In general, the list, which has been prepared and examined by the discount website Vouchercloud is strongly dominated by countries from Asia and Europe, but Japan takes first place while the Scandinavian countries place middle to end of the smartest nations on the planet.
The list is ranked based on three things and quantifies intelligence to include how many Nobel Prizes a country has received looking at the population size to represent historical intelligence. Next, the current average national IQ, as well as countries’ school results, represent the potential intelligence of the next generation.
