Why are Asian people smarter than other people?
<|assistant|>
There is no simple answer to this question as it is generally believed that intelligence is heavily influenced by one’s environment, lifestyle and heritage. Several studies have found that East Asian countries tend to have higher average scores on international academic tests such as the PISA (Program for International Student Assessment). Other potential factors that could contribute to higher average scores in East Asia are parental involvement and expectations for academic performance, an early focus on learning and academic achievement, cultural values that favor education, and better teaching standards. However, the exact reasons are impossible to definitively state.
