Somali Americans in Washington had an iq of 91 I believe. There is probably a selection bias there so average Somali iq is probably between 85-95

Can I see a source for this? I think the average iq of a Somali depends on the country they live in and their upbringing, back home is different I lived there for a bit, no one I spoke to was intellectually lacking, they were just less educated due to the situation in Somalia, I think the average iq of a Somali back home is around 90 the ones in the west is around 100.

I don’t have it off hand, I’ll probably make a thread once I find it again I’ll tag you, I’ll do it sometime this week. Also there are many low iq countries in Africa that can still function relatively well even if they have iqs in the mental retardation range. But the average iq back home is certainly not around 90, iq can reliably predict a lot of outcomes in life like income and even life expectancy aswell as many other things, if Somalis back home had an iq that high the country would not be in its current state.

90 or not the average Somali back home is not retarded, I went to Somalia and I interacted with the locals they were just your sweet average person, Somalia is a shithole mainly because of this corrupt government, if they actually tried to develop the country, we wouldn’t be poor.

Smart people are competent. Competent people are not always smart or creative. That's how I see IQ.

the average age in somalia is 15 so the average person/new generation hasn't been tested their probably alot smarter
 
also iq imo has nothing to do with intelligence alot of it is math and recognising shapes etc even if your not malnourished if you never went to school seen that before you won't know that doesn't mean your not far from animals

Fob somalis outperform diaspora when they come to the west. They are more successful and open up businesses. Whats with this notion of low iq dont trust everything a gaal cadaan says
