I thin iq is bs and asian iq being high is circumstantial. All iq tests are based on pattern recognition and simple math. Asian cultures use angled graphics which could mean they are more exposed to visuals that are used in iq tests whereas whites use round graphics in their cultures so in iq tests they rely more in actual intelligence eather than visual pattern recognition. Proof is in how large disparity is between development of white vs asian societies throughout history.
Korean, Chinese and Japanese have a higher IQ on tests for cultural reasons because historically there was a tradition in China of promoting people based on how well they do on tests on the "Confucian" classics
So they have had a long standing tradition of studying for tests in order to get promoted at work
Knowing whether or not something was true or false was not important to them but only knowing what answer the test grader wanted
This is relatively new to Europeans
@shortstories you can most definitely study for iq test. There is limited amount of test types so if you know what to do upfront, you can easily score high. But that was not my point.
@Justicar
Generally with some exceptions
My point is they have a higher IQ because their parents teach them to study more than white parents teach their kids to study which is more than black parents teach their kids to study
It is not primarily genetic
Also Southeast Asians have not invented stuff as much as White people because they do not study in order to determine if something is true or false or if it works from a science or engineering standpoint, where as White people culturally do
Now why do black people who have white parents get low test scores if it is not genetic
The media and their parents and society at large encourage them to find the culturally roots of their bioligical ancestors
They watch media which teaches them to blame the White man for their problems and get a free hand out instead of studying and doing self improvement work and getting their economic provisions through means other then deception, coercion and stealing
Vietnam, Thailand, Laos have a lower IQ than Japan, South Korean & China
People I have met from these lower IQ Southeast Asian cultures are better at trade school skills like carpentry and know gardening, camping and wilderness survival type skills better but are not as book smart
If I was stranded in the wilderness I would rather be with one of these wilderness smart people than book smart people
Urban blacks are usually bad at book smarts and also do not know wilderness survival
@Justicar
They also have a much more logical system of counting that allows them to reach very high levels of fast, mental arithmetic.
11 = "ten one"
12 = "ten two"
13 = "ten three"
20 = "two ten"
etc...
We waste time remembering unique words like eleven, twelve and thirteen. That's an inefficient use of brain power, much like QWERTY is an inefficient way to type.
I have no doubt that developmentally this helps to structure and optimize their brain in different ways than us.
