Hello...


Read this:

The Asian Advantage:

"Richard Nisbett, a professor of psychology who has written an excellent 
book about intelligence, cites a study that followed a pool of 
Chinese-American children and a pool of white children into adulthood. 
The two groups started out with the same scores on I.Q. tests, but in 
the end 55 percent of the Asian-Americans entered high-status 
occupations, compared with one-third of the whites. To succeed as a 
manager, whites needed an I.Q. of 100, while Chinese-Americans needed an 
I.Q. of only 93.

So the Asian advantage, Nisbett argues, isn’t intellectual firepower as 
such, but how it is harnessed.

Some disagree, but I’m pretty sure that one factor is East Asia’s long 
Confucian emphasis on education. Likewise, a focus on education also 
helps explain the success of Jews, who are said to have had universal 
male literacy 1,700 years before any other group."
