I did not expect these guys would talk about IQ or IQ statistics, so a little introduction.
IQ tests were used by the US military since ww1 to determine if someone has the general intelligence to perform basic tasks and remember their training properly, if they did not pass the minimal nessisary IQ they would not be allowed to serve the military because it would have been a waste of time, money and human resources to train that person.
IQ tests are not biased or catered to a specific demografic, it's simply a tool used to measure and quantify Intelligence.
now for the spicy part some people for some reason have issue with IQ tests, not all human population groups have the same general intelligence and there seems to be a gap between specific demografic groups that indicates a lower IQ and therefor lower Intelligence than others, which makes sense if you understand evolution, evolutionary pressures and sexual selection.
people who are smart have a higher IQ compared to people who are generaly less Inteligent, due note that IQ is not an indication of success, many people who are very smart are also autistic and have trouble socializing and getting ahead in human societies, not only that but from a evolutionary perspective, less intelligent people tend to have more children so they are evolutionary more successfull compared to smart people who tend to have few children if at all also many smart people have mental disorders.
IQ is not an indication of someone's superiority, it's a measure of someone's potential to perform and advance specific fields of science, art, education, technology or other ventures.
I would hope most people here are open minded enough towards this concept and not shout people down or demand their opinions to be silenced which happens way to often these days.
