Lalpari - And your source for that statistic is? I might be a bit more inclined to believe it if I knew where it was coming from. Americans have fared somewhere in the middle when compared to other countries in most surveys. If we are to get serious here, and I still think this topic should be taken lightly, general knowledge is but only one measure of smartness. What people do with their knowledge - how they act based on what they know - is, in my opinion, the real measure of smartness.And on that account, you just need to look around - I think Americans are as smart - no more, no less - as any other people in the world when you look at nations collectively and use more than general knowledge to measure smartness My 2 cents.
