Is this someone's project for a psych 101 class at a crappy college? The sample sizes are so small that the results can't be scientifically valid. Unless they tested every person using the exact same IQ test (instead of using results from numerous different tests), there is no way to reasonably compare those results.

Also, many of the tests are culturally biased. The Kaufman-Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) tends to yield better scores from minorities, but the results don't have a high enough validity or reliability when compared to other IQ tests. It has a lot of questions that are biased toward Western culture (example: showing a picture of Abraham Lincoln and asking the person who it is). Only a moron would use that test on sub-Saharan Africans and expect accurate results.


You missed the correlation with Raven's matrices results in table 2.

Cherrypicking is bad science.
