Liberals have been complaining about what a fool Kanye West made of himself yesterday, by ranting incoherently at the white house and allowing himself to be used as a prop by President Trump.
However during the rant West claimed to have seen a psychologist and scored at the 98th percentile in IQ, but “only” the 75th percentile in repeating numbers. If this self-report can be trusted, it sounds like he was administered the WAIS-IV and got a full-scale IQ of 130 but a 110 in the working memory index.
Of course West also claimed to be a billionaire, so he seems prone to wild hyperbole (or confusion), however the IQ results sound more authentic because he gave a percentile (unlike many people who just claim an IQ) and it wasn’t astronomical (unlike most false high IQ claims), and because he also admitted to scoring mediocre in the repeating numbers section.
Of course liberals will consider him dumb not just because he’s a conservative, but because as a black man he should know better. However he might be smart enough to realize that unlimited (low-skilled) immigration is bad for the black community because it drives down wages, and thus may have given his Trump support more thought than meets the eye. And Trump’s tax cuts are certainly good for him as a business man.
There’s also the fact that West is supposedly very good at drawing, and might easily score 130+ on the Draw-a-Person IQ test.
It’s always interesting when a super rich person has some special talent that’s completely different from the talent for which they got rich, because it implies they have general intelligence, and are not just one-trick ponies who were in the right place at the right time.
Of course West doesn’t talk like someone with an IQ above 130, or even above 100, but having grown up middle class home with a PhD mother (high IQ DNA?), he may feel the need to sound especially ghetto to prove he’s part of hip-hop culture and not some privileged elite. Add to that his mediocre working memory (75th percentile) and long sentences might not be his forte. In addition, like a lot of creative people, he might be mentally ill, causing him to seem much dumber than he is.
Trump described him as a smart cookie, but whether that was sincere or condescension, I know not. Whatever Trump’s flaws, he’s probably very good at reading people.
Anyway, I hope West really does have a 98th percentile IQ. It’s always fascinating when a high IQ person gets rich in a field that has nothing to do with academics and required no academic credentials. It shows IQ tests really do measure intelligence and predict real world adaptive behavior and not just narrow book smarts.

To the cultural marxist/communist, such an outcome would be dandy. All IQ differences ‘cured’ by brain steroids. All personality features by hormonal treatments. And perhaps some sort of magic surgical solution to even out dark triad traits among different groups.
This ‘solution’ is a ‘solution’ to a fake problem. The real problem was never that people differed in certain traits and abilities and this caused disharmony. Tribes have attacked and subjugated tribes for thousands of years. Often it was very clear to everyone who was more advanced/civilised/fought more fiercely etc. And essentially most tribes draw their identity from these conflicts and their differences.
The problem is inventing some new age paradigm that evolution shouldn’t apply to humans and we should accept everyone as what they are. This ‘universal love’ stuff is really popular with cult leaders. Every cult I’ve seen seems to have it. Its chick crack.
If you believe evolution applies to birds, bees and polar bears, then it has to always apply to humans. Once you accept it you get a bit more stricter on what you deem to be a ‘humanitarian issue’.
Its very harsh but its very noticeable for example among black women that theres a large degree of a ‘black pride’ and insecurity about not being desired. The illogical response isn’t to pretend they are amazing hot and censor anyone that disagrees. A civilised white woman usually has the tact not to make an issue of it anyway or gloat. Its pretty clear there is gender dimorphism in blacks, just like the opposite in east asians.
When you read the writings of those old colonial British empire types, you can see that subject peoples in India or Africa or wherever don’t really talk about these ‘fundamental’ differences. Local people didn’t wander around Bombay or Singapore cursing sky god for not making them more taller, empathetic, innovative like whites etc etc.
Once you start letting these psychopath cult people start talking about short people being just as tall as tall people you get these twilight zone outcomes. The original problem was listening to these charlatans. They say it to get money, women and followers, not to actually improve these peoples health or lives.
This obviously does not mean countries shouldn’t aim to be ‘more civilised/modern’ i.e. white, like Japan did or other nations now.
If you’re short I don’t see a problem with wearing lifts. If youre stick thin, you can hit the gym etc.
I think there is a degree of plasticity in most people to become somewhat smarter, stronger and so on. Black women can get more attractive using pretty obvious methods. Youre not a prisoner of your genes. I don’t think the game is that bleak.
But in some particular cases like hereditary diseases, down syndrome, and such you can see the more extreme examples of why evolution is more like conan the barbarian than Mary Poppins.
So Im national socialist in the social sense that some tribes/races are different to others and superior/inferior in an evolutionary sense. But the reasons can be pretty arbitrary like the spanish colonists killing off 3/4 of the meso american population just be carrying smallpox across the atlantic. If you accept Diamond is right, that the difference between IQ is based on whether herdable animals were present in the environment and such, you can relax and be at ease as its kind of arbitrary and not to be taken too seriously.
If you’re short I don’t see a problem with wearing lifts.
now we all know that i am the only male/XY commenter.
this is sad.
Watch this video on YouTube.
Those peasents in India seeing the East India Company knew the whites were more advanced. This is something to do with a particular Indian cultural preference for whiter skin, but the difference in technology and attire was pretty stark. I never met an indian that was agitated about not being as tall/smart/handsome/strong etc as another group. East asians don’t care much for identity politics either.
So the jews must rattle the cage of the monster in the basement to get momentum he needs for social change.
Thank you MLK.
Sailers observation that most of the black social justice actvists are mixed race or homosexual blacks tells you these people have certain identity issues and grievances that they use race politics as a facade for.
” I have never met an indian that was agitated about not being as tall/smart/handsome/strong etc as another group. “”
I am an Indian. But I never felt like that. Though I actually used to wish I was a bit more physically strong er as I used to get beaten up by a couple of classmates when I was a kid.
But I also feel proud that I am an Indian. As I feel we are among the smartest in the world in terms of genetic potential.

What part of india do you come from?
interestinng that you call yourself indian, do you identify as Indian or only said it to awnser his comment. I find india interesting as it might give insight into how to create an unified Europe one day. Most white ethnics tend to get along fine in Europe, unless they are from the balkans.
Smartest in the world? Are you Brahmin? Don’t Brahmins have a theoretical IQ of 110? That’s still less than Jews at 112-115. Though perhaps you mean in terms of an IQ facet – I do wonder what is the Indian IQ proportion, whether they’re strong verbally or performance-wise.
I am an indian.
Billy, that is the average iq of the group. And ofcourse it is less than jews. I said ‘among the smartest’ not ‘smartest’.
Also I didnt know he was a brahmin. But the thing is its not brahmins alone.

“Explain..”
Id say theres and correlation between latitudes away from the equator and the lack roundness of the eye (within the old and new world, not between them). Having congolese being the most round eyed population, and mongolians have the most elongated eyes. The wierdness factor is subjective to culture, so im just saying that you guys look different from others. People in northern Eurasia tend to prefer more elongated eyes. But with an globalizing world, maybe cultural differences like these will change in the future.
Regarding the link I posted, I forgot to say, those scores could be ratio IQ scores. Probably their scores would fall in adulthood. But even if they fall to something like say 110, it is still a big deal for all those kids as they can barely afford to eat three times a day.
”I never met an indian that was agitated about not being as tall/smart/handsome/strong etc as another group. East asians don’t care much for identity politics either.”
Hahaha. They are trying to fool you. Or its survivor bias on your part.
Small penis. Wierd eyes. But realy they rarely campare to Whites, but the standards other compatriots lay, which was influenced by Jews. You find many Whites and Africans on the billboards of Tokyo, for example.
I think Jimmy´s interpretation of ”hbd” is the most reasonable one, becuase its standard of evidence is so hard to falsify, yet possible to falsify.
”Weird eyes”?
Explain..
But we have been told that we have one of the largest penises, controlling for body size and height/muscle mass/strength.
It’s funny because it seems most Indians I’ve encountered just accept on face value that certain races are better than others, the more highly-educated are better than the less-highly educated, and the wealthy are better than the poor (and they all have a fetish for white skin).they’re very status-obsessed. They don’t admit it but they often make comments that suggest as much. And lower caste Indians are just as much this way as upper caste ones.
Thus Indians generally aren’t SJWs, although I’ve met a few from elite universities who were. And Gandhi was arguably the greatest SJWs of all time, although we now know he may not have been completely sincere in his beliefs that everyone is equal.
Gandhi despsied Blacks and in South Africa, he only fought for the Indians, not the Blacks. He tried to keep the movement seperate from that of the blacks
I know that it’s not really related to the topic of this post, but I’ve wondered for a while what Josip Broz’s IQ was (if for no other reason than the plenitude of contradictory indicators). He only attended four years of school, but knew between four and nine languages as an adult — records are somewhat unclear, but it is well documented that he at least spoke Serbo-Croatian, Russian, German, and English, as well as possibly Czech, Slovenian, French, Italian, and Kyrgyz. Although his parents were simple peasants, several of his contemporary descendants (via multiple wives) have achieved moderate success in professions that require a certain degree of verbal intelligence. Finally, his political attainment at the end of his life (extrapolating from the 1981 Yugoslav census) corresponds to a z-score of about +5.346 relative to the Yugoslav mean.
All of this is assuming, of course, that he was not impersonated by a Soviet agent as per the commonly-cited, but rather dubious, conspiracy theory.
What is considered a high IQ?
Above 110
What is considered a high anything? its relative. Most people would say an high iq is 1 SD above the mean, others like former commenter Fenoopy would say 125+ IQ
A common definition is above 110 according to some IQ charts mostly in some psychology books and 115 according to other charts.
