poorly as the US did on this test, the gap between the public schools of Israel and the US of 22 generations suggests that NO jews scored in the range of the lowest scoring American students.

These are the results of the PISA test which show the US scores 8 generations lower than Japan in math:

MUD FLAPS

Table 2.1b of http://www.pisa.oecd.org/dataoecd/0/48/33995376.xls

Muds in all countries scored remarkably lower than Whites in those countries, as well as Whites in every other country.  The 288 point spread between the lowest scoring mud in Peru of 285 and the highest scoring White in the Netherlands of 573 represents the vast majority of the intellectual spectrum measured by PISA.

BRITTLE BRAZILIANS

The 52.3% of Brazilian boys who scored lower than 358 are represented primarily by the 38.5% who're mulattos, 6.2% who are blacks and 1.6% who are of other unspecified races.  While the CIA estimates that 53.7% of Brazil's population "are White", the simple fact that only 0.3% scored over 668 (compared to 15% in Liechenstein, Switzerland, Czech Republic, and Denmark, more than 17% in Hong Kong, Japan, and Korea, and more than 10% in Austria, Belgium, New Zealand, and the Slovak Republic) proves that the "Whites" from Portugal who populated Brazil who had already miscegenated with blacks, Moors, and jews prior to their expulsion in 1492, are from the lowest intellectual strata of Whites.  In Europe, however, Portuguese and Spaniards are not considered Whites, and recent DNA studies show that they are 25% Negroid and 25%

"After 500 years of active miscegenation, the 'white' population of Brazil has been reported to have a lot of Y-chromosomes of European origin, but the maternal contribution, estimated from mtDNA, has over 25% of gene markers from each of American Indian and Black African origin"

TOTTERING TUNISIANS

Almost half of the boys from Tunisia, one of the lowest scoring countries, scored lower than 358, proving the presence of a large black influence in a population which the CIA estimates to be 98% Arab and 1% European.  However, similar to Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand, and Uruguay where less than 1% scored over 668, zero percent of Tunisian boys scored over 668 proving that any Europeans there also came from miscegenated nations.

MUDDIED MEXICANS

The 36.1% of Mexicans who scored lower than 358 are made up primarily of the 30% who the CIA estimates are Amerindian.  The 60% who're mestizos [read: have some Spanish blood] are primarily the 27.1% who scored between 358 and 420, and the 21.5% who scored between 421 and 482.  The fact that only 4% of Mexicans scored over 545 suggests that the 9% who're listed as "White" are actually Hispanics whose ancestors in Spain had also mixed with blacks, Moors, and jews prior to their expulsion in 1492, just as they had in Portugal.  To add insult to injury, Mexico was one of the few countries who scored lower in 2003 than they did in 2000 (382 vs. 400) suggesting that their future is ever more muddy.

GAY OL' GREEKS

While "the Greek Government states there are no ethnic divisions in Greece", the simple fact that a fifth of Greek boys scored lower than 358 and 6% scored higher than 607 (one of the largest spreads in PISA test scores) suggests ethnic divisions of monumental proportions.  No other country which has such a large percentage of its population scoring lower than 358 (such as Mexico, Turkey, Brazil, Indonesia, Sebia, Thailand, Tunisia, and Uruguay), had such a large percentage of its population scoring over 607.  The official stance of the Greek government might be just like the political objective of the US, to wipe out ethnic divisions, but the 6% who scored over 607 are pure White descendants of the Greeks who built structures like the Parthenon 2,500 years ago which modern day Greeks, two thirds of whom scored lower than 482, can't even repair, much less design and build.

The Greek government might consider it noble to attempt to narrow the racial divide, but is it at all possible that the Whites in Greece would today be scoring as high as the Whites in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, New Zealand, Slovak Republic, Switzerland, and Liechenstein, where more than 10% scored higher than 668, if it weren't for this misguided social policy?  Might it be possible for Greece today to repeat something it did 2,500 years ago before they miscegenated their race and then declared "there are no ethnic divisions in Greece"?  Can people, two thirds of whom have math skills which are on par with Mexico and Brazil and thus have no choice but to be common laborors, even earn enough money to pay the taxes to build something that the 6% who scored over 607 are capable of designing?

By declaring that "there are no ethnic divisions in Greece", the Greeks set themselves on a course which will make them all look like Mexicans soon enough, scoring 104 points lower than the Swiss (437 vs. 540) who do recognize God's natural order and His divisions of races, and only 55 points higher than the Mexicans (382) who don't.

TURKEYS

Like Portugal, Spain, Hungary, Greece, Mexico, Brazil, Serbia, Thailand, Tunisia, Uruguay, and Italy, only a small percentage (2.6%) of Turkey boys scored higher than 668.

PROBLEMATIC PORTUGUESE

While  more than 10% of the boys in most European nations scored higher than 668, only 1.2% of Portuguese boys did, and the percentage who scored lower than 358 was equivalent to Greece, the US, Russia, Hungary, and Serbia.  The fact that Portugal itself scored 140 points higher than its cousins in Brazil is proof that Portugal is not very good at transmitting its culture to other lands, even though Portuguese is the 8th most widely spread language in the world (compared to French which is only the 11th).   Even while scoring so much higher than its cousins in Brazil, Portugal still scored 33 points lower than its neighbor Spain, 54 points lower than the OECD average, and 125 points lower than Japan.

GENUINE GERMANS

The CIA estimates that 7.2 million of Germany's population of 84.3 million, or 8.6%, are foreigners, with most of them being Turks.  Such a large Turkish population, 28% of whom scored lower than 358 back home in Turkey, is why 10.6% of boys in Germany scored lower than 358, while 7% of German boys scored higher than 668.  The German government does not declare that there are no ethnic divisions, but rather declares that there IS, and never grants citizenship to the foreigners living in Germany except in the rare event that they are of German ancestry.

ETHERLAND NETHERLANDS

The most impressive scores on PISA (in the ether, so to speak) were from the three quarters of Dutch students who attend private schools who at 573 scored 40 points higher than Dutch public school students, 20 points higher than Japanese private school students, 77 points higher than the OECD average, and 299 points higher than Peruvian public school students. 

A Dutch student: whose father completed college scored another 16 points higher than that, or 589; who attends a school where a student is not likely to be transferred to another school for behavioral problems scored 12 points higher, or 585; in a school with poor heating, cooling, and lighting scored 20 points higher, or 593;   who attends operas scored 21 points higher, or 594; in a school with poor instructional material in the library scored 12 points higher, or 585; who has no cellular telephone scored 27 points higher, or 600;  has 3 or more computers at home scored 3 points higher, or 576;  in a school where there are no disruptions from fellow students scored 14 points higher, or 587;  not hindered by teacher absenteeism scored 45 points higher, or 618; whose fellow students respect the teachers scored 40 points higher, or 613; who feels bored in school scored 3 points higher, or 576; whose school does not lack teachers scores 9 points higher, or 582;  who uses computers several times per month scores 19 points higher, or 592; uses internet at school several times per week scores 22 points higher, or 595.

Some of these factors are cumulative, but some cannot be.  For example, a Dutch student who scores 19 points higher than the average private school student at 592 and uses computers several times per month must also be the student who has computers at home, cancelling out the 3 point increase that the average student sees who simply has computers at home.  He might also be the same student who uses the internet several times per month who scores 22 points higher.  In that event, the student who has computers at home, uses them several times per month, and uses the internet at school several times per week, might score only 22 points higher than average.  But unless there's a relationship between attending operas and using computers (which there certainly can be), then it's possible that such a student would score 573 + 21 (operas) + 22 (internet) = 616. 

There are three possibilities for why a student who uses cellular phones scores 27 points lower than one who doesn't:

1. Cellular phones interfere with studies and homework.
2. Students who choose to have cellular phones are not as intelligent as those who don't.
3. A combination of the two.

Is it possible that a Dutch boy who has computers at home, uses them several times per month, uses the internet several times per week at school, and has no cellular phone, can score 643?  Of course.  Would such a student always score that high? Of course not.  Would such a student score another 20 points higher just because his school has poor utilities?  No.  But there certainly are Dutch students who COULD score that much higher, at 663, who meet all of these conditions.

This is not to say that the Dutch student who's a boy whose father completed college, with no cellular phone and a classroom which is cold in the winter and hot in the summer, with poorly stocked libraries and teachers who're abundant but not absent, who attends operas and uses the internet and computers, whose fellow students respect teachers and don't disrupt classes, AND is BORED by school, will ALWAYS be the highest scoring student--but PISA proves that this is the profile of the BEST Dutch student, and probably students in every other part of the world.

PISA 2012

Even Professor Lynn claims that Ireland's IQ is only 89, and another poster observed: 

"Thomas Sowell reports that in Northern Ireland the Catholic average lags the Protestant average by 15 IQ points.�

Since Ireland ranks 7th and we rank  24th on PISA Reading (523 vs. 498, a 25 point difference), and since each one IQ point is equivalent to 8 PISA points, that must put the US at an IQ of only 86.  Is this at all possible? Has our education system really sunk this low?

We also scored 20 points lower than Ireland in math and 25 points lower in science, further evidence [proof?] of our 3 point IQ deficiency with Ireland.

PISA 2012 was presented on 3 December 2013, with results for around 510,000 participating students in all 34 OECD member countries and 31 partner countries.^[8] This testing cycle had a particular focus on mathematics, where the mean score was 494. A sample of 1,688 students from Puerto Rico took the assessment, scoring 379 in math, 404 in reading and 401 in science
