Albania is last in Europe for the Intelligence Quotient (IQ), due to the poor level of education

Erroneous myths have been raised that are spread by the Albanians themselves, through which it is claimed that the origin of almost every European or even world civilization has its origins in our ancestry and past. As it is, the Albanian language is interpreted as a "divine language" and it is claimed that it is the language from which all other European languages are derived.
The thesis is claimed and spread that many leaders or famous people, in the world, are of Albanian origin, while prominent figures, with first and last names and with a great history, who fought and sacrificed for our freedom and our nation, are forgotten.
Likewise, there are also myths circulating that Albanians are better able to learn other languages compared to other European citizens, are excellent in mathematics, or even in "science", when in fact no Albanian has ever won a Nobel Prize. .
According to IQ, Albania is the last and Finland the first in Europe
According to a more recent assessment, the Finns are the country with the highest IQ in Europe and the Albanians with the lowest IQ. IQ, or intelligence quotient, is a measure of your ability to reason and solve problems. IQ reflects how well students can perform on a specific test compared to other students in their age group. While tests may vary, the average IQ on many tests is 100.
When talking about IQ, it is important to understand that IQ does not measure "born" or "genetic" intelligence, as such is a complete misconception. A trained brain is able to solve problems much faster and more accurately than an untrained brain, so the quality of education greatly affects IQ scores.
A country's low IQ is indicative of the low quality of education, not the low level of "innate intelligence" of the population. And the claims of the myths that say that our ancestors are at the origin of the development of world civilization shows precisely the low level of education of the Albanians.
And while the quality and accessibility of education has improved for many decades, while the average in developed countries still remains around 100, the data and analyzes of each year show that Albania is last in Europe.
"For example, a person with an IQ of 82 (Albania's value on the map), would have had an above-average IQ by the standards of the 1950s. This shows that Albania's education system is lagging behind most other European countries, but not that Albanians are in any way inherently less intelligent than other Europeans," says Lynn & Vanhanen's explanation of the data.
The authors of the intelligence measure used not only the IQ measures available for each country, but also, to a large extent, various standardized student assessments (TIMSS, PISA) and known correlations between IQ and academic achievement. Like that.
This makes the average IQ of the most developed countries close to 100, which seems quite natural from a European and North American development and perspective. If the literal definition had been used (where the overall average, including participants from third world countries, is set at 100), many European countries would score above 110. As the map shows, Serbia with the estimated IQ in 90, North Macedonia 91, Greece 93, as well as Croatia, Montenegro 86, Albania has lost the race with all the countries of the region.
According to the IQ study, although with European aspirations, unfortunately it seems as if our country is not in Europe. According to a 2019 study by researchers Richard Lynn and David Becker at the Ulster Institute, the highest average IQ scores in the world belong to the Japanese, followed by citizens of Taiwan and Singapore. In the "Top 10" list, the countries with developed education and economy lead.
