Do Jewish People Have High IQ?


Recommended Posts

Mind blown by Israel's retaliatory attack on Iran, targeting only a few military missile sites that were defending some of their prized and most valuable oilfields, gas fields, etc. sending a very clear warning, that if we can attack these sites defending these financially invaluable sites, we can also ruin your country financially by attacking the actual targets you were trying to defend!

 

I have always wondered about the IQ of the Jewish people, from starting banking generations ago when there was no such thing, now basically running the US banking system, and also the high percentage of Chess champions (almost a third are of Jewish ancestry).

 

I know from friends I have had, they are smart, extremely so, when it comes to money!

The Israelis seem to lack basic math skills.  When you create terrorists faster than you kill them, the numbers don't go in your direction.  And every collateral death of an innocent creates newly minted potential terrorists.

 

Most of the Jews I knew in the US were pretty high IQ.   I even dated quite a few JAPs, who were generally too smart crafty by half for me.

To those who say Israeli's are dumb to allow terrorists to propogate next door through stupidity, I say, learn Chess.

 

You need to think through many, many moves way ahead.

 

There are many people who say (and can prove) that they were fully aware of the massacre of some 1200 Israeli's that took place, way before it did.

 

They did nothing to stop it, because it gave them a viable "reason" to eliminate Palestine.

 

They do not have enough land, nor enough sea ports.  They are playing the long game, my friends, they are not stupid.

Following below are some points from the links provided above. Also, all of this is referring to Ashkenazi Jews, also often referred to as European Jews, many of whom emigrated from Northern Europe (Germany, Poland, Russia) to either the USA, the UK or Israel either just before or during WW2.
 

There are also the Sephardic Jews, many of whom were born in Palestine, Syria, Iran, Turkey, Iraq, and some of the other surrounding middle eastern countries. Ethnically, Sephardic Jews look more middle eastern than the Ashkenazi Jews and don't necessarily share the same genetically inherent higher intelligence traits. 
 

---

 

Studies have generally found Ashkenazi Jews to have an average IQ in the range of 107 to 115, and Ashkenazi Jews as a group have had successes in intellectual fields out of proportion to their numbers. Today's Ashkenazi Jews have a higher average mathematical and verbal IQ and an unusual cognitive profile compared to other ethnic groups.


From roughly 800 to 1650 CE, Ashkenazi Jews in Europe were a mostly isolated genetic group. When Ashkenazi Jews married non-Jews, they usually left the Jewish community; few non-Jews married into the Jewish community.

 

During the same period, laws barred Ashkenazi Jews from most jobs, including farming and crafts, and forced them into finance, management, and international trade. Wealthy Jews had several more children per family than poor Jews. So, genes for cognitive traits such as verbal and mathematical talent, which make a person successful in the few fields where Jews could work, were favored; genes for irrelevant traits, such as spatio-visual abilities, were supported by less selective pressure than in the general population. Given the high heritability of IQ, 800 years is plenty of time for the selective pressure on verbal and mathematical intelligence to produce a 16-point increase in IQ.

I'm going to get away from the War postings and answer the question 

 

Do Jewish people have higher IQ ?

Yes I think they do 

 

I watched Hardcore Porn reality show where the Gold family owned the Detroit Pawn shop and Mr Les Gold was very shrewd and smart 

 

They are good at business and money 

Lovely people

didn't notice much difference business-wise. Pretty average folks, some are boring like "Bangkok Post", some stingy. 

Yet nobody here define the term "Jewish people". 

 

If I go to order say sapphires at JTC - do I have to yell "Jewish People please stand up"?

 

If I meet dude eating at McDonald I shouldn't deal with him as BigMac is not kosher so he isn't Jewish and has lower IQ hence no good for business?

 

About 15 years ago I met thai lady who passed gyur (she said so) in Ozzy-Land. So during her transition into "jewish-ness" her IQ was rising like a bamboo? #TOTHEMOON 

 

What a nonsense, seriously!

Among Jews the most popular answer to who is a Jew is simply a person born of a Jewish mother (in the matrilineal tribal sense). Following the faith or not doesn't come into it.

Of course over the ages there has been intermarriage, rapes by Mongols, conversions due to marriage and otherwise, etc.

If you go a reform (liberal sect) Jewish congregation today it'll look like a Colors of Benetton ad.

Amazing stats! 

Dear @GammaGlobulin I'm not arguing with you, just ...

after pogroms and WW2 are there any jews left in Eastern Europe? 

Praha, Budapest, Sofia, Tirana, Belgrade, Riga, Vilnius, <<<< seriously there are jews living? Wow! They were obviously hiding 😉

Sephardic jews in Europe are quite different from Ashkenazi, but yes, they are very ___________. My most favorite are in France. Smart, intelligent and super supportive, like relatives. The smartest (IMO) are Dutch Jews. No matter where - Bangkok, AMS or Berlin - you can notice them 


PS: Still I don't distinguish semites from non-semites, Gal Gadot from goyim.

I think trying to access someone's IQ when they believe - like muslims, christians, hindu, budists etc - in a deity that cannot be proven exists , lowers IQ considerably in my opinion.

Yes, most folks practicing Judaism are jews, but no, most jews do not follow Torah scriptures, observe Shabbat and rules of kashrut. 

Being jew is being born in jewish family even atheistic [most I've met are]

There are over 200 Jewish Nobel Prize winners in the hard sciences - chemistry, physics, medicine. Worldwide, there are 44 million Jews.

 

There are 1.4 billion Muslims. They have produced two Nobel winners in the same categories.

 

Draw your own conclusions.

The jews do not run the  US banking system. They never have, and have in fact were historically blocked from senior positions in the banking industry. Obviously you are unaware of the nature of banking in the USA, since most of the multi-state  banks in the USA are publicly owned, which means ownership by the general public, by pension and investment funds. 

 

Historically, the most accomplished  jewish people have come from cultures which encouraged everyone to achieve.  One of the reasons why so many jewish scientists were European  nationalities was because there were advanced universities that they could attend, albeit subject to quotas. The Middle east did not have a culture of education  and advancement. Israel has invested heavily in its educational system. It is a lesson now copied by several  Gulf States. The Iranians too had a tradition of education, but that ended with the creation of the Islamic Republic. 

 

Science does not do well in a vacuum, Many brilliant scientists are also gifted musicians and artists. Cultures which do not value music or art do not advance. They stagnate and regress. The European Renaissance was a time of new ideas both in science and the arts. The Islamic world still awaits such a change in its culture.

 

The jews who have come  from cultures where freedom and opportunity is respected and  enabled, have  flourished. It is why they super achieved once they arrived in the USA and to a lesser extent Canada, South Africa and Australia. In the USA, despite the inherent prejudice, they were free of the oppressive bigotry of Europe and had opportunities.

Cultures which encourage fun and personal happiness enable scientific brilliance and western culture does this.
