There was a well-done post here perhaps a year ago, from an asian setting the record straight on asian "high IQ scores." There is no truth to asians having statistically higher IQs than caucasians. The culture in asia (mostly China) is such that the status from having high test scores is much, much more beneficial than the consequences of being discovered as a cheat. Therefore, cheating is accepted and expected, and not punished. This can be seen in all areas of Chinese commerce and manufacturing as well.
The only difference scholastically in asian test scores can be attributed to unusual discipline amongst certain sectors of the population, but that is a reflection upon parenting and upbringing, and familial expectations, not IQ.

>Just one of many examples is Sogen Kato, who was thought to be Japan’s oldest living person until his mummified remains were discovered in 2010.

>The government then launched a review which found that 82 percent of Japan’s centenarians — 230,000 people — were missing or dead.
