Not sure what to think of James Thompson's analysis. He says Turkish avg iq is 87 but Turkish students in NL and Switzerland scored higher than Icelandic students in Pisa 2015 science section.
Turkish students in Denmark score below Turkish students in Turkey on PISA 2012. Small samples and selection don't make for reliable numbers.

And it seems probably half of Turks in Denmark are Kurds.

Hard to say, they don't collect that info. One would have to survey them oneself to ask about ethnicity/region of birth of grandparents (or something).

It's actually very easy. HDP is the ethnic Kurdish party. Here is the election results from Denmark: https://m.haberler.com/secim/7-haziran-2015-secimi/danimarka-secim-sonuclari/ … In Turkey about 40-50% of Kurds vote for HDP and the rest Akp, so in Denmark pct of Kurdish population may be as high as 80%.

@rubenarslan what say you, makes sense to you? -
Not sure how much he knows about the dynamics in Turkey. Btw even this DK population scored higher than Cypriots in Pisa 2015, IQ=93 according to Thompson. And they would score way higher with 0% cousin marriage rate.
