Up until 1937, IQ studies purported that the Jewish IQ was the same as the White European IQ. It was not until decades after that the Jewish IQ rose beyond that of White Europeans.
According to Ron Unz: In some respects, perhaps it was the enormously outsize Jewish academic performance of the past which was highly anomalous, and the more recent partial convergence toward white European norms which is somewhat less surprising. Over the years, claims have been widely circulated that the mean Jewish IQ is a full standard deviation—15 points—above the white average of 100,[64] but this seems to have little basis in reality. Richard Lynn, one of the world’s foremost IQ experts, has performed an exhaustive literature review and located some 32 IQ samples of American Jews, taken from 1920 to 2008. For the first 14 studies conducted during the years 1920–1937, the Jewish IQ came out very close to the white American mean, and it was only in later decades that the average figure rose to the approximate range of 107–111.[65] Pic 1

The 115 number for the Jewish IQ comes from an admittedly false study that focused on a wealthy private school. The study itself admits that the sample is not representative.

Some have begged the question, why do Jews fill all the elite positions of our society? I will not divulge to much farther into this with data, since this post is about IQ, not stats on their overrepresentation in all elite positions, but we can take for example that Jews make up 25% of the student body in Ivy League schools, and even at one point made up 2/3rds of grad students at Harvard.
Some, like Jordan Peterson, have posed that Jews deserve their entitled role as administrators of our society, because of their high IQ, that IQ being 115. Even if we accept that the Jewish IQ is 115, the amount of White American high functioning and gifted individuals far exceeds that of the Jewish population. These are not only the people who are being shut out of elite positions in the societies of their Forefathers, but the people who are being shut out of admissions into the best colleges in our country.

Political pundit Jared Howe says:
EVEN IF WE ACCEPT THE MATH
And you'll notice Jordan Peterson doesn't give the total population sizes when he talks about this, so we'll give those, but even if you accept the math, the Jewish IQ myth doesn't make sense.
5.3 million Jews in America / 115 average IQ (supposedly)
197 million white people / 100 average IQ
Jews with IQ 115-130 (34.13% of all American Jews): 1.8 million
Whites with IQ 115-130 (13.59% of all American whites): 26.7 million
Jews with IQ 130-145 (13.59% of all American Jews): 720,000
Whites with IQ 130-145 (2.15% of all American whites): 4.2 million
This means there are five times as many whites with gifted IQ than there are Jews, period.
Calculating the percentage of people from a certain group with a genius IQ is actually pretty easy if we know the average IQ, the standard deviation, and the total population size -- which we do.
All we have to do is find the z-score by substracting the mean from the sample and dividing the result by the standard deviation. From there, we look up the z-score in a standard distribution table to find the percentile, then we just plug in the total population size for our answer.
So for whites, we substract 100 (average white IQ) from 140 (genius IQ) and divide that by 15 (standard deviation), which gives us a z-score of 2.67. This z-score corresponds to the 99.6 percentile, which means .04% of whites have IQs 140 or above.
So for Jews, we substract 115 (average Jewish IQ, allegedly; needs citation) from 140 (genius IQ) and divide that by 15 (standard deviation), which gives us a z-score of 1.67. This z-score corresponds to the 95.2 percentile, which means 4.8% of Jews have IQs 140 or above.
.04% of 197 million (total white population of America) is 788,000.
4.8% of 5.3 million (total Jewish population of America) is 254,400.
Hmmm....
That means there's more than three times as many white geniuses than there are Jewish geniuses. Pic 2
Ron Unz tends to agree and says:
This conclusion is supported by the General Social Survey (GSS), an online dataset of tens of thousands of American survey responses from the last forty years which includes the Wordsum vocabulary test, a very useful IQ proxy correlating at 0.71. Converted into the corresponding IQ scores, the Wordsum-IQ of Jews is indeed quite high at 109. But Americans of English, Welsh, Scottish, Swedish, and Catholic Irish ancestry also have fairly high mean IQs of 104 or above, and their combined populations outnumber Jews by almost 15-to-1, implying that they would totally dominate the upper reaches of the white American ability distribution, even if we excluded the remaining two-thirds of all American whites, many of whose IQs are also fairly high. Furthermore, all these groups are far less highly urbanized or affluent than Jews,[67] probably indicating that their scores are still artificially depressed to some extent. We should also remember that Jewish intellectual performance tends to be quite skewed, being exceptionally strong in the verbal subcomponent, much lower in math, and completely mediocre in visuospatial ability; thus, a completely verbal-oriented test such as Wordsum would actually tend to exaggerate Jewish IQ.Pic 3
Also, I think it is interesting to consider the IQ of Israel, it being only 95.
Alright, you're welcome for the information faggots. Godspeed with it.
