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.
對，他們當然是。印度人目前平均智商81~85，處于阿拉伯國家的範圍，高于非洲國家，中國人平均智商112~115高出印度很多，這也解釋了中國在各領域都比印度領先，中國人也明顯比印度人更努力。
但要考慮到印度的大規模貧困和營養不良的水平，這對平均IQ造成了負面影響。或許當印度達到中國今天的發展水平時，那我預測印度人的平均IQ水平至少100或更高。
這也取決于印度的地區，古吉拉特和南印度這些地區更發達，那裏人的智商肯定高于北印度。當南印度達到中國今日相同的發展水平時，我預測他們的平均IQ也將爲110~112。
但如果是平均智商，中國會一直高于印度，因爲印度是多樣化的。

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.
和中國人、韓國人、日本人一起工作過，我直覺他們的視覺空間能力比印度人更好。當你考慮在如手機、電視機等消費産品的領先地位時，就更明顯了。
我不能對他們的語言和分析能力發表評論，因爲他們大多數不將英語當成主要語言，不能很好地表達自己。即使是在馬來西亞和新加坡的華人，他們的母語也是英語，他們做得幾乎和印度人一樣好。

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，看起來是。如果印度人都接受同樣的教育，他們會比中國人更聰明。智力不是與生俱來的，你必須培養它。

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.
統計學上，是。在美國的印度人做得很好，是因爲在美印度人是最優秀的印度人，而最優秀的中國人在中國，所以中國進步而印度沒有。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…
中國人的確比印度人聰明，特別是，中國人總想學新東西。雖然印度人有更強的社會技能，他們的語言更接近印歐語言背景，所以印度人學英語更有利。這是事實。所以中國人和印度人是不同的，你的問題真奇怪，你問的是英語能力，還是學習深入知識？或者商務技能？

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.
總體而言，中國比印度更“發達”。可能原因是：讓我們面對——中國人比印度人更勤勞，更自律。也因爲中國的獨裁治理，讓他們在行事的時候有更高的執行力。
關于“智力”，中國的民族和文化非常同質化，中國創建了更有效（強制性）的學校教育系統，無疑讓中國擁有比印度更好的學校學生隨機抽樣副本。
真正的比較是，中國的精華——人才，移民到“中立國”，像美國和英國。在那裏他們表現得同樣出色。然而，如果在幹細胞研究領域內公司是一項指標，那印度比中國表現得更好。
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.
即使在華人主導的新加坡，印度裔學生在技術更集中的領域比中國人更出色（盡管在死記硬背方面落後于中國人和馬來西亞人）。此外，印度人比其他移民群體更容易接受高等教育。
此項分析不能證明作爲一個種族，印度人比中國人更好。就像上海學生的數學和閱讀理解分數不能證明一樣。

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.
很難確定，盡管我聽很多印度人私下承認這種影響。我個人對IQ測試由衷鄙視，特別是各國間的判斷（例如中國爲何優于印度）。像任何一個現代文明人，我不贊成一個群體比另一個群體更好或更糟的想法。
讓我們說中國人比印度人更聰明，那又怎麽樣？聰明只是現代社會成功的組成部分。人生的成功有很多角度：努力、勤勞、情商、毅力、發現機會的能力、靈巧、實用主義、人際關系等。印度人在這些領域比得了中國，如果沒有超越的話。
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!
因爲我寫的主要是曆史，從曆史上說，中國如何讓印度影響了它千年，如果印度人真的沒中國人聰明？我說的是印度對中國的影響：公元前，宗教、哲學、語言等。
公平的說，在我的專業中，我看不到很多印度人中概念上的思想家，的確看到了更多的東亞人。但這更像是一種文化，而非天生的智慧。
我住在美國，大多數體操運動員、遊泳隊和運動隊有很多中國人，幾乎沒有印度人。考慮運動能力，我樂意承認2017年的中國似乎更優越。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，當地所有博物館，盧浮宮、 奧賽博物館、現代藝術博物館甚至小型的，你都會找到中國人，但很少發現印度人。當然，你會在埃菲爾鐵塔頂看到印度人，向帕特爾觀光車前進。
這種類似的觀察在歐美許多城市都可看到。我們能從中推測出什麽？我有個理論，中國鼓勵其公民通過遊覽這些博物館，從根本上學習歐洲文明。爲何呢，不用懷疑，中國懷有取代“頹廢”西方的野心，通過了解基礎知識來實現這一目標。
所以，中國是否更聰明，我不知道，但他們的確更“有智慧”。
