Hello, I would like to ask about the line "Nepal has consistently been ranked as the country with the lowest IQ in the world." under the Education tab. This statement has three citations, all of them basing their findings on the World Population Review, which in turn bases its findings on "The Intelligence of Nations" by Lynn and Baker. The findings in this book primarily comes from published surveys in Buckley et al., 2013; Christian et al., 2010; Jamison & Lockheed, 1985; Jamison & Moock, 1984. All of these research surveys were done in extremely rural areas around 30 years ago. Just the length of time already makes this result completely unusable, but assigning tests done in rural areas to the entire population is an undeniable case of sampling bias. In fact, in the published work, they mention that they did not add any urban samples because they did not have any.
I've removed it. In addition to your points, and even if we should be writing about IQ, one of your linked sources directly says "The unweighted national IQ of Nepal is 42.79, which is very implausible", and quite. CMD (talk) 03:11, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The name of current chief justice of Nepal is incorrectly written as (Chief Justice Bishowambhar Prasad Shrestha). The correct name is Prakash Man Singh Raut. Altaltor (talk) 02:18, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
