People in the Middle East do not have a higher IQ than white people. Sorry, but only East Asians have a higher measurable IQ than white Europeans or white Americans. The average IQ in America is around 100 or about 99 because America is not 100% white. Non-white Americans drag down the average IQ of Americans.
If you were to assess the IQ of predominately white states like Maine or Iowa you would find it was probably around 103. Still lower than the average IQ in East Asia of about 105.
Given that many people in the Middle East do you have higher incomes, if their IQs were truly higher you will find a great majority of researchers and professors at schools like MIT or Caltech being of Middle Eastern birth. Instead you find that a large percentage of researchers and professors at those universities are of East Asian birth.
And yes I am an ex-Mensa member who has read several books on intelligence.
Finally, I find it sad that we don’t have very many objective tests of creativity which is an incredibly important human ability which we often overlook.
One of Einstein's quotes I like is on creativity, which I assume you're well versed in.
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
I've heard claims of white Europeans being more creative than others, but I presume its more complex than looking at who did what and when. That being said, I personally enjoy the creativity and imagination of all races. We can all learn something from each other and by doing so, reach greater heights.
