• Educating the Developing Mind: Towards an Overarching Paradigm (2011, background): “…findings may explain, at least in part, the fact that eastern nations (i.e., Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese), who use logographic systems of writing (average IQ in the range 105–108), outperform western nations (average IQ in the range 90–100) in measures of intelligence (Lynn and Vanhanen 2006).”
• In Italy, north–south differences in IQ predict differences in income, education, infant mortality, stature, and literacy (2010, background): “At a third level of generality, positive correlations between IQ and per capita income have been reported across nations at a magnitude of approximately 0.7 (Lynn & Vanhanen, 2002, 2006).”
• Relevance of education and intelligence for the political development of nations: Democracy, rule of law and political liberty (2008, unknown): “Intelligence is a well-known determinant of economic outcomes, both at the individual level (e.g. Gottfredson, 2003; Hunter, 1986) and at the country level (e.g. Hanushek & Kimko, 2000; Lynn & Vanhanen, 2002, 2006).”
• The g‐factor of international cognitive ability comparisons: the homogeneity of results in PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS and IQ‐tests across nations (2007, background): “Correlations of different test scores (within countries) across countries were very high (r¼ .92–.95; Lynn & Vanhanen, 2006, p. 62).”
• Relevance of education and intelligence at the national level for the economic welfare of people (2008, methodology): “Student assessment studies were given twice the weight of the Lynn and Vanhanen (2006) IQ collection because they are more recent, have larger samples, and consist of more studies.”
• National IQs calculated and validated for 108 nations (2010, background): “This analysis was extended in a second study in which Lynn and Vanhanen (2006) gave measured IQs for 113 nations and estimated IQs for a further 79 nations, giving a total of 192 nations, comprising all the nations in the world with populations over 40,000.”
• Temperature and evolutionary novelty as forces behind the evolution of general intelligence (2008, unknown): “…of .95 for national IQ and of .83 for test scores produces a corrected correlation of 1.0 between national IQ and educational achievement (Lynn & Vanhanen, 2006, (2006) measures for seasonal highs and lows, Lynn and Vanhanen's is an annual (January–December) mean temperature (in degrees…”
• Raven’s test performance of sub-Saharan Africans: average performance, psychometric properties, and the Flynn Effect (2010, background): “Whenever we refer to " Lynn (and Vanhanen) " in this paper, we refer to Lynn and Vanhanen (2002, 2006) and to Lynn (2006), because the literature reviews in these three books overlap strongly.”
• Variation in Raven's Progressive Matrices scores across time and place (2009, unknown): “This pattern of results suggests a more complex relationship between intelligence and wealth at country level than suggested by Lynn and Vanhanen (2002, 2006) and shows that explaining this relationship requires much caution (Hunt & Wittmann, 2008).”
• Intelligence and corruption (2012, methodology): “I have replaced the IQ data by Lynn and Vanhanen (2006) by the IQ data by Lynn and Vanhanen (2002) and Lynn and Meisenberg (2010).”
