The Asian Advantage

rami18 <coco@coco.com>: Jul 20 01:16PM -0400 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."     Read more here:   https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/11/opinion/sunday/the-asian-advantage.html       Thank you, Amine Moulay Ramdane.
