Fifteen Measly IQ Points
From Jewish Info dot Org: and The Canadian Jewish News
Ashkenazi Jews have an extremely high avg IQ of around 115 or 1 Standard Deviation (15 points) above Western White persons. This means they are going to be extremely overrepresented on the far right exclusive end of the bell curve.
(I have made mention many times the plight of black populations with median IQ of 85 and even lower in Africa. They are 1.1 Standard Deviations lower than the White population and represent the extreme left of the bell curve. Fifteen IQ points doesn't sound like much, but it's HUGE.)
Globally, Jews represent less than 0.20% of the world’s population, but they have won 170 Nobel Prizes in total and the following shares of individual Nobel prizes from Wikipedia:
Economics: 41% (more than 205 times their share of the population)
Medicine: 28% (more than 140 times their share of the population)
Physics: 26% (more than 130 times their share of the population)
Chemistry: 19% (more than 95 times their share of the population)
Literature: 13% (more than 65 times their share of the population)
Peace: 9% (more than 45 times their share of the population)
From David Brooks of the NYT:
"Jews are a famously accomplished group. They make up 0.2 percent of the world population, but 54 percent of the world chess champions, 27 percent of the Nobel physics laureates and 31 percent of the medicine laureates. Jews make up 2 percent of the U.S. population, but 21 percent of the Ivy League student bodies, 26 percent of the Kennedy Center honorees, 37 percent of the Academy Award-winning directors, 38 percent of those on a recent Business Week list of leading philanthropists, 51 percent of the Pulitzer Prize winners for nonfiction."
Charles Murray notes,“New York City’s public-school system used to administer a pencil-and-paper IQ test to its entire school population. In 1954, a psychologist used those test results to identify all 28 children in the New York public-school system with measured IQ’s of 170 or higher. Of those 28, 24 were Jews.”
