Looks about right to me but I think the Japanese might be in the yellow.

You're not making it up, but somebody is.

Much false information has made its way into Wikipedia. This is just another good example.

I went looking for it on Wiki. Apparently the data is derived from a book called IQ and the Wealth of Nations.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_and_the_Wealth_of_Nations

The article describes how some figures were arrived at by some rather sketchy methods. For instance, the El Salvador score is derived by averaging the scores for Guatemala and Colombia. Ah, lovely junk science. Where would we be without you?

Why go through all the trouble of creating a new map. Why not use the USA Today Red/Blue map?
