I don't think that Asians think in such straight line terms as logic dictates though.

I'm sure Thai's would score very highly on the Emotional Intelligence side of things, perhaps its just that logic comes second to keeping the status quo socially.

We Farangs tend to think in very definite X + Y = Z terms, where even very intelligent Thais think in a much less restrictive manner (to put it nicely).

Also how much does language effect an IQ test, the Thai language is very undescriptive and illogical, with the same word meaning 30 different things sometimes irregardless of its place in a sentance, conversation etc... does this lack of definition in the language make it more difficult do you think?
