Robert I have seen that in your older post you talk a lot about ashkenazi IQ but never Sepharadic IQ.
Do you know what is the average IQ of Sepharadic jews ?
Mizrachi IQ is about the same as Arabs, ~90.
I assumed the author was speaking of Mizrachis. Mizrachis are the Jews of the Arab World. It also includes the Jews of the Caucasus, Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, China, etc.
Sephardics are Mediterranean European Jews. They come from Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, the Balkans, Albania, and Turkey. Their IQ may be quite high, I have no idea.
This is why Israel does not have a particularly high national IQ. 40% of the population are Ashkenazi Jews (IQ 113?) and the other 40% are Mizrachi Jews (IQ 90). Then there are 20% Palestinian Arabs (IQ 90?). So when you average it all out, the national IQ is not so high.
