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.

 

Inteligence isn't quantifyable, you only display it when you are learning and applying what you have learned. I don't know what the fuck the IQ test measure, but it sure as fuck isn't intelligence. If someone can gain 35 intelligence, from a well above average IQ to a fucking genius then the test is absolutely useless. In fact the ONLY reason the IQ test exists is to segregate black and white back in WWI. Intelligence is not something one gains or loses, ever.

However to aswer your question, intelligence is useless itself without any wisdom, and if you aren't educated it doesn't matter if you are the most intelligent person on earth, you are still just a fcuking idiot. It all comes down to knowledge, it just so happens knowledge is more easily gained and far better at applied when someone is intelligent.
