Well-known global speaker and entrepreneur Eric Thomas once said: “Knowledge is the new money.”
He was alluding to the currency that comes with knowledge and education.
Speaking about knowledge and education, there are countries in the world that invested greatly towards this currency.
In other words, some countries have more smart people than others.
This was revealed in this year’s World Population Review.
According to the study, The Intelligence Capital Index, or ICI, is used to determine the intelligence of the world’s countries.
This index uses several factors to determine which nations are most likely to develop the most advanced ideas of the future. A similar study was performed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
The OECD used data, including adult education level, to determine the world’s smartest nations.
Based on this data, Canada was listed as the most intelligent nation with Japan placed second and Israel third.
According to the World Population Review, these are the top 10 smartest countries in the world:
1. Hong Kong
2. Singapore
3. South Korea
4. China
5. Japan
6. Taiwan
7. Italy
8. Switzerland
