Countries by IQ
IQ testing takes place around the world, and this data has been compiled to rank the most intelligent nations based solely on IQ. According to the most recent data, Singapore and Hong Kong have the highest IQ scores in 108. South Korea has the second-highest IQ score of 106, followed by Japan and China with an average of 105.
However, it’s important to remember that IQ is not the only measure of intelligence. Nations can also be ranked based on factors such as school test rankings or the number of Nobel Prizes won throughout the years. For example, Singapore has the highest IQ but is not considered the smartest nation in the world. That honor goes to Japan, which is ranked more highly in school test rankings and the number of past Nobel Prizes awarded.
