When taking Eastern European stats into account there are two very important factors: 1) most of them haven't had a standardised IQ test since the fall of the Communist regimes and 2) there is a lot of noise on the stats of Easter Europeans in foreign countries because a lot of the migrants who identify as Serbians, Bulgarians, Romanians etc. are of roma-gipsy origin, that skews data a lot. But if you take other cognitive fields in consideration these countries tend to have performance quite higher than their indicated IQ (e.g. Math and Informatics Olympiads performance: Eastern European countries are a dominant force).

If you combine the primary grades with the selection index how well does it correlate with Lynn's IQ map? How well does it correlate with Pisa?
