The answer to this question depends in part on raw brainpower, but also on the size of a country. Exclusively for Business Insider, Dr. Jonathan Wai , a Duke University Talent Identification Program research scientist and psychologist, compiled a new ranking of countries based on scores on the 2009 PISA assessment , which tests reading, math, and science competency in 15-year-olds. Multiple researchers have found that these tests, administered by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), are a good measure of g, or general intelligence. In our list, the rank order is based on two things. First, we identified the average percentage of teenagers in each country who achieved the top score of six on math or verbal tests (globally, around the 98th percentile). Second, we cross-referenced this percentage with population to estimate the number of brilliant people per country. This provides a new way of looking at the raw brainpower of each country, not counting the significant effects of immigration and emigration. If you looked only at average scores, you’d find the U.S. is only ranked 24th, near the middle of the pack. But if you then take into account the high-scoring right tail and population, the U.S. is not doing so bad. Note that were not including China on this list. Not every student in China was assessed, but only a few cities. And the result was that Shanghai in particular was a large outlier. Shanghai represents a tiny fraction of Chinas population, is a migration hub that attracts elites, and is much wealthier than the country as a whole. 84% of Shanghais high school students go to college, while 24% do nationwide. Parents in Shanghai also spend a great deal of money on external tutoring, which an average worker couldnt afford. Its not representative of China as a whole. If Shanghai were included on its own, it would rank third on this list. If the scores in China as a whole were even near the international average, the country as a whole would rank first, given the sheer size of the population. Below are the countries with the most brain power, noting the average percentage getting the top score on PISA tests, and the the estimated number of brilliant people. #1 The United States On average, 1.7% scored at elite levels 5,336,300 brilliant people estimated #2 Japan On average, 4.05% scored at elite levels 5,167,800 brilliant people estimated #3 South Korea On average, 4.40% scored at elite levels 2,200,000 brilliant people estimated #4 Germany On average, 2.60% scored at elite levels 2,129,140 brilliant people estimated #5 France On average, 2.20 % scored at elite levels 1,445,400 brilliant people estimated #6 Taiwan On average, 5.85 % scored at elite levels 1,365,390 brilliant people estimated #7 Canada On average, 3.10 % scored at elite levels 1,081,280 brilliant people estimated #8 Russia On average, 0.65% scored at elite levels 932,750 brilliant people estimated #9 The United Kingdom On average, 1.4% scored at elite levels 885,220 brilliant people estimated #10 Australia On average, 3.3 % scored at elite levels 748,440 brilliant people estimated #11 Italy On average, 1% scored at elite levels 609,200 brilliant people estimated #12 Poland On average, 1.45% scored at elite levels 558,830 brilliant people estimated #13 Singapore On average, 9.10% scored at elite levels 483,392 brilliant people estimated #14 Turkey On average, 0.65 % scored at elite levels 481,000 brilliant people estimated #15 Hong Kong On average, 6.00% scored at elite levels 429,300 brilliant people estimated #16 The Netherlands On average, 2.55% scored at elite levels 427,635 brilliant people estimated #17 Belgium On average, 3.45% scored at elite levels 384,330 brilliant people estimated #18 Spain On average, 0.75% scored at elite levels 354,525 brilliant people estimated Average score ranking: 35 #19 Switzerland On average, 4.25% scored at elite levels 339,873 brilliant people estimated #20 Brazil On average, 0.10% scored at elite levels 198,700 brilliant people estimated #21 The Czech Republic On average, 1.80% scored at elite levels 189,180 brilliant people estimated #22 New Zealand On average, 4.1% scored at elite levels 181,753 brilliant people estimated #23 Sweden On average, 1.90% scored at elite levels 180,823 brilliant people estimated #24 Finland On average, 3.25% scored at elite levels 175,955 brilliant people estimated #25 Austria On average, 1.7% scored at elite levels 143,854 brilliant people estimated
