Looking carefully at the introductions, you can see that the website based its ranking structure on this;

”It can be argued that some nations are dumber than others for a variety of reasons. Firstly, disparities in educational opportunities and access to quality instruction can lead to differences in knowledge and skills between countries. For example, those where the education system is underfunded or where there are limited resources may have lower test scores due to inadequate training and instruction. Additionally, cultural values in certain nations might discourage inquisitiveness and exploration which could contribute to an overall lower level of intelligence as well. Furthermore, different mental health philosophies around the world may also limit the potential for intellectual growth through proper diagnosis and treatment of cognitive disorders. Finally, poverty levels in certain parts of the world greatly impact access to higher learning opportunities such as college or advanced training courses, leading to an overall lower base level of knowledge compared to other countries with more resources available.”

No proper metrics were used.  How they arrived at such conclusions were is not available. There is no need to worry your head over this.
