[Host: The income-IQ correlation was inspired by the book "IQ and the Wealth of Nations," by Richard Lynn and Tatu Vanhanen. The income statistics are now perhaps a decade old, but were apparently the only numbers available to the original compiler when the results of the '00 election became available (and this chart was made).

========= So Eq Guinea should be heavily Republican and corrupt while Hong Kong is thoroughly Democratic and entrepreneurial. Since the US is at 98, it should, by definition, lean Democratic.

Therefore it follows that all previous Republican wins were stolen from Democrats and are a result of vote fraud.

Do you really think an American-style IQ test is valid in Equitorial Guinea? How long do you think an American, even with a high IQ would survive if dropped into the middle of Equitorial Guinea with no funds or support system? Or vice versa? Kinda seems like apples and oranges to me.

Besides, my question involved happiness and it's correlation with wealth and intelligence. Your study is about the correlation between wealth and intelligence. The guy in Equitorial Guinea might be happier with 10 goats than $10,000 in little paper rectangles.
