Given the column names, it appears they're based on published studies. Presumably each publication has its own methodology.
For instance it looks like "Becker 2019" is this book ( https://richardlynn.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/THE-INTEL... ) called "The Intelligence of Nations". This in turn is based on the "National IQ Dataset" ( https://viewoniq.org/?page_id=9 ) which appears itself to be an aggregation of data from numerous other publications. (The data file has a "Ref" spreadsheet with 414 citations.)
I'm reflexively skeptical of documents that seem to suggest this level of comprehensiveness, leaving aside the issue of whether IQ is a measure that is validly comparable across all nations.
How were these obtained?
What test(s) were used to get these values? How were the subjects selected?
