Sub, would you happen to have source for SAT scores of NRI kids? And also a source that shows correlation between GRE score and IQ? What would you say average Indian IQ is (or could be)? Disregarding factors like nutrition and living condition. Also I have noticed different religious groups, even of same ethnicity have highly different IQs, so religion also plays a role.

2001 UPDATE: SATs and Religion
The affiliations that rank as the top 10 based on average SAT scores
of college bound seniors last year, all races.
1. 1209 Unitarian Universalist Association
2. 1161 Judaism [The Jews]
3. 1153 Quaker
4. 1110 Hinduism [Indo Americans][right][snapback]81445[/snapback][/right]
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->All the less evangelising christian variations (UUA; and the Quakers who were the sole christian group that was pro-abolition), and of course the non-evangelising Judaism and Hindu Dharma. Also UUA and Quakers encouraged more independent thought and critical thinking than other christian sects.

Check out the IQ test at the beginning of the 2nd part, his scores fluctuate wildly depending on the task.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Thanks I will.
I read that Einstein was told by his maths teacher in Germany that he'd never do well in the subject. Then again, he famously said that when his theory of relativity (special or general, I don't remember) was taken over by the mathematicians, <i>he</i> couldn't understand it anymore either.
Some say Einstein was a savant. Others say he was dyslexic. Maybe both are true. In any case, one famous dyslexic person was a cryptologist who could IIRC both encrypt things such that computers could not (yet) decrypt them, and decrypt things that computers could not (yet) decrypt or would take very long to.
