I got the general idea suki-ku..suki what I wanted to know is stuff like:
How many people per country were examined? Were the tests in their native language or in english? When was it tested? How often?

thanks for the explanation though awesome dud...girl!

How come you can spell geniuses but not Japanese?

And with regards to the IQ test thing, I must be pretty above average for my country if my IQ is 136.
Those averages can't be right.

He probably thought the he knew how to spell japanese, and was insecure about the plural of genius. So he looked that up. ..that's my theory anyway

You're a try hard.

Anyway, I took the test in English which ain't my first lenguage, does that mean I would have got a higher punctuation if I'd taken it in Spanish?

I agree, those avarges can't be right cause America's is too high to be true.

All countries have their strengths and weaknesses. Back before World War 2, Japan had one of the largest navies in the world, easily able to rival America.
After they were left with almost nothing by the dropping of the Atomic Bombs, they stood up and rebuilt their country even better. Most Plants, Art, Landscaping etc and some Martial Arts are associated with Japan. On top of that, Japan became hugely successful in the electronics industry. They adapted to change and didn't let it outdo them. They built buildings resistant to earthquakes and perfected evacuation procedures while other countries in similar situations were yet to get up and do something about it.
Because of these attributes and many others, Japan is indeed a very awesome country.
Kudos to them.
