Italians are very smart. The idea of comparing the average IQs of single nations is so obvious that people keep doing it even though the intellectual etiquette of the moment - "political correctness" - considers speaking of the results to be highly inelegant.
Italy though does extremely well in the ranking, coming out at fourth place in the entire world. It is the single most "intelligent" Western country and is preceded in terms of its average IQ rating only by three Asian nations: Singapore in first place, then South Korea and Japan. The United Kingdom is in 7th place - as is China - Germany is 8th and France ties for 9th place with the United State. Russia comes in 10th.
