Dumbest Countries

The ninety-sixth dumbest country is Afghanistan, the country has an average IQ of 82.12. This is a result of factors such as poverty, malnutrition, and limited access to educational opportunities. Many parts of Afghanistan lack basic infrastructure and resources, including educational materials and qualified teachers. This contributes to lower academic performance among many Afghan children, leading to lower overall IQ scores compared to other nations.

The ninetieth dumbest country is Albania, the country has an average IQ of 81.75 and has a relatively low IQ level compared to other countries in Europe. There are significant differences between rural and urban populations when it comes to educational attainment – only 30% of rural Albanians have completed secondary school compared to over 60% of urban locals. It is worth noting that socioeconomic factors like poverty and limited access to quality education may be playing a role in the comparatively low average IQ in Albania.

The one-hundred-seventy-fifth dumbest country is Australia, which has an average IQ of 99.24. Australia has increased investment in education and more access to educational resources are available, seeing the averageIQ improve over the previous decades. Some experts have hypothesized that certain lifestyle changes, such as reducing alcohol consumption and increasing exercise, may have played a role in boosting overall intelligence levels in Australia.

The one-hundred-eleventh dumbest country is Azerbaijan, which has an average IQ of 84.81. Even though Azerbaijan has a low average IQ, its population still performs relatively well when compared to other developing countries around the world. This may be due to factors such as solid educational systems, adequate healthcare access and nutrition, and a strong economy that provides more opportunities for citizens to develop their skills. Azerbaijani government agencies have taken initiatives such as introducing mandatory courses concerning phonetic reading and mathematical concepts in schools across the country.

The one-hundred-first dumbest country is Brazil, which has an average IQ of 83.38. Socio-economic factors such as poverty, malnutrition, and lack of access to healthcare play a role in lowering the average IQ score among Brazilians. As does education, the majority of people in Brazil come from an educational background that is traditionally focused on vocational rather than theoretical skills. This means that the Brazilian education system often does not provide enough opportunities for students to develop higher-order thinking skills, which can lead to lower overall IQ scores among the population.

The one-hundred-seventy-eighth dumbest nation is Canada, the country has an average IQ of 99.52. Canadian intelligence appears to vary according to individual ability and educational level, where those with higher education tend to have significantly higher IQ scores than those without. Certain regions in Canada also have higher or lower IQ averages than others, as cities like Toronto and Vancouver boast scores above 100 while rural regions often score lower than the national average.

The ninety-third “dumbest” country is the Dominican Republic, which has an average IQ of 82.05. This lower IQ score can be attributed to a number of factors including a lack of educational resources and disparities in income levels. The country's history of poverty and inequality also contributes to this lower IQ.

The one-hundred-eighty-third dumbest nation is Germany, the country has an average IQ score of 100.74. It has been suggested that this high IQ is partly due to the fact that Germany has a very strong emphasis on education, with 97% of 25-34-year-olds having completed at least upper secondary education. Germany's literacy rate is at 99%, one of the highest globally.

The one-hundred-fortieth dumbest country is Greece, which has an average IQ score of 90.77. The low average IQ in Greece can be attributed to a variety of factors such as a lack of access to quality education and health services and low levels of nutrition for many members of society. Economic hardship faced by citizens within the country could also contribute to lower IQ scores in comparison to other countries with better economic and social conditions. There have been initiatives aimed at improving overall intelligence levels among Greek citizens by introducing new methods of teaching and learning which can help people think more critically and solve complex problems more effectively.

The seventh dumbest country is Guinea, which has an average IQ of 53.48. Guinea has suffered from political unrest in recent years, leading to increased economic hardship and limited resources available for educational support, essential for developing cognitive skills and abilities.

The ninety-fifth dumbest country is Haiti, which has an average IQ of 82.1. This low IQ level is largely attributed to poverty and a lack of adequate access to education in Haiti. Poor nutrition, sanitation, and health care also contribute to lower cognitive development due to the lack of resources.

The fifty-sixth dumbest nation is India, which has an average IQ of 76.24. Evidence suggests that India's education system and economic development are making a positive impact on the country's average IQ scores, with set scores increasing over time. Researchers have also argued that the average IQ in India could actually be higher than 82, as traditional intelligence tests may not accurately capture the cognitive capacity of people from Indian culture.

The one-hundred-fifty-sixth dumbest country is Ireland, which has an average IQ of 95.13. Ireland tends to be slightly above the global average in mental arithmetic and visual puzzles, while performing at or slightly below average in verbal and numerical reasoning tests. The average IQ score for Irish males is 96 while it is 94 for females. This small difference between genders is in line with the global trend, where males tend to have a small edge over females when it comes to IQ scores.

The one-hundred-forty-sixth dumbest nation is Israel, which has an average IQ of 92.43. The educational system in Israel is highly regarded, with 97% of students completing secondary school by age 17 and 87% completing higher education. Despite having higher than average rates of educational attainment, the IQ scores have remained unchanged for over a decade.

The one-hundred-ninety-third dumbest nation is Japan, which has the highest average IQ score in the world at 106.48. The country’s comprehensive educational system also plays an important role in their high average IQ scores and research has indicated that the strong focus on education from a young age has helped in a strong average IQ. Other factors that have been attributed to this high average include the Japanese emphasis on teamwork and collaboration, their general respect for knowledge and wisdom, and their overall culture of hard work.

The eleventh dumbest country is Mali, which has an average IQ score of 59.76. Mali’s education system is one of the weakest in West Africa and only 58% of children between the ages 6-11 attend school. There are also very few resources available for those wishing to pursue higher education, contributing to a low adult literacy rate of 28%, significantly lower than the world average. That all contributes to the nation's low average IQ.

The one-hundred-twenty-fifth dumbest country is Mexico, which has an average IQ score of 87.73. The majority of Mexican citizens live in rural areas where educational materials are scarce, rising poverty levels, and unequal access to education opportunities all contribute to low average IQ scores. Despite challenges posed by these factors, Mexico has made great strides in recent years toward improving education outcomes for its citizens; this includes increased investment in public schooling programs and expanded access to higher education institutions.

The forty-fifth dumbest country is Mozambique, which has an average IQ score of 72.5. Though the score reflects a gap between the developed and developing countries, Mozambique has been making significant strides towards closing this gap. In recent years, educational standards have improved markedly and investments in primary education are continuing to rise. The UN estimates that over 80% of children between the ages of 6 and 13 now attend school. Living conditions in Mozambique are also slowly improving with increasing access to healthcare and nutrition, both of which are known to contribute positively to cognitive development.

The dumbest country in the world is Nepal, which has the lowest average IQ in the world at 42.99. The reasons for Nepal being the dumbest nation in the world is due to Nepal's limited access to educational resources and opportunities, making it difficult for individuals to receive a quality education and reach higher levels of cognitive development. Many people in Nepal live in poverty and without proper nutrition, leading to stunted intellectual development. The lack of modern technological infrastructure also plays a role, as it denies people access to new sources of knowledge and advancements in scientific understanding.

The forty-third dumbest country in the world is Niger, which has an average IQ of 70.82. Poverty, similarly to other nations with a low average IQ, plays an important role in affecting Niger’s average IQ. Education levels are also generally quite low, often due to limited access or resources. In many cases, public schools are overcrowded or lack trained teachers capable of delivering quality instruction. This further contributes to Niger's lower-than-average IQ score and creates a significant challenge for their educational system moving forward.

The twenty-eighth dumbest nation is Nigeria, which has an average IQ of 67.76. It has been found that education significantly affects IQ scores in Nigeria, those with at least some higher education have an average IQ score of 75 while those without higher education have an average IQ score of 57. States throughout Nigeria also have varying IQ scores, for example, Imo State had an average IQ score of 77 while Osun State had an average IQ score of 61, indicating that there are discrepancies in intellectual development across states in Nigeria potentially due to differences in poverty level, access to healthcare and education.

The seventy-ninth dumbest country is Pakistan, which has an average IQ of 80. Regional disparities exist within the country, with some areas having higher levels of educational attainment than others due to varying economic resources and access to quality education. The low ranking of IQ can be attributed to various factors such as inadequate educational systems, inadequate public health care services, poor nutritional status, and environmental constraints.

The eighty-eighth dumbest nation is the Philippines, which has an average IQ of 81.64. Research shows that there are certain areas where Filipinos excel in terms of intelligence - such as math and science - due to their propensity for hard work, dedication, and creativity. It was found that Filipinos with higher education tend to possess higher IQs than those without a college degree or higher.

The one-hundred-sixtieth dumbest nation is Russia, which has an average IQ of 96.29. The average IQ of Russians has been steadily rising in recent years, likely due to improved nutrition and access to education for children, as well as increased awareness about cognitive development. Researchers have found that there are regional differences in Russia's average IQ scores, similarly to other countries around the world.

The one-hundred-ninety-first dumbest country is Singapore, which has an average IQ of 105.89. This high level of intelligence is due to Singapore's high standards of education and its commitment to fostering a culture of learning and innovation. For instance, Singaporean primary schools have implemented an Advanced Curriculum Program (ACP) that encourages students to pursue studies in more challenging areas such as science, math, and technology. This program creates an environment where students are continuously challenged and encouraged to develop their full intellectual potential.

The twenty-sixth dumbest country is Somalia, which has an average IQ of 67.67. Somalia has been experiencing political turmoil for years, reducing the average IQ score as access to education and other basic resources is scarce. The World Bank reported that Somalia has an unemployment rate of around 44%, which contributes to a lack of opportunity for many citizens. While most countries are seeing an increase in educational attainment levels, Somalia still has one of the lowest rates in terms of primary school enrollment. This limited access to educational resources can have an impact on IQ scores.

The tenth dumbest country is South Sudan, which has an average IQ of 58.61. The root cause of South Sudan's low average intelligence quotient is likely a combination of nutritional deficiencies, poor healthcare, and educational systems, as well as war-related stressors such as displacement and displacement-related hunger. Despite recent efforts from both national and international organizations, access to basic services such as public health infrastructure remain severely limited in many parts of the country.
