After China and the U.S., the country with the highest over 125 IQ population appears to be Japan (also the second most populous rich country). The question is, does India, the world's third largest economy by PPP, have a greater >125 IQ population than Japan? India's average IQ has variously been estimated from the high 70s to the low 80s, so assuming a standard deviation within third word norms, this seems unlikely (remember, Brazil has a smaller >125 IQ population than Hong Kong). However, it seems to be agreed by all India's standard deviation of IQ is above third world norms. Will it ever be confirmed India has a greater >125 IQ population than Japan?
