The "regional IQs" in that first chart are anything but.there is only one region listed. The rest are not only just cities but cities with major academic, medical, governmental and cultural institutions which attract and retain the smartest people in the country (and their offspring). It's like comparing the city of Boston with the whole State of Louisiana. The other chart is also skewed because of the massive brain drain that occurs in poor Regions like Calabria, Sicily, Basilicata, etc. The smartest ones move north, further boosting the average IQs of those regions while leaving the regions they left behind depressed. Of all the people I went to middle school and high school in Puglia, with few exceptions the smartest ones left long ago. Usually for university. Sometimes after. They all live in places like Rome, Milan, Bologna, Padova and surroundings, etc, started families there and are never moving back. |
