Kiwis rate bottom of the class for IQ
 
Go to the back of the class, New Zealand, you don't measure up in the international IQ stakes. ... Just to twist the knife, New
Zealanders featured in the Australian test as one of the contestant groups, along with blondes and builders, and finished last,
getting only 44 per cent of the questions right on average. ...One of the creators of the New Zealand test, Professor John Hattie,
head of Auckland University's school of education, said the reason for the transtasman gap was obvious - "They cheated. Of course
they did, they are Australian."

No surprises there....

So what? All that proves is the Kiwis were too stupid to cheat and too
stupid to catch us cheating. Doesn't alter the overall assessment one
bit.
