What people are saying
The discussions revolve around the reported 14-point IQ difference between European (Ashkenazi) and Oriental Jews, with posts citing studies and questioning data credibility. The tone varies from scientific support to skepticism and racial implications, reflecting both curiosity and controversy, which influences the overall moderate scores on engagement and impact.
Many discussions support the validity of the study, emphasizing the IQ differences between Jewish groups and accepting the findings as fact.
The topic of genetic differences and intelligence among Jewish subgroups garners high curiosity, evidenced by multiple posts referencing studies and data on the subject.
Posts range from sharing studies, questioning data validity, to discussing implications, indicating moderate personal engagement with the topic.
The discussions could influence opinions on social policies or perceptions about genetic intelligence, but are mostly confined to online debates, so the impact is moderate.
Abstract in brief
- The study investigates intelligence differences between European (Ashkenazi) and Oriental Jews in Israel, building on the theory that occupational constraints in Europe led Ashkenazi Jews to develop higher verbal and mathematical skills.
- It finds that Oriental Jews in Israel have an average IQ about 14 points lower than European Jews, supporting the idea that differing historical occupational restrictions influenced intelligence development.
- The explanation suggests that because Oriental Jews had more diverse job opportunities, they did not experience the same selection pressures that favored higher verbal and mathematical intelligence in Ashkenazi Jews.]

Most liked on X and Bluesky@Steve_Sailer Right. There are still very large ancestral-based IQ differences in *Israel*. 14 points is not small. https://t.co/1pOdLzKn45
@cremieuxrecueil You just made up ridiculous data / data based on bad 70 y old studies to confirm your bias. The IQ difference between Ashkenazi and other jews in Israel is much lower. doi:10.1017/S0021932006001660 And it's interesting that Ashkenazi jews tend to score much lower in Israel.

@FaneFlugt @LarsBrugger @MadsStrange_ Ja, mizrahijøder af arabisk afstamning måles generelt til ca. samme gnsnit IQ som araberne, ca. 90. Og jeg synes lidt, at kvantegeniet på billedet ligner en mizrahi israeler, men ok, de er allesammen bare det ærbare ‘jødiske folk’ for højrefløjen
@pantherjack88 @cryptastic_news @jakeshieldsajj @christ_gnosis Is that why we have the highest racial demographic IQ on the planet? Why mine is 136 & I'm hardly anything that special? Because we're so inbred right? If that's true, why are all of yours so retarded? https://t.co/fkLKRaj5g6

@Artemis_1337 @makimapillled Roughly a third of Israel's population self-identified as Askenazi in 2018, and yes 95 is about the average. But for the other countries in the region it's about 75-78.

@Fredrik94829732 @gynaeceum Eftersom judar har en så tragisk historia i Europa och på en del andra platser har de selekterats för högre intelligens.

@boom_tentpeg @Nero_Raul1995 “All the yemenites I’ve met have been very successful and smart” is just delusional. You also implicitly admit that Mizrahim are not as successful. https://t.co/asTxcRps7U https://t.co/gFZq9E4NK2

@jew_AndAhalfMen @DanseurTabby It's not nuts. It's reality. There are vast disparities in IQ between different Jewish groups. It would be in the interest of Israel if its population was full Ashkenazim. That should be state's main objective. https://t.co/xSaY88lL53
@_prosperity4all Halakha is not helpful when dealing with the enemy. GDP is helpful though. All Jews are very different to each other genetically because they were scattered across the globe and mixing with locals. Some have higher potential that others. https://t.co/xSaY88lL53

@boom_tentpeg Obviously there will be Mizrahim working at high-IQ jobs, but it's about distribution. There are simply a lot more Ashkenazim taken as a percentage of their population capable of doing high intensity jobs. https://t.co/xSaY88lL53

@PaoloShirasi @vious_and_couth @Somerandomeblo1 Since people still liking that explanation: David & Lynn 2007 (https://t.co/2iiQ9gtTAZ) claim Ashkenazi-Oriental Jewish gap to be 14 points in Israel. Non-Jews (26 % of Israelis) would have to have IQ of ~71 for Ashkenazi IQ to be 110 and Oriental Jewish IQ 96 but Israeli IQ 94.
@PaoloShirasi @vious_and_couth @Somerandomeblo1 I've seen this debated, didn't quickly find academic sources except this: https://t.co/2iiQ9gtTAZ A blog tries to estimate Israeli Ashkenazi IQ to 103-105 based on it: https://t.co/nXPXoShzGg An SSC-reader claims Lynn cites the IQ as 103: https://t.co/V2e6lnG9T2
