Top 10 countries with the highest IQ
Imagine how many tests it took to get to that list! This merit must be attributed to the company Wiqtcom Inc, which is a Finnish organization that has been dedicated to these studies since 2019. Check the list:
in 10th place
Vietnam, with a score of 108.89, is located in Southeast Asia and situated on the South China Sea. It is known for its beaches, rivers, Buddhist pagodas and bustling cities.
in 9th place
We have Finland! This country's score was 109.14. The reason for its success lies in the robust education system and highly trained teachers that are a crucial part of advancing the country's education.
in 8th place
We found Serbia! This is a European country that, despite ranking eighth, scores high on IQ. With 109.81 on the test, the place and its population are reasons for great pride.
in 7th place
We have Hungary! The tiny European nation has some of the smartest minds on the continent. She scored 110.41. This is due to the grand educational system of this country.
in 6th place
Of course she wouldn't be left out: Hong Kong. The iodine-rich diet and enviable educational system earned it a score of 110.72 on the test. The number is impressive, but it could not be different when we are talking about a country that is highly developed.
in 5th place
Italy! In addition to a lot of charm and good cuisine, the country has a score that reached 110.79. A curious fact is that Galileo and Leonardo Da Vinci were from Italy. Now it seems like it makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
in 4th place
And here we point to Iran. This country is gifted with smart people as it reached a score of 110.90. That explains Maryam Mirzakhani, a gifted Iranian mathematician who was the first female Field Medal recipient.
in 3rd place
We found Taiwan. This country holds most of the semiconductor market. This was only possible because of the intelligence of its people. Her score was 110.96, which is why she is in this position.
in 2nd place
South Korea beat all previous ones. South Koreans are very concerned about grades and school performance to get good jobs, which is why they reached an incredible 111.09 points on the test.
And in 1st place
Maybe it's not a surprise, but... at the top of the list we have the Japan with 112.54! This makes them the best on the list, taking first place! Did you expect this? What was your initial guess of the country with the highest IQ?
