These are self-selected samples. Probably differs in odd ways between countries. I've found this before when analyzing such data e.g. IQ by state from OKCupid or national IQ from SAPA data.
Latest replication of national IQ. This time in a ... biology journal with a spatial ability computer game ('Sea Hero Quest')? https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(18)30771-1 …pic.twitter.com/ZMAidLWjZ5

Too much dichotomous thinking. As you can see, despite the self-selection bias, results align fairly well with known differences between countries and sexes.

Cell. Wow.

It's in Current Biology. Cell is the domain. It's like when you see http://nature.com , but it's in some other journal on same domain. Publisher trick.

Why is US like Scandinavia, when the brits and germans are dominant populations ?
-
It isn't, but unsurprisingly, there's a few places that are more like Scandinavia, and it's where the Scandi immigrants live (e.g. Minnesota).

So are only scandinavian americans playing Sea Hero Quest ?
