Does it relate to religion or does it relate to the fact that Asian countries generally emphasize education?

You can click " Education expenditure per inhabitant" and sort according to that. There you can see none of the top ten with highest iq was at that top ten.

It's not the site, it's the person who just threw religion into something the link doesn't even mention.

Well people in the same countries share the same culture and religion is a very big part of the culture. Even seemingly less religious countries, if gone back in their timeline, can be seen to be effected heavily by religion. You see, you need to go beyond superficial.

I have a friend that is in MENSA and he has been mostly unemployable all his life. Nor has he ever collected any government checks for it. He just could not seem to get to a job on time, or follow basic instructions. He was a good writer, though, and often wrote fine art criticism for national art mags ... that paid him almost nothing for them. He also would travel to universities and teach as a visiting professor, that also paid very little. He is now old and homeless/institutionalized. I suppose because his intelligence just didn't help rich people get richer. So his culture had no real use for him.

This behaviour is not a result of having a high IQ.

A lot of it was. He just had difficulty doing what he deemed unnecessary and silly things for people that weren't as smart as he is. Bosses that cared more about him showing up on time and following orders than about the actual purpose for which they were being paid didn't warrant obedience from his perspective.

One of the problems with being very intelligent is that you are surrounded by and live in a world run by stupid people. And my friend just never was able to "dummy up" to get along in the job world.

It was obviously his Ego rather then his intelligence.
He felt superior due to his intelligence but his ego made him feel and react.

Yes, he is an intelligent human. All humans have egos that tend to drive their behavior. This didn't make him less intelligent, though. Nor did it make the less intelligent people around him any smarter.

I don't get why people are always downing IQ. Yes, it is a real strength. Yes, my higher IQ does mean I'll likely understand and comprehend certain things involving "brain power" better than most. However, no one strength gets you through life, and there are different strengths.
Such as, we applaud pro athletes even though their skills just don't apply or pay the bills, outside of a professional game despite the strengths required to play well. However, that philosophy degree we love to crap on is a solid background for law school, amd you aren't passing the entrance exams for that unless you've got a good dose of that "brain power."

Most of genius is perseverance, very little of it is genetics (though that factors in). Just my view.
