The people who "make Somalis appear as geniuses" - now they fly to Sweden en masse Published January 17, 2021 at 9:26 p.m. DOMESTI
South Sudanese perform IQ-wise at about the same level as bushmans and pygmies - the peoples with the lowest intelligence in the world - new research shows. Previously, very few South Sudanese have come to Sweden, but now the Swedish Migration Board has started bringing them here in large numbers as "quota refugees"
A research group including the renowned psychologist Richard Lynn has examined the IQ level of 2,990 South Sudanese children between the ages of seven and 17. The type of IQ test used was Raven's matrices, the same type of IQ test that Mensa uses, for example. The research report shows that the researchers compared the results of the South Sudanese with the results from tests of British children in 1979 and 2007. Barely measurable IQ below 55 The British children performed slightly better in 2007 than in 1979. But regardless of which British vintage the South Sudanese are compared to, the IQ of the African people was so low that it can not really be measured with the current type of tes
The researchers are therefore content to conclude that South Sudanese of all tested ages from nine years and up had an IQ of less than 55. To illustrate the results, the researchers write that South Sudanese eighteen-year-olds perform worse than British nine-year-olds. An average eighteen-year-old South Sudanese has lower intelligence than three out of four British nine-year-olds. The eighteen-year-old South Sudanese, however, perform slightly better than British seven-year-olds. The researchers believe that the South Sudanese perform roughly on a par with the Bushmen, who are considered to have an IQ of 55. However, they are slightly worse than African pygmies with an IQ of 57
The children tested belong to the ethnic groups "shilluk" and "nuer", which, like the population of South Sudan in general, belong to the Nilotic peoples. In folklore, Somalis are usually considered to be the most low-intelligent people that Sweden has become acquainted with so far. However, research clearly shows that Somalis are significantly smarter than the Bushman-like South Sudanese. A tipper who himself has worked with peoples in Africa tells Fria Tider that South Sudanese make Somalis "appear like geniuses". The low result when testing South Sudanese has led other researchers to question whether to use Rave's progressive matrices. Because South Sudan is so underdeveloped, more suitable IQ tests need to be developed for South Sudanese, the researchers say. This year, Australian researchers developed an IQ test with, among other things, kangaroo questions that were hoped to give Aborigines better test results. New immigrant group in Sweden Previously, South Sudanese have constituted a very small ethnic group in Sweden. In recent years, however, the Swedish Migration Agency has decided to invest in issuing residence permits to members of the population who can then be flown to Sweden to live here as "quota refugees". In 2020, 274 people from South Sudan received a residence permit on this basis and in 2019 there were 223.

I HAVE NOTHING TO ADD HERE.
