Would it be too hypothetical to argue that the inability to do no better
than seventh-grade math at age seventeen argues for an individual IQ
somewhat below 100? On the recent international test of
thirteen-year-olds noted in Chapter 5, in which mainland Chinese
students were scoring 80 on seventh-grade math tests compared to the
U.S. 55, and given these often rural Chinese were scoring at about 101
IQ even with an as yet undeveloped educational system, the above
estimate for an average U.S. intelligence may not be far off the mark.
