I do not want to be mean but the education we go through helps us a lot in our lives we do get stressed in Indian school but in later life, it helps us a lot.
The first discoverers of the laws of algebra, geometry, calculus, the binary number system. The first people to successfully carry out cataract surgery, and plastic surgery. The highest paid ethnic group in the United States. Among the smartest employees (and employers) in the booming information technology industry. The only nation that was able to resist British occupation and achieve independence. Despite a relatively high amount of poverty due to a large population, over 600 million people live above the poverty line. The first creators of chess. The land of the Kama Sutra. Most Indians speak three or more languages, depending on their state and class. A country which actively undertakes cutting edge space reasearch. The country with the largest and most widespread film industry in the world. The creators of the best tasting (and some of the healthiest) food in the world.
I will definitely vote for India. Can you imagine how they made time bombs and terrorist stuff? Wooow! I know, most of you are shock but, this is really amazing. Small mistake and the bomb will explode. Isn't that amazing? Try one in your house. Just a home made bombs. If you succeed then, you can level your minds to them. If you do not succeed... It's either your dead because, the bomb explode while your making it or you don't know what is the exact ingredients to that. You can ask them if you want. They can give you a lot of tips. India rules! Yala! Yala!
All scientific discoveries taking place now were done long ago in ancient India
Round earth, the number zero, laws of geometry, space time (most important), theories about how everything began,
The frequency generated by the planets of the solar system together produce the sound "om"(nasa said this)
But the problem was that indians never had unity and everyone took advantage of it. Then the whole caste system and stupid superstitions spoilt everything

It has a large population of 126.86 million people (Statistics Bureau of Japan. Retrieved April 27, 2016). ...read more.
I would vote for Japan. In terms of inventions and other latest electronics device, Japan is the man for that. Although, India is claiming for being intelligent because of their previous achievements, which is by far, not acknowledge by other people... Some stolen stuff... Still, Japan is very undeniable country with lots of very intelligent people. It's either arts, music, science, martial arts, economy... Almost all of it. Name it, they have it. Best anime creator and games creator. Hentai is the best. Very interesting and exciting. What are you waiting for, people? Vote for Japan.
Count the number of Nobel laureates.
Count the number of Fields Medals.
Count the number of Draper Prize.
All those many achievements have been accomplished after 1945.
Only Japan won against Russia before 1945 in Asia.
Only Japan could fight against USA before 1945 in Asia.
Only Edo city (current Tokyo) and London, more than one million citizens lived safely before 1800.
Only Edo city, there were a perfectly separated system between water supply and sewer equipment before 1800. That's why no plague was threat for Edo civilians.
Bullet trains go faster than 300km/h minutes by minutes accurately all over Japan without any fatal accidents since 1964.
The most interesting thing is that the other countries which are mentioned mostly get votes and comments from their own citizens but Japan gets from the others.
This is how wisdom shows itself! The
Japanese are the smartest people walking on Earth!
Japan is the only non White nation that industrialized on its own. Japan was the only non White nation that had a modern, global empire. Japan's automotive industry is efficient, modern looking, and extremely affordable to all parts around the world.

Pakistanis are some of the world most intelligent and persevering people. Pakistan is the country with the fastest rate of internet enhancement and is the largest market for cell phones in the world. Our love of technology has stemmed from our high level of intellect in the field and will continue to grow to unfathomable heights. Pakistan is also the country with the fastest growing literacy rate, as it was up by 250% per year in contrast to 11.6% for our beloved neighbors in India. Our people and intelligence brave and overall incredible. Pakistan Zindabad
Yes, Pakistan is the most intelligent country. Look at ISI one of the best intelligence agencies. Muslims were the ones who brought order, and renewed ideas of classical Greek, and Roman thinking. Without us, none of this would have been brought to light. In Baghdad, we had the House of Wisdom, One of the largest libraries of knowledge in the world. Sadly destroyed by Mongols, when Baghdad was sacked. We were the ones to develop Andalusia,(Hispania, Spain). All the way from the shores of the Iberian Peninsula to the Islands of Oceania we spread our knowledge and these nations prospered. We were the ones who brought Europe out of the Dark Ages. We created Universities, Hospitals, Surgeries, etc. Without us and our discoveries. The world would have been a few hundred years behind.
Yap! I agree. They are the most intelligent people; especially in business. They always use 5-6 to gain more money if you are loaning some money on them. They can even sale some pirated DVD movies in much more affordable price. I use to buy some porn movies on them. It's really a high quality. They can even fix your cellphone on the spot without even having enough idea how to fix it. Very resourceful. No offense, people. Not very rich country but, very intelligent people.
Pakistanis are great. They are talented, good looking and intelligent. The are good in sports, education etc. Filthy countries like the US, India, UK say that Pakistan are supporting terrorists but actually they are supporting them. I as an German say that Pakistan is very nice, talented and friendly. Long live Pakistan. They are the country who have contributed the largest against global terrorism.

Ranks highly in the PISA tests; their education system is reflective of this. While rigorous, it manages to value the Confucian principle of hard work as a means of getting anywhere! Onward.
South Korea is number one.
South Korea is the best!
There super smart

China's economic progress has been stunted over the past decade or so. No doubt their country contains many intelligent people, and the sharing of their ideas has not been inhibited by their government (even though it is a strict communist regime). It consistently places first in the International Math Olympiad
Why are they smart...because they don't spend money on research and development. They steal it from the most intelligent people on earth. That would be the USA? China is good at making fireworks. That's it.
Uh, I don't get how this list works. You cannot just classify a country as having a lot of smart people. Especially Asian countries. That's just a stereotype
Vast population with a lot of internationally acclaimed physicists, mathematicians and other professions of high regard.

Singapore is the smartest country. Hardworking students there make's them the best
Isn't Singapore the smartest country in the world?

There is no doubt Israelis people are the one of the most intelligent, smart, clever, wise, sapient, sage people in all world!

Some territory was lost after World War 1 and a lot more after World War 2, basically started by Hitler's Nazi dictatorship. Then the Soviets kept their zone - the 'DDR', East Germany, separate with a wall through the middle of Berlin, until 1990 when the country was reunited. ...read more.
How can even India be number 1 while Germany number 10? Germany portrays the word "advanced" and "higly-technological"..have you seen the architectural buildings of Frankfurt before even putting Germany into this rank? Albert Einstein, one of the most intellectual-thinking scientists the history ever known is proved the us, Germans are the most advanced and intellectual people.
You ever heard of the electron microscope? the jet engine? the diesel engine? Air to air guided missiles? Aspirin, the rotary engine, the first computer the interstate system, the car, the theory of nuclear fission and lets not forget that they basically ran NASA and put the united states on the moon. even the new smart phones computer chips were designed by germans. it goes on and on...
Nearly all modern technologies were started in Germany, from the automobile to most military equipment like the anti tank rifle. The German automotive industry is the most advanced, yet is a lot easier and more repetitive than the too complicated American automotive industry.
Germany has may people famous for creating and advancing life in its way of living. They may be known as american because they went there to teach and show their ways, but they all spoke German and are German.

The famous philosopher known to many as "Justin Bieber" comes from Canada. Why is this not number 1?
'Great discoveries from great minds came from Canada. It's also the most peaceful country in the world.'
I wish I was Canadian. They don't have that much racism, Donald trump made America racist, help me please
I love this beautiful country, it is the very best!

First, the question of who has the most intelligent people in the world is a matter of population as well as intelligence. America has more geniuses than Singapore has people! Say goodbye to all the other small countries on this list. Countries are very often ranked based on their average intelligence with out regard to variation among ethnic groups. The United States taken as a whole has a high, but not world beating IQ. Drill down to various ethnic groups and you find the intelligence of those groups is much higher than the American average. The average for the dominant group is as high as any other group in the world. Add to that the fact that the smartest people in the world try to immigrate to America, and you have a very large sub-group of intelligent people. The intelligence data we have for China records information for only a few of the big urban area. Extrapolating that intelligence to the whole country is not valid. With hundreds of millions rural Chinese still living at ...more
I'm American, and I think my IQ score of 144 is much higher than a lot of other Americans. A lot of people in the United States of America are fat. I am not one of those people, I am quite skinny and am trying to GAIN weight. That's very rare to hear from someone in the United States of America. In the United States of America, kids get C's and/or D's. Very rarely do you hear an American kid is getting straight A's every year. Kids from the United States of America just go home, ignore homework, play video games on their gaming systems, and lay on the couch watching television, until it is time for them to sleep. Kids in the United States of America don't pay attention in school, and fail lots of things. Kids and even ADULTS hardly understand politics in the United States of America. Let's get away from the kids subject. Ever since all of the toys in the United States of America were made safe, the dumb person percentage went up very high. This is because in the older days, when I ...more
Don't get me wrong - China, Japan, and India has some truly brilliant people. But this is America.
While as a country we are declining in intelligence (thanks to these useless public schools), we are America. The country that nearly every other country tried to copy in some way to better their own system. The country that has people wishing they could come here. (*Glares at Mexico*)
We have created better versions of nearly every other invention ever created. Guns? You betcha. Colt 1911 model created the modern standard for handguns. Rockets/Space-fare? We made it to the moon first. Personal Technology? Yup. Anyone who uses an iPhone knows I'm right. This is MURIKA, the greatest experiment of Mankind!
Sadly, Obama may change that.
United States is most intelligent nation, cause best universities in the world in US (like Harvard, etc.) Also this county have highest number of Nobel Prize laureates. Also the Internet was invented in US. It also have the Silicon Valley, NASA. This country is first in science according by all rankings "The smartest country, without a doubt! " "Unbeatable intelligence! ". I'm American and I'am a very intelligent and a smart person like Swiss people are very smart too!

This is not real.

Sri Lankans claim to have the best brains in the world from historical days. It's earliest human remains dates back to about 35000 years. Sri Lankans were the people who first used symbolical characters in the world. The great King Ravana was the first creator of space travelling machine called 'Dandumonara' which has evidence in 'Ramayanaya' written by an Indian. The pre-historical evidence shows how creative these people were and what brilliant technology they possessed in agriculture and construction, some of which are not even able to solve in this so called technological era. However, after Portugese, Dutch and especially British invaded this beautiful country, they destroyed the knowledge and power of the Sri Lankans and built markets for their junk. If you ask how come they invade such a strong country, the answer is, simply they outnumbered this small population.
Sri lankans are a nation who cares without boundaries. Nowhere in the world you'll find such a nation which is so balanced. They are hospitable (very much mistaken as loyal to white skin), they are kind, they trust others (You can get may things done just for the word of mouth), They find a workaround for almost any problem, Almost anyone can understand English, Very high in education level, they very well can say come and see. So come and see if you really want to know without just commenting by knowing couple of people.
Sri Lankans are the people who introduced the spectacles, first Hospitals, Surgery system, First air craft (Dandu Monara) which fueled by mercury, They had good Irrigational technology since the ancient era.
200+ Sri lankan scientists work in Nasa. How dare you tell we are only smart in cooking?

It's just a matter of knowing history and culture to understand why this peninsula has the highest IQ average in the western world. A history full of geniuses in every field. A demanding education system and escellent traditional universities which are continually penalised by the modern rating system which places modernity and facilities above academia and knowledge.
Highest average IQ from all western countries, Italy is full of cultural and architectural wonders and the level of the education system is very brilliant. Italy gave birth to many cultural and political doctrines. Not to mention all the great figures that changed the world!

Switzerland is very advance when it comes to the medical department. Not to mention they helped the Jewish escape Denmark.

Digital technologies at Russia are really superlative. They produce a lot of chess grandmasters and mathematicians and physicists and the like.
Since Russia is quite competitive, people take education very seriously. Having bad grades in school or uni is a no-go!
Russia is the smartest country in the world. India is a breeding rabbit- Winston Churchill.

Although South Korea's and Finland's education systems are polar opposites, one or the other usually gets ranked at least in the top 10's and sometimes in the number 1 spot!
Finnish teenagers are one of the smartest among the world.
It has the best teaching from government itself.

Norway has a strong innovation culture.




Wow. I'm a Vietnamese, and I'm really surprised it's up this high. Are we really that smart?

So just because there was a war against emus 90 years ago we are dumb? Pretty much everyone who was alive at that point is dead now, that can't be held against modern day Aussies. Australians get as much work done as the US despite having a population fourteen times smaller.
Australia is very good at staying out of arguments and minding their own business.
They had a war with there own national bird, very intelligent people am I right?

The Netherlands was the first country to legalize same sex marriages.

New Zealand is such a peaceful country.

Admitting when you can't do something is one of the smartest things you can do. Like when the natzis came into Denmark.
Dude, this should be 1
