Yes they certainly are, India currently has an average IQ of 81–85 something in the range of Arab Nations and slightly higher than African countries, as compared to China which has an average IQ of 112–115 which is much higher than India’s, this also explains why China is far ahead of India in almost every aspect, they are also more significantly harder working than Indians, though one must take into account the massive poverty and malnutrition levels of India which have a negative impact on its average IQ, maybe when India achieves a level of development similar to China’s today, then I predict the average IQ level of India to be atleast 100 or slightly more, also it depends on the region of India, Gujarati’s and South Indians certainly have higher IQ than north Indians as these regions are more developed, when South India achieves a level of development similar to China’s today, then I predict their average IQ to be 110–112. Though if it comes down to average IQ then China will always have a higher average IQ than India simply because of how diverse India is.

对，他们当然是。印度人目前平均智商81~85，处于阿拉伯国家的范围，高于非洲国家，中国人平均智商112~115高出印度很多，这也解释了中国在各领域都比印度领先，中国人也明显比印度人更努力。

但要考虑到印度的大规模贫困和营养不良的水平，这对平均IQ造成了负面影响。或许当印度达到中国今天的发展水平时，那我预测印度人的平均IQ水平至少100或更高。

这也取决于印度的地区，古吉拉特和南印度这些地区更发达，那里人的智商肯定高于北印度。当南印度达到中国今日相同的发展水平时，我预测他们的平均IQ也将为110~112。

但如果是平均智商，中国会一直高于印度，因为印度是多样化的。

Having worked with the the Chinese, the Koreans and Japanese, I have a hunch that their visio spatial skills are of higher order than Indians.This become apparent when you consider their lead in consumer goods like phones, Television etc.

I cannot comment on the verbal and analytical skills as most them don’t study with English as their primary language and therefore may not be able to express themselves well.Even on this subject people of chinese Ethnicity in Malaysia and Singapore, who do have English as their primary language,do almost as well as Indians.

和中国人、韩国人、日本人一起工作过，我直觉他们的视觉空间能力比印度人更好。当你考虑在如手机、电视机等消费产品的领先地位时，就更明显了。

我不能对他们的语言和分析能力发表评论，因为他们大多数不将英语当成主要语言，不能很好地表达自己。即使是在马来西亚和新加坡的华人，他们的母语也是英语，他们做得几乎和印度人一样好。

They aren’t, it seems to be !

If all indians are given same tutorial they would be more intelligent than chinese – the intelligence is not something you are born with, you have to nourish it !

不，看起来是。如果印度人都接受同样的教育，他们会比中国人更聪明。智力不是与生俱来的，你必须培养它。

statistically yes, the reason why Indians in america is doing very well is because the Indians in america are the best of India, while the best of china stay in china, that’s why china is progressive and India is not. Indians in US is brain draining India.

统计学上，是。在美国的印度人做得很好，是因为在美印度人是最优秀的印度人，而最优秀的中国人在中国，所以中国进步而印度没有。在美印度人是印度的人才流失。

Chineses are smarter than Indians for sure. Especially, chineses always want to learn new things. While Indians have a better social skills and their language is closer to indo-European language background so that Indians have more benefits to learn English. It’s true. So, Chineses and Indians are different. Your question is actually confusing. Are you asking about learning English ability or learning deep knowledge? Or good business skills? Etc…

中国人的确比印度人聪明，特别是，中国人总想学新东西。虽然印度人有更强的社会技能，他们的语言更接近印欧语言背景，所以印度人学英语更有利。这是事实。所以中国人和印度人是不同的，你的问题真奇怪，你问的是英语能力，还是学习深入知识？或者商务技能？

Overall China is more “developed” than India, whichever way you look at it. And the possible reasons are : let’s face it – Chinese are more hard working and disciplined than Indians. But also because Chinese autocratic governance have far higher enforcement abilities in their disposal.

Coming to the argument of “intelligence” : China is ethnically and culturally very homogeneous Nation. And Chinese gover*nt have created far more effective (and mandatory) school education system, which undoubtedly makes a random sample of Chinese school students better performing than Indian counterparts.

Real comparison would be comparing Indian and Chinese creme de la creme – the brain drain immigrants in “neutral” grounds like USA or UK. And there they perform equally well. However, if Corporate presence in high-skilled STEM sector is any indicator, then Indians outperform the Chinese.

总体而言，中国比印度更“发达”。可能原因是：让我们面对——中国人比印度人更勤劳，更自律。也因为中国的独裁治理，让他们在行事的时候有更高的执行力。

关于“智力”，中国的民族和文化非常同质化，中国创建了更有效（强制性）的学校教育系统，无疑让中国拥有比印度更好的学校学生随机抽样副本。

真正的比较是，中国的精华——人才，移民到“中立国”，像美国和英国。在那里他们表现得同样出色。然而，如果在干细胞研究领域内公司是一项指标，那印度比中国表现得更好。

Even in Chinese dominated Singapore, Indian origin school students outperform Chinese in more technically intensive A level (in spite of lagging behind both Chinese and Malays in more rote-learning dependent O-level ). Google : Indian Singaporeans (Wiki). Additionally Indians are more likely to have tertiary education than any other migrant groups.

This analysis doesn’t “prove” by any stretch that as a RACE, Indians are better than Chinese. Just like Shanghai school students’ Maths and reading comprehension scores doesn’t prove otherwise.

即使在华人主导的新加坡，印度裔学生在技术更集中的领域比中国人更出色（尽管在死记硬背方面落后于中国人和马来西亚人）。此外，印度人比其他移民群体更容易接受高等教育。

此项分析不能证明作为一个种族，印度人比中国人更好。就像上海学生的数学和阅读理解分数不能证明一样。

It is difficult to ascertain, though I have heard many Indians admit to that effect in private. I personally have a hearty contempt for these IQ tests, especially when measured across countries (such as these Why China Is Far Superior To India) . Like any civilized modern man, I frown upon the whole idea of thinking some group inherently better or worse than some other group

Let us say the Chinese are more intelligent than Indians. So what? Being intelligent is just one component of success in the modern world. Success in life has many more angles: drive, hard work, emotional intelligence, perseverance, ability to spot opportunities, cunning, pragmatism, relationships, etc. Indians match the Chinese is these areas, if not surpass them.

很难确定，尽管我听很多印度人私下承认这种影响。我个人对IQ测试由衷鄙视，特别是各国间的判断（例如中国为何优于印度）。像任何一个现代文明人，我不赞成一个群体比另一个群体更好或更糟的想法。

让我们说中国人比印度人更聪明，那又怎么样？聪明只是现代社会成功的组成部分。人生的成功有很多角度：努力、勤劳、情商、毅力、发现机会的能力、灵巧、实用主义、人际关系等。印度人在这些领域比得了中国，如果没有超越的话。

Since I write primarily about history, let me make a point from history. How did the Chinese let the Indians influence it for over a thousand years, if indeed the Indians are less intelligent than the Chinese? I am talking of the Indian influence of China – religion + philosophy + language in the first millennium of the CE.

To be fair, I don’t see too many conceptual thinkers amongst Indians in my profession (i .e. outside Quora) and I do see far more East Asians. But that is more a cultural thing than innate intelligence.

Here in the USA, where I live, most of the gymnasts, swim teams, and sports teams have plenty of Chinese and almost no Indians. As far as athletic abilities are concerned, I can readily grant that Chinese of 2017 seem far superior. But as far as concerns intelligence, I don’t know!

因为我写的主要是历史，从历史上说，中国如何让印度影响了它千年，如果印度人真的没中国人聪明？我说的是印度对中国的影响：公元前，宗教、哲学、语言等。

公平的说，在我的专业中，我看不到很多印度人中概念上的思想家，的确看到了更多的东亚人。但这更像是一种文化，而非天生的智慧。

我住在美国，大多数体操运动员、游泳队和运动队有很多中国人，几乎没有印度人。考虑运动能力，我乐意承认2017年的中国似乎更优越。但智力，我不知道。

I was in Paris last year. In all its museums – Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, Musée d’Art Moderne, and even the minor ones, you will find the Chinese by the bus loads. But not more than handful of Indians will be spotted in such places. Of course, you will find Indians atop the Eiffel tower, towards which all the Patel tourist buses head! And similar observations can be made across many cities of Europe and US. What do we infer from this? I have a theory: the PRC is encouraging its citizens to learn European civilization at its root by visiting all these museums. Why? Without a doubt, the PRC harbors the ambition of unseating the “decadent” West and one of the ways it hopes to do that is by understanding the West’s intellectual underpinning. So whether the Chinese are more intelligent or not, I do not know, but they are definitely more “intelligence respecting” and “intelligence admiring” !

These are some of my observations on this subject!

我去年在巴黎，当地所有博物馆，卢浮宫、 奥赛博物馆、现代艺术博物馆甚至小型的，你都会找到中国人，但很少发现印度人。当然，你会在埃菲尔铁塔顶看到印度人，向帕特尔观光车前进。

这种类似的观察在欧美许多城市都可看到。我们能从中推测出什么？我有个理论，中国鼓励其公民通过游览这些博物馆，从根本上学习欧洲文明。为何呢，不用怀疑，中国怀有取代“颓废”西方的野心，通过了解基础知识来实现这一目标。

所以，中国是否更聪明，我不知道，但他们的确更“有智慧”。
