In which countries are people less intelligent than others?
<|assistant|>
In recent years, research has suggested that individuals in some countries may be less intelligent than others. Studies have shown that individuals in the United States, Canada and countries in southern Europe tend to score lower on measures of general knowledge and cognitive testing than those in North East Asian countries such as Japan and China. In addition, scores on standardized tests for academic performance also show that students in the US and Canada generally perform worse than those in Europe, Japan, and China. These differences in academic achievement appear to be at least partly due to differences in cultural and educational backgrounds as well as access to resources, rather than inherent intellectual differences between individuals.
