Average Students need not apply. Swiss High Schools admit only brightest 20%

80% of Swiss secondary Students do not qualify for Gymnasium (High School). Only the top 20% with highest IQ pass stringent selection, testing and a half year High School trial period.  Swiss High Schools proudly restrict High School to those students considered a worthy investment for University study.

Schweizer BildungssystemSwiss IQ researcher worries that 1/3 of High School students have IQ of under 112.5 and should be at the High School. Switzerland expects a return on the high investment of schooling students up to University Graduation. To say it very Un-PC:

Swiss proudly restrict High School to top 20%,
(top 18% in Zürich)
keep dumb students out of High School and College

Those 80% deemed unfit to successfully finish demanding Universities are steered towards “lesser” schools,  a 3-4 year apprenticeship (Berufslehre) and possibly professional colleges. Swiss salaries are among the highest in the world, and Swiss have a highly qualified work force.

1/3 of High School Students too Dumb for High School [German][English Translation]

“In Switzerland some kids in High School don’t belong there because they have only average Intelligence”, says IQ researcher Elsbeth Stern in the “Tages-Anzeiger”. She has tested the IQ at several high schools and calculated that many students do not reach the theoretical minimum IQ of 112.6.

More than a third of the students flunked the test. “You have to look carefully, who goes on the academic track,” says Stern.  “For he who seeks an academic career later, later will have problems.”

Successful Silicon Valley Business Model under attack by feminist women

Very intelligent people arguing about women needing to force their way into Google, facebook, etc. Is it not disgusting how women are prevented from making inventions, from changing the world. /sarcasm

Occam’s razor fell out of fashion. If white heterosexual men create the most innovative companies in the world, create untold wealth, and change the world: maybe they just have a special talent.   Maybe the richest companies in the world became rich because they did things right, not because they did everything wrong.

The following video is so appalling, it is worth watching, to understand the dangerous, deceptive, warped logic that is taking over the world.

 

Is Silicon Valley Toxic to Women?

READ THE RELATED STORY | not endorsed by Human Stupidity:

The case comes at a particularly sensitive time for the booming technology industry, which has been criticized for being insensitive or hostile to women.

Seems men can take the insensitivity, and the most competitive still thrive and make world changing inventions. A few women also can make it, without quota.

Others want to demand that men change to fit those in that otherwise could not make it on their own

IQ tests prohibited for job requirement, mandatory at death row

 

INTELLIGENT TESTING 
America’s elite, normally so dismissive of IQ, found themselves having to consider                                                                                                      and publicly in the US Supreme Court (from March 3) a case brought forward from Florida to the effect that IQ  80, not 70, should be the cut-off point for deciding mental defect in criminal cases (Nature, 20 ii). Chris Brand

At issue here is PC (political correctness). Whenever IQ disadvantages Blacks, it is prohibited. While a cutoff at IQ 70 exempts 2 of Whites, it exempts 30% of Blacks. While it inches closer to 85, the Black average, it gets closer to exclude half of Blacks from responsibility.

Scoring low on purpose

bellcurve

It is very easy to run a race slower then one’s slowest speed, or to do bad on a test in school, on purpose. So scoring low on an IQ test is very easy.  2 3

An IQ score can dramatically misjudge intelligence, depending on how motivated the person is when taking the IQ test, scientists discovered.

Academic performance, level of education, job performance, criminal record and even physical health and longevity are often linked to the person’s intelligence quotient, or IQ score, which tends to suggest intelligence is primarily responsible for all these outcomes.   1

With sufficient coaching even dumb people can learn to score even dumber on IQ tests. It is important though, that no amount of effort will make you run faster then Usain Bolt, and no amount of effort (other then outright cheating) will make you score higher on IQ tests. One can pretend to be dumb or slow, but not pretend to be fast or bright.  

Or can can score low just for lack of effort and motivation. Offering money for good results can increase IQ scores 4 5 6

IQ Test illegal for job entry requirements

In Griggs v. Duke Power Co. the Supreme court decided that IQ tests must not be used in job admission tests. In spite of the fact that a vast amount of  research shows that IQ test is by far the best predictor of job performance. As the Bell Curve cites, the US military has tested millions of recruits for a century, and tracked the professional success of hundreds of thousands, to establish this fact.

So, for political correctness reasons, employers are deprived of the very best tool to select the best candidates for a job. Because this correctly discriminates against Blacks who indisputably have lower IQ (read our 80 posts about race and iq), this practice is prohibited. More is done to force employers to hire incompetent workers unable to do the job

A point has been made that Millions have waste money and time on unnecessary college degrees. These serve as a proxy for intelligence tests. No low-IQ person will get a degree at Stanford, though quotas may cause distortions.

IQ tests mandatory on death row

The same supreme court decided that mentally retarded "special" people can not be fully held responsible for their crimes. 8 9 10 11 An IQ of 70 certainly is enough not to get executed, maybe 75 or 80 still are considered reason to escape death punishment

This means that 15 % to 30% of Blacks are not considered fully responsible for their crime, as US Black IQ is around 85 mean with 15 Standard Deviation.

Intelligence, Race, Criminality: Taboo Poll in Nature Magazine

Shocking questions. Should scientists refrain from studying topics for fear of PC (political correctness)? Is political correctness more important then finding the scientific truth about important issues of our modern life (crime, intelligence, scientific and economic progress, etc.).

Though we disagree with the idea of censorship, we thank Nature Magazine for bringing out the issue into the open.

This is much better then Canadian law, where even the discussion of censorship is censored by hate speech laws. See Canada

 

NATURE Magazine Has A Poll (That You Can Vote In!) On "Taboo Genetics"

Ethics: Taboo genetics

Probing the biological basis of certain traits ignites controversy. But some scientists choose to cross the red line anyway.

Erika Check Hayden

02 October 2013

Scientists cited or quoted include Steve Hsu, Geoffrey Miller, Christopher Chabris, Francis Galton, Robert Plomin, and Bruce Lahn.

And here is Nature’s tut-tutting editorial:

Dangerous work

Behavioural geneticists must tread carefully to prevent their research being misinterpreted.

Here are the four questions in Nature’s poll.

  • Should scientists refrain from studying the genetics of intelligence?

  • Should scientists refrain from studying the genetics of race?

  • Should scientists refrain from studying the genetics of violence?

  • Should scientists refrain from studying the genetics of sexuality?

Human-Stupidity has described politically correct censorship in academic research about Domestic violence, Race and IQ, childhood sexuality (Rind study, child sex trauma myth).

Dumbing down for happiness: MinusIQ | The pill to lower your IQ permanently

 

The final and definite solution for high IQ people, desperate to live in a world of mediocrity and outright stupidity.

MinusIQ | The pill to lower your IQ permanently

We at Human-Stupidity ought to experiment with MinusIQ.

Just enjoy life, accept the world as it is. Think like everyone else. Harmonize with the multitude around you.

Maybe we stop bothering about all these taboo topics that makes everyone hate us. Race and IQ, Euro Crisis, feminism, men’s rights, freedom of academic research, language manipulation, child porn, child food porn, …….

Arthur Jensen, IQ expert, originator of race controversy. RIP

Arthur Jensen, a University of California, Berkeley professor whose scholarly contributions to the field of psychological measurement were often overshadowed by the furor over his findings on race-based differences in intelligence, has died. He was 89.

Arthur_Jensen_Vanderbilt_2002Arthur Jensen died on Oct. 22, 2012.

Arthur Jensen said genetic differences accounted for IQ gap between whites, blacks.

Arthur Jensen had stumbled over the truth. The inconvenient truth, that must not be said, because it contradicts political correctness‘ decrees. Publishing and interpreting taboo scientific findings caused a lot of hostility towards Jensen.

One of the most provocative figures in 20th-century psychology, Mr. Jensen died Oct. 22 at his home in the Northern California town of Kelseyville. He had Parkinson’s disease and other ailments, said his son-in-law Joe Morey.

Affirmative action fail: mismatch hurts Black & Hispanic students too

The Painful Truth About Affirmative Action describes how mismatched students are admitted to colleges where they don’t belong nor thrive, where they suffer and tend to drop out.

They are academic failures and rank at the bottom of their classes. This reinforces the stereotypes of academically inept Blacks and Hispanics, damages the self-esteem of failing minority students that would thrive in less selective colleges. It also is damaging to competent Black and Hispanic students who do not need quotas but who get confused with low performing quota students.

UCLA went through various phases of affirmative action and minority admissions. It is taboo to mention the unspoken secret: when UCL admitted twice as many minorities, drop-out rates increased drastically and in the end the number of minority graduates remained equal. Admitting too many vastly under qualified minorities yields no positive results. It only wastes money and traumatizes students.

Colleges actively hide the truth about the failure of affirmative action.

It is also always overlooked, that discriminated disadvantaged Asians over-perform. Even the mismatch article is shy to admit that this is due to Asian’s genetically superior IQ, augmented further by a culture that values academic success).

The issues of the above summary will be shown in detail in the quotes below

Mismatch: How Affirmative Action Hurts Students It’s Intended to Help, and Why Universities Won’t Admit It (Book)

 

The Painful Truth About Affirmative Actionsat-verbal-critical-reading-by-race-black-white

The single biggest problem in this system — a problem documented by a vast and growing array of research — is the tendency of large preferences to boomerang and harm their intended beneficiaries. Large preferences often place students in environments where they can neither learn nor compete effectively — even though these same students would thrive had they gone to less competitive but still quite good schools.

We refer to this problem as "mismatch," a word that largely explains why, even though blacks are more likely to enter college than are whites with similar backgrounds, they will usually get much lower grades, rank toward the bottom of the class, and far more often drop out. Because of mismatch, racial preference policies often stigmatize minorities, reinforce pernicious stereotypes, and undermine the self-confidence of beneficiaries, rather than creating the diverse racial utopias so often advertised in college campus brochures.

The mismatch effect happens when a school extends to a student such a large admissions preference —

Should black passengers be allowed to sit next to unaccompanied children? (Virgin Airlines ordered Fireman Johnny McGirr to sit away from unaccompanied minor)

An Australian airline’s policy prohibiting black passengers from sitting next to kids traveling alone has fueled a social media firestorm and caused the company to review the rule..

colored-people-only

Which raises more questions such as:

Should black men be allowed to sit next to white women?

Blacks are a protected class and must not be discriminated against. So you know that these headline is just a "joke" to get your attention.

But "males" are not a protected class. One can discriminate at will against men. So watch how the following headline looks much more acceptable. In our headline we just changed the word "male" for "black"

This identical question is from reputable and politically correct CNN.com:

Should male passengers be allowed to sit next to unaccompanied children?

An Australian airline’s policy prohibiting male passengers from sitting next to kids traveling alone has fueled a social media firestorm and caused the company to review the rule.

It is unusual that this is causing a firestorm. Because such policies have been in force everywhere. Including rules that fathers get accosted for photographing their own daughters or for shopping in little girls’ lingerie departments.

Responding to the Virgin Airlines misandry

We need to get across to anyone willing to listen that under the guise of protecting children, policies like this do terrible damage to them. When we institutionalize the notion that men aren’t fit to be around children, we do nothing but solidify eons-old gender stereotypes that keep men from assuming their proper roles as co-parents and that confine them to the workplace. And since someone has to take care of the children, that task will continue to fall to women, as it always has. No one benefits from this wrong-headed policy, least of all our kids.

Virgin Airlines ordered Fireman Johnny McGirr to sit away from unaccompanied minor and change seats with a woman

An Australian airline is reviewing its policy prohibiting men from sitting next to a child flying alone after a Sydney fireman complained about being removed from his seat on a flight earlier this year.

It is well-known that while flying home on Virgin Australia from Brisbane in April, a 33-year-old man was forced to move his seat because he was sitting next to two boys he estimated to be aged between eight and ten, and it is against the airline’s policy for men to sit next to unaccompanied children.
