I’ve been getting a lot of new traffic on my blog, and after investigating where it was coming from, I was honored to discover that a major blogger named ANATOLY KARLIN has added me to their blogroll. I am listed in the Top IQ/HBD Thinkers section along side such luminaries as Steve Sailer, JayMan, HBD chick and Steve Hsu.
The blogroll finds a way to make each of us HBD bloggers feel special. Emil Kirkegaard is listed as “possibly the highest IQ IQ-blogger”. Dr. James Thomson is listed as “the most comprehensive IQ-blogger”. I’m listed as “possibly the most entertaining IQ-blogger” though perhaps they’re talking about my commenters, not me. Steve Sailer is listed as “our Lord, the King of the HBDsphere”. JayMan is listed as “Black-Asian American proving HBD with maps and stats”.
I don’t know if I believe JayMan has significant Asian blood. JayMan was probably told by his parents, who were told by their parents that somewhere in the family history there is Asian blood, but often people are mistaken about such matters.
Even when African Americans really do have Asian or white blood, folks just don’t want to hear it. Tiger Woods once said he was Cablinasian (Caucasian, Black, Indian, and Asian) and the black community went absolutely ballistic, yelling “Tiger YOU ARE BLACK! Period! End of story! None of this Cablinasian shit!”
Blacks learn early that they need to keep quiet about any non-black ancestry that they have, because blacks get very angry, and tragically, other races get very angry too when a black claims to be related to them. So kudos to JayMan for breaking the taboo.
Jayman is Jamaican, Chinese and Indian admixture are common there.
Although the East Asian admixture is quite small. Less than 6% of the average Jamaican genome:

Oh my god you are so entertaining.
You’re to the HBD-sphere what tabloids are to real news…Don’t take that the wrong way.
You carved out a niche in an arena with some very high-IQ, intelligent people, and made them respect you. You’re like the Oprah of IQ blogs. You should be very proud of yourself!
Thank you! 🙂
And you’re right, your commenters are a good portion of what makes your blog great!
Congrats to us!
That’s well enough for Jayman to be 18% or 24% Chinese if he’s 3 or 4 times more Chinese in ancestry than the average Jamaican.
There’s full-blooded Chinamen.
in Jamaica.
but they are not 6% of the population.
And there are few Chinese Jamaican families without mixed race members. So it is entirely plausible the Jayman is partly Asian, as he claims to be. And Pumpkin person has to stop thinking he can distort reality as he pleases.
as for jayman, since there’s no picture or info about him, it’s hard to know
I enjoy reading your estimates of famous people’s IQs.
Could you do Putin? (I have some faint ideas but I am curious to see what you would come up with).
I want to see IQ estimates of the following people: Terrence Tao, Weird Al Yankovic, Richard Nixon (Steve Sailer claims its 140), Jimi Hendrix, Rob Ford, Magnus Carlsen, and Vladimir Putin also (maybe some other world leaders like Angela Merkel, and Jeremy Corbyn, who’s supposed to be really stupid). Do some other rich people like Warren Buffett (whom Dr. Steve Hsu has already determined to be over 135).
And do a Flesch-Kincaid test on some of the commenters here.
I recall from somewhere that Buffett did perfectly or nearly-perfectly on the old SAT.
Bill Gates reportedly scored 1590 on the old SAT (though sources are inconsistent)
Never heard anything about buffet scoring high & buffet is always downplaying the correlation between IQ & money which implies he doesn’t think he’s that smart
Could you do Putin? (I have some faint ideas but I am curious to see what you would come up with).
Putin’s IQ would be very hard to estimate but I will try to do so, sometime this month
Richard Nixon (Steve Sailer claims its 140)
Mugabe/Videla claims Nixon was the smartest president ever. Nixon’s biographer, Roger Morris discovered that Nixon tested at 143 in Fullerton High School in California. It makes sense that he would be brilliant because he rose up from very humble beginnings to become the most powerful man on Earth despite being considered ugly.
Nixon also graduated first in his class at Duke Law School. That probably puts a minimum on his IQ of the top percentile. It’s sad that the smartest president also had to be such a scumbag.
Also, I don’t think being ugly matters as much for men as it does for women (Carly Fiorina will probably be hurt more by her ugliness than Donald Trump). Though the modern medium of television has emphasized good presentation skills for all candidates regardless of gender, starting with the Nixon-Kennedy presidential election in 1960.
what is emil’s iq?
