The 'national IQ' of Mali is based on a single study in which the authors state that use of the Ravens may substantially underestimate the intelligence of children in Mali and that this can be particularly problematic when comparisons are made across cultures using the same test and norms.
“Results indicate that use of the Ravens may substantially underestimate the intelligence of children in Mali.This can be particularly problematic when comparisons are made across cultures using the same test and norms”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
