[quote=Anonymous][quote]IQ as measured by exercises like WPSSI and SAT.

V oxygen max as measured by exercises including exercise tolerance exams with spirometry.

Are Asian Americans more intelligent than other groups in the D.C. area (or nation)? A recent review of test performance (MD state, VA state, SAT averages, etc) put this group at the top of the heap. Does such incontrovertible performance on these aptitude tests indicate a higher intelligence? Or is this intellectual and academic performance largely due to a training effect? What component is due to training?

Much like the incredible V oxygen maximum of the cyclist Lance Armstrong?

There is data to suggest that training for an aptitude test like the SAT can result in up to a 300 point gain. There is also data emerging that training for the WPSSI (e.g., Aristotle Circle) can increase your IQ.[/quote]

No need for reams of "data" links.  This is accepted gospel.  Look around you.  Are you disputing Asians are not performing better than any other group on aptitude tests?  Have you attended you children's schools recently?  Have you seen the lists of those winning all the national competitions?  Have you attended any of the magnet school classes or classes at TJ?

Now, given a much higher performance on aptitude tests (East coast, West coast, NE, South) do Asians have a genetically higher IQ than all other Americans?  If not for lack of legacy, sibling preference, big donors and zip code Asians would occupy every seat in the D.C. area elite, private schools.  Do Asians have a higher IQ than all other Americans?  Are Asians therefore superior to all other Americans?  Are all other Americans inferior to Asians (intellectually)?
