the average person from hong kong and singapore apparently has an iq of 108 (according to some random website on google).

That's interesting and I wonder if it's related to how the education focuses on like test-taking skill so much.

Because over there, especially in Hong Kong, all the youth does is study for tests. It's not even studying to learn or to problem-solve but to get answers correct on tests.

I doubt that's the case.

The website that I was on (which I don't imagine is a good source) was saying how the study was done by some chaps and they concluded that this is why some countries develop really well and others don't (lots of shitty countries do awfully, some in the 60s). What poop said about smaller concentrated areas of smart people probably has some effect.

What you talk about is true to some extent about other nationalised tests. For example some asian countries do a good job of excluding the lower end of possible applicants to take the test and taking the tests is seen as a great honour that you work hard towards. In other countries, like the UK, they are seen as a complete pain in the arse and the kids hate it.

There is still a lot that can be taken from those type of international tests though you just have to get the context right. A lot of Maths scores for example show some asian countries doing really well and they have things you can learn from but the culture difference makes it quite hard to just copy and paste practises whereas other similar countries do better than others yet are very similar in culture so it's easier to compare what is/isn't working at that time.
