Is this really true though? Afterall countries do bring in a lot of immigrants for other reasons...

where is your data?

If you are a research clearly you should be able to make a good arguement based on full numbers.

Also.  I would argue that college education correlates just about as well with education as IQ does.  There are a lot of people with college educations who are idiots.

College rarely changes how people think.  It just teaches them more information.  Which may or may not have real world applications.

Intellegence after all is quite a strange difficult thing to quantify.

Page 17. Outside of family being pulled in, people with abilities are next. Also note further down that to qualify as a Diversity immigrant, you must have at least graduate from high-school, or an equivalent from their country.

Edit: ALso about the family relatives thing. My dad got in based on the alien with exceptional abilites, rest of our family got in as his family and counted towardss the relatives, apparently. Generally smart people also marry smart women and have smart children, just a atrend I've noticed tbh.

I'm still not even seeing how your quantify intellegence.

Beleive it or not... IQ actually correlates better with reasoning skills then education.

The MANY different kinds of education is the second largest.  This I already knew.  However there are many levels of schooling tied with it and many factors.
