How about a questions about the average IQ in some subsaharan country?
Hm, good idea. Could be very controversial, though, and I'm not sure of whether it would be sufficiently provable. But yes, a question where the true answer is some negative fact about an African country is a good idea. Thanks!
If you don't want to go into the IQ area, personal values are a good topic.
The World Value Survey seems a good source.
In some African countries more Muslims believe that homosexuality should be punishable by death than most Western liberals would like.
A number of the above questions are not asking, "Is X true?" but rather "Do group Y believe that X is true?"
But once you get into asking "Do group Y believe that X should be done?" you're not talking about respondents' model of others' factual "is" beliefs, but respondents' model of others' moral "ought" beliefs.
That might be a very different thing.
Excellent! Yes those sorts of questions are even better.
