The intelligence quotient, or IQ, as it is commonly known, offers a way to measure human cognitive abilities in relation to age groups. Although IQ is not a thorough assessment of an individual's mental capabilities or potential, it does provide an intriguing insight into intellectual abilities on a national scale. To evaluate the intelligence of countries, experts typically use average national IQ scores. It is important to note that these scores are not fixed; they are influenced by a range of factors, including education systems, socio-economic conditions, and even nutritional factors.

From the extensive public data available on average national IQs, we embark on an enlightening journey around the world, exploring regions that lead in rankings and those that perform relatively poorly.
