most of the time, it really depends on the country culture and up-bringing.... and intelligent is subjective...

Say if we city people goes into jungle, our intelligent would only lead us to starvation, but bushmen have a higher intelligent in jungle to survive.

From what I know about India, the place is very competitive to the extend you have to say "You know and can do it" even if you know nuts about the stuff.

In Singapore, the culture is so kiasu to the extend you have to excel in education... same goes to Korean culture

As for Jews, just read to understand Jew Culture

I've read previously that intelligent have some correlation to number of languages a person can communicate
