The countries with the lowest average IQ scores are Equatorial Guinea, Cameron, Mozambique, Saint Lucia, The Gambia, The Republic of Congo, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Liberia, Haiti and Gabon.

All of these countries have an average IQ of less than 70. Most of the countries with low average IQ scores are African countries; this is mainly because of the high rate of disease burdens in this region.

Other factors that can lead to low IQ scores are poverty, poor education, malnutrition, lack of sanitation and the climatic condition of a place. The countries listed above suffer from some of these factors that can cause the average IQ to be low.

The countries with the lowest average IQ scores are Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Mozambique, Gabon, and Africa. These are the countries that have the highest disease burdens. Infectious disease is the most powerful predictor of average national IQ. These areas are poor and malnourished as well. Research has shown that IQ levels are also dependent upon income, climate, and educational opportunities.

Poverty, lack of sanitation, and below average healthcare also have a negative impact on IQ levels. Lower income countries, such as Mongolia seem to possess lower IQ’s. Hot climate countries are also considered to have a disadvantage as far as the development of intelligence. Nations who suffer from poor health also tend to have the lowest IQ scores.
