It was done by someone in the 90's, and the research was started much earlier than that.
The top quota were the Oriental's, or the asian chinese, japanese, koreans etc. 2nd where the whites, the last was the black people and the second last was the brown people(malays, philipinoes, thai malays).
This research was based on a very large sample and was a follow up from a researcher who did the study in 1969.
This is an excerpt:
QUOTE
Herrnstein and Murray in many ways follow in the footsteps of UC Berkeley researcher Arthur Jensen, whose controversial article on the subject appeared in 1969 in the Harvard Educational Review. The Bell Curve argues that:
1.Intelligence exists and is accurately measurable across racial, language, and national boundaries.
2.Intelligence is one of, if not the most, important factors correlated to economic, social, and overall success in the United States, and its importance is increasing.
3.Intelligence is largely (40% to 80%) genetically heritable.
4.No one has so far been able to manipulate IQ to a significant degree through changes in environmental factors -- except for child adoption -- and in light of these failures, such approaches are becoming less promising.
5.The USA has been in denial of these facts. A better public understanding of the nature of intelligence and its social correlates is necessary to guide future policy decisions.

Isn't it sort of prophetic? The fact that these different level of intelligence correlate to the success of any particular country. The study was done during a period where the white people were at the top of the economic spectrum. The balance of power is shifting now to the east.
If this was an experiment, doesn't the progress of each race in a particular country confirm the initial hypothesis?
