In light of all the conflict in the Middle East, I thought now would be a good time to estimate the IQ of As’ad Abukhalil, better known as The Angry Arab. I first saw this guy on TV in 2001 shortly after the September 11th attacks and was blown away because (1) he was the only anti-war voice I had seen on a major U.S. network at the time (other than Oprah) (2) he was one of the most verbally skilled people I had ever witnessed in my entire life.
His verbal acumen was all the more striking because so many of the Arabs I had seen on U.S. media did such a poor job expressing themselves, which made sense because (1) academic achievement is lower in the Arab world (2) for many, English is a foreign language, and (3) the neocon U.S. media likely denied high IQ Arabs a platform because they feared losing control of the narrative.
According to Richard Lynn, on a scale where white Americans average an IQ of 100 (SD 15), the Arab World averages 84. While this figure likely approaches 90 when you correct for the poorer living standards in the Middle East, it is substantially lower than the average American Jew (IQ 110) and far lower than Ivy league Jewish media elites like Bill Maher (which I estimate to be about 140)
And yet, the Angry Arab appears to be two standard deviations higher than even the brilliant Maher:
The angry Arab displayed not only logic and fluency, but advanced working memory, unleashing high speed well organized complex sentences.
He also showed quick wit. When presumably asked by another guest why he doesn’t leave America if he hates it so much he apparently shot back: “I like chicken McNuggets” prompting Maher to admit “Professor you’re a brilliant man, you took on everyone …they’re probably the smartest ethnic group. I don’t agree with them, but I’ve never met a dumb one”
And lest one think this was a one-off, Bill Maher is not the only Ivy League Jewish media elite the Angry Arab has verbally obliterated. The below videos show him skillfully dominating New York Times columnist Bret Stephen.
So what is his IQ? Well he’s certainly head and shoulders above Stephens and even Maher at debating, at least on Middle East issues, so he’s likely well above 140. On the other hand, if the average Arab has a true IQ around 90 with an SD of say 15, and there are 423 million Arabs, the smartest one should be 178.
So I can safely say his IQ is somewhere between 140 and 178; let’s split the difference and say 159 (extreme Genius level)

That woman in the thumbnail looks like Danny DeVito!
Why do you give such extreme IQs to people who do well on talk shows. Most of the nerds and really high IQ people I’ve met are not great at all at talking. If Muhammed Ali, is better verbally than this guy and Bill Maher are you going to tell me he has a 190 IQ? [redacted by pp, 2021-05-31]
Because talking is the most human thing we do and listening to someone talk reveals many cognitive functions: working memory capacity (grammatical complexity), working memory speed (talking speed), verbal fluency, thought organization,, general knowledge, vocabulary, wit, etc. Of course it’s also confounded with personality traits like extraversion and confidence so some high IQ people are poor talkers and some low IQ people are good talkers, but Ali did not display grammatical complexity, thought organization or knowledge when he spoke.
it’s not that they’re bad at talking. it’s that they’re good at talking, but [redacted by pp, may 31, 2021] confuse glibness and diarrhea of the mouth with intelligence.
mexicans and brailians never stop talking…about nothing.
all this guy has shown is he’s an expert on the subjects he talks about. duh! he’s a professor of political science, but at a shitty school.
Bill Maher’s debated hundreds of experts and none of them have been so verbally dexterous. He’s probably at a crappy school because he’s unwilling to play the game.
now peepee is repeating what i’ve said a jillion times after saying what i said was stupid.
in december a jew will play for the world chess chamionship supposedly. for the first time since fischer or botvinnik.
korchnoi and kasparov were mischlinge and kasparov’s father was the jewish one. he has no affinity for his jewishness supposedly.
it’s interesting how alekhine and boglubov played twice for the world chamionship immediately prior to soviet hegemony. but before those two the ruskies weren’t especially good chess players. they were emigres from bolshevik russia.
Bill misusing facetious. IQ deduction!
Just finished first series of vids. I mean, he’s in his wheelhouse and made some good points. Obviously a sharp guy, but 2 SDs above Maher? I wasn’t blown away by his abilities. That doesn’t mean he isn’t brilliant, though, and it’s impressive that he could hold his own with his English presumably being weaker than his Arabic.
Of course he had an unfair advantage being a middle east expert, so subtracting for that, maybe 1 SD higher than Maher
I’d put him in the same ballpark as Taleb. I just scrolled through this guy’s twitter account and there are a lot of similarities in how the two express themselves. They’re both constantly angry and seem to care more about “winning” than getting it exactly right. Their sentences are very crisp.
I’ll bet he has a 2+ SD VIQ>PIQ split. Taleb has the opposite.
Why is Taleb considered intelligent?
Mainly because he wrote a book 15 years ago that everyone pretends to like. It gave people something to hang their hat on re the financial crisis so it got endless praise. The Big Short was well received for the same reason.
I still think he’s very bright, just for different reasons.
What cognitive traits are not tested by intelligence quotient tests? How are IQ tests limited in assessing te full capacity of thought?
PP, do you think the WAIS should reintroduce the Verbal-Performance split?
Only if they get rid of subtests like matrix reasoning & figure weights which don’t belong in performance IQ
Why, because they don’t involve hand coordination?
No picture completion doesn’t require motor ability either and that’s clearly a performance test. I just think those subtests dilute the performance IQ; people with huge gaps between verbal and performance would see those gaps diminish if matrix and figure weights are counted as performance subtests. Perhaps it’s because the traditional performance tests are more right-brain and spatial than matrix or figure weights
What is the performance IQ of this baby? Could see him inventing teleportation in adulthood
Eh, he’ll probably regress to the mean
Arabs are not a uniform group. This guy’s wiki bio says he’s Lebanese, who likely possess a significantly higher baseline genotypic IQ. Their history supports this as well, Lebanese are 90% descended from Phoenicians of yore.
Furthermore the main factor depressing IQs in the Arab world probably isn’t lower living standards, but rather repeated consanguineous marriages.
inbreeding combined with warm climate likely caused their genetic IQ to be only 90 but malnutrition/poor education lowered their phenotypic IQ to 84
Well if IQ influences speaking ability to the degree you think it does then dykes like Mug of Pee would have the highest IQ.
So youre banning everything I say now?
You’re not smart enough to be here
What kind of grades did you get in english?
I got great grades in English. My 6th grade English teacher told the class he wished he could write as well as I could (hard to believe but true). My 10th grade English teacher worshipped me and gave me 104% on my book report for George Orwell’s 1984. My 11th grade English teacher told me I could really go places after I blew her away by doing a genetic cross chart on Duddy Kravitz. I was always the only kid in the class who could correctly answer questions like “why do we study Greek mythology?” and “why was the retardate in ‘Of Mice and Men’ so big?”
Only when I attended a high school with a gifted program in my senior year did I meet kids better than me at English.
I am the best in English on this blog but Im American lol.
peepee went to hs in a shithole country pill. this is why she hasn’t learned God’s own language yet. sad. however she is fluent in 9 dialects of shithole.
christopher hitchens and paul theroux. but in general his guests suck.

RIP Lil Loaded.
Apparently a suicide. Backs suffer the highest levels of PTSD and anxiety for sure.
This actually has more melody than most modern rap songs so thats a plus. He looks about 15.
He was 20 at the age of death he started making hit singles around the age of seventeen so youre not far off.
Puppy I’m here to tell you the truth. If you don’t like it go somewhere else.
Ugh. I can’t bear to watch that stupid panel. I HATE debates. Only got through the first two and then read his Wikipedia page.
From what I watched, I don’t think anybody on that show is above 135. Angry Arab is the smartest though.
Also, watched the last Mare episode last night. OMG I cried, what a BEAUTIFUL ending!
I have them all recorded. Can’t wait to marathon it.
I have them all recorded. Can’t wait to masturbate to them. Maybe I’ll leanr English too. Sad.
Enjoy, PP! Some of my horror-inclined friends were comparing it to Silence of the Lambs.
Mugabe, you should watch Mare, it’s GREAT!
I am completely convinced these people are not flukes and are being bred by these governments in covert operations to increase their political power. Similar to how China bred Yao Ming to be tall by selecting the tallest man and woman they could find, I think these governments are doing the same thing with mental abilities like math, verbal and abstract ability.
Ethic boards are largely absent or only for appearances in many of these non-Western countries. If my suspicion is true then in the coming decades these countries will have an unprecedented advantage and America will have fallen to the wayside.
How do you explain my existence?
A carefully orchestrated plan was hatched to find two of the most socially inept people in this country via census data. Then, because normal copulation was almost impossible they extracted the genes by forced ejaculation and dumped it in the woman’s womb. Nine months later, here you are for us to laugh at.
Fuck you bitch. You wish you would be half of what I am. Motherfuck.
New white house press sec is growing on me. At first I didn’t think she was hot. Anyways, Tom Cotton is right, universities should be taxed more if they want to teach bullshit like the 1619 project or whatever numbnuts jewish psychological warfare passes for journalism at the New Yiddish Times.
This is the kind of shit Puppy likes reading about.
“The country’s true origin”. AHAHAHAHAHAHA WTF LOL. I don’t even think RR believes that.
“No aspect of the country that would be formed here has been untouched by the years of slavery that followed.”
This is true, but also not specific to slavery
I think a project like this tells you a lot about the aesthetic of American politics. Other countries would fix these problems. We argue about which spin on history we should teach our kids.
Playing Mafia 3 and the main character you control is…a black dude. So they make a mafia game with a black protagonist set in 60s New Orleans just to make points about racism. What a complete clusterfuck of a game right? Well, its actually a good game, mechanics wise. Its basically GTA set in the 60s if you can tolerate the preaching.
Verbal fluency is some entirely different entity than what IQ is measuring at least from observation.
peepee also lies about mongoloids because she can’t admit to herself that south asians are half negrito/abo/indus valley mud people.
europeans, n chinese, koreans, japanese belong to a eurasian clade of humanity. sadly, filipinos don’t.
“thou shalt not kill…unless it’s a canaanite or a goy’s mind”, sayeth the lord.

Jordan Peterson claims an official IQ of 155.
Are they comparable?
Peterson demonstrates comparable ability to blow away opponents in debates
The only claim I’ve seen from Peterson about his own IQ was “somewhere north of 150,” and he clarified that the 150+ was specifically verbal, while he’s not so talented at performance. >150 verbal concords with being a top academic in his field of neuropsychology.
Being mostly right makes one look brighter. He sometimes switches arrow adjective and substantive (« a change in atmospheric is not equivalent to a change in substance »). I would put him around 125.
His two witty answers – you can’t talk about Al Jazeera if you don’t speak Arabic (English version is mid 2000) repeated twice and I would stay in America because I like chicken McNuggets – are creative but probably prepared in advance because he gets the same remarks all time (as he acknowledged).
The anchor says he is brilliant but as any other Arab in the USA and he has never met a dumb one, so that sounds more marketing after being accused of being anti-muslim several times.
