These Are the Countries With the Highest IQs

7. Finland average IQ - 100.9

Finns are some of the best-educated people in the world and have a high rate of literacy. Finland also has compulsory schooling, which means they get more time at school than people living elsewhere - usually up until age 16 or 18, depending on whether they plan on attending college afterward.

Learning is taken very seriously in Finland because students usually aren't allowed certain privileges unless they maintain good grades - such as owning cell phones or playing sports after-school clubs. This rigorous approach has led them to become some of the smartest citizens around, thanks to their excellent schools and teachers who really care about each student's success.
