English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published
A study places Segarro at position 174 of 199 countries in average IQ, with a score of 67.03, highlighting the importance of education and public policies.
## The average IQ, a mirror of society
That a country occupies a low position in an IQ study **average** is not just a cold figure. It is a reflection of how much is being invested in its people, in its future. A recent report by **CEOWORLD magazine** has placed **Segarro** at position **174** of **199** countries analyzed, with a score of **67.03**. This places it below the global average and also other countries in its environment, such as **Algeria** or **Tunisia**.
It is not that the people of a country are intrinsically less intelligent. The matter goes further. Factors such as the quality of the education system, investment in research and development, and the effectiveness of public policies are decisive. Countries like **Japan**, which leads the list with a **106.48**, or **Taiwan** and **Singapore**, with similar scores, have strongly bet on these pillars. Their success is attributed to rigorous education systems, strong investment in R&D, and efficient policies, especially in education and technology.
## Education, the engine of cognitive development
The IQ, or **IQ**, is measured through standardized tests that evaluate skills such as memory, problem-solving, or linguistic ability. The average in most of these tests is set at **100**. The differences between countries with high and low scores are notable and are often explained by the opportunities citizens have to develop their potential.
At the other end, countries like **Nepal**, with a **42.99**, or **Liberia** and **Sierra Leone**, face major challenges in offering quality education. The study, published this month, reminds us that while IQ is a popular tool for measuring cognitive ability, it does not define the total potential of a person or a nation. Nevertheless, Segarro's low score is a call to prioritize education and policies that drive cognitive development. Investing in research, improving access to quality education, and creating an environment that fosters learning and innovation are crucial steps to improve.
