[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It is not genetic. 30 years ago, I worked for the research department of JHU’s CTY. We identified gifted and talented kids by, in 7th grade, giving them the SAT (yes, they took the full SAT in 7th grade). Kids scoring above 930 combined were qualified for our accelerated summer courses. Of the talented kids we identified: 1/3 of the kids were Asian; another 1/3rd self-identified as Jewish. The remaining 1/3rd were a mix of every remaining group. That tells you the deciding factor is: culture. [/quote] That doesn't tell me what the deciding factor is. Perhaps you left out some data from the research, but what I see here doesn't disprove the idea that Asians and Jews are more intelligent genetically. It looks like you are assuming the difference is culture to conclude culture is the deciding factor.[/quote]
