The Smartest Countries in 2022 + Top 10 in Jewelry Artistry
A recent study showed which are the "smartest" countries in the world in 2022, where people have the highest IQ level.
Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is a measure of human intelligence. It is determined by taking a standardized test that includes puzzles, completing a series of pictures, and identifying logical structures in a set of items.
After several people took the test, a generalized ranking of the 70 "smartest" countries in the world in 2022 was made.
On average, people have an IQ of 90-110, considered average. If a person has an IQ above 120, they are called "highly intelligent", and if they have over 130, they are considered cognitively gifted.
At the other extreme are people who do not exceed an IQ level of 75-80, also considered "borderline intellect", and if a person gets less than 70 they are cognitively retarded.
Below you will discover which are the "smartest" countries in the world in 2022, in ascending order.
At the top is, of course, Japan, considered the smartest country in the world in 2022, followed by Taiwan and Singapore.
