They found that intelligence made a difference in gross domestic product. For each one-point increase in a country's average IQ, the per capita GDP was $229 higher. It made an even bigger difference if the smartest 5 percent of the population got smarter; for every additional IQ point in that group, a country's per capita GDP was $468 higher.
Did they mention how they knew the top 5% got smarter? Did they say how they got smarter? And smarter in what way? Was it based on higher degrees of college at the same year the GDP went up? Was it based on the higher iq people getting better jobs and being more involved? How would you even know that when adults don't discuss iq's? Oh, the iq's were averaged and the Phd's were averaged per capita. But are they really better educating the smartest 5%? How are they doing that? I guess you could take the emphasis off the early childhood education and put more rigor in the universities. What did they do better that made the smarties more successful and contribute more to society? I guess you're hinting that the commies did better than us.
