Obviously, the culture is important too and Western culture is superior to Eastern culture that is perhaps an explanation. However, the scientist Michio Kaku in his book "The Future of the Mind" does a pretty good job of eviscerating the concept of IQ as a valid measure of intelligence. Just like genetics went through a Golden age in in the 90s, with the human genome project, neuroscience is now in a golden age with the BRAIN project etc... and in the future we are likely to have better measures of intelligence than the flawed concept of IQ.
