Chyna the gookland isn’t over 100 IQ by any means.

They are notorious for cheating on their tests.

Also these numbers don't make any sense. IQ scores are relative, not absolute, with 100 being the average of the population. Therefore how can they compare IQ scores between different countries? They'd need to get a representative sample from each country and get them to do the same test. This is just not possible.

The capacity to learn and retain information is not relative, it is like how much weight a man can lift, or how fast he can run a distance.

There is no 'curve', 100 is not a special as it is in percentiles or percentages, it's a function of the history; the system for examining and measuring intelligence was created by people with an average IQ of 100.

Comparisons between countries are done with language-agnostic IQ tests which use no words or numbers.

IQ is a test that needs to be interpreted and normalized. Test scores increase with age, so that must be accounted for too. Part of the curve they're graded on.

It's complicated and IQ is heavily simplified, but the results in Africa speak for themselves. IQ is real.

So tell me, what does an IQ of 100 mean exactly?

You seem to think that it's a specific score that was achieved by a specific group of people at a certain point in time, but this is not true.

That is literally what it is. It was the center point of the peoples (anglo, germanic, frankish, italian mostly) on whom the testing was done, and so as with the metric distances being pegged to (attempted) measurements of the planet, IQ was pegged to our centerpoint. If they wanted an order of magnitude more granularity without using decimals, the centerpoint would be 1000 -- but it would still be based on whites.

The numbers are probably based off the work of Richard Lynn. His methodology had some problems especially in countries with low testing rates, but it seems to be the best we have.

It's entirely possible to test between countries though if you pick one as a benchmark and then use the same or comparable tests across the world.

So walk me through how they came up with China's IQ score, please.

Do international researches show up in Beijing, go to the CCP headquarter, and say "give us 50 subjects to test"? Or do they go to a Chinese university? Or do they recruit volunteers through an ad in a newspaper?

You see where I'm getting at.
IQ clearly varies a lot between individuals, let alone the ability to take the test; people who have already taken an IQ test before have a big advantage.

Therefore how the sample is selected makes all the difference.
I'm sure I could go to Nigeria and, if I look hard enough, I should be able to find a bunch of niggers with 120 IQ.

If you are really curious, rather than reinventing the wheel here is a quick succinct article discussing the methodology and implications. It also links to some of Lynn's studies where the methodology is laid out in a more academic manner:

Theyre good at cheating on tests, like jews, though their ability to steal and copy western tech makes me think they are in the 90-100 range, if it were lower, they wouldnt be able to do anything with what the jews give them.
