There was a lot more to the video than just that one statistic LOL! It holds true for most countries in the world as well, India's population is much larger than that of the UK , so the stat holds true there.
What are the ramifactions for that though? That the top performers of one country, India, can fill entire other countries? Why aren't they running the world,are they producing amazing advances in medicine and technology that we haven't heard about? What is the world doing with that resource? :-) China...China is set to be the largest English Speaking nation...that shocked me..but it makes sense just by sheer population numbers alone. But you wouldn't normally think of it in that way. You'd much quicker say the top english speaking country is the UK..or the US or something like that. You wouldn't think of China, or at least I wouldn't. 2009/6/11 Justin Scott <jscott-li...@gravityfree.com>: > >> On Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 1:57 PM, Vivec<gel21...@gmail.com> wrote: >> > The 25% of India's Population with the highest IQs, is greater than >> > the entire population of the United States >> >> Or for that matter saying that the dumbest 25% of India's population >> is larger than the entire population of the United states? > > Yes, and they conveniently leave out what the 75th percentile IQ in India > is, or how it actually compares to the same percentile IQ in the United > States, so the statistic is pretty much pointless.
