This isn't true. The article has no sources and as already mentioned the "first" sample testing done thats referenced in the article showed that WASPS came out with a higher average IQ than the jews did in the same study.
But here's the thing. You can find out what the average IQ of Askanazis are. Take the average IQ of Isreal(96 I believe last tested) take the % of Ashkanazis living in Isreal and the % of all the other jews(not all jews are ashkanazis) and figure out what the IQ of all the other jews necessarily have to be for the average IQ of Isreal as a whole to end up as 96 accounting for the Ashkanazis average to be something around 110.
They'd have to have an average sub american black IQ to make the math work, which isn't true. So it's a lie. Shocking I'm sure.
Don't know why this thread is now filled with discussion of Jewish IQ but the "high IQ" thing so far as I am aware of primarily came from a study that didn't make any allowances for urban vs. rural populations. Urban people on the whole score slightly higher on IQ tests than rural people. (Which is an argument IQ tests don't accurately assess smarts, imo, but anyway...) Jewish people culturally tend to dwell in larger urban areas. Don't know if that's a diaspora thing or something else but the study didn't allow for it and so produced a misleading result which got taken up as accepted truth by some people.
I don't know about other studies that may say Jewish people have higher average IQs but Ashkenazi jews are basically Western Europeans. So if there is any racial influence on IQ for Jewish people I wouldn't expect it to differ from other Western Europeans. The only biological difference between Jewish and Western European peoples I'm aware of is Jewish people having dicks that give less pleasure. And that's not a genetic thing, it's a removal of nerve endings without consent thing.
