Chutzpah rules

"It is undeniable that...Ashkenazi Jews have high general intelligence. It is also undeniable that they are successful. But the level of Jewish financial, political and cultural success cannot be explained solely by their exceptional cognitive ability." @Bo Winegard

this links to Aporia article Does IQ alone explain Jewish success?, where they say with commendable candor

So it could be that some sort of self-deceptive positivity (e.g., chutzpah) is behind the difference, or that in rating their own personality Jews and gentiles use different reference groups. Either of these alternative interpretations would also be interesting. However, there are reasons to believe that the GFP reflects social effectiveness, and that Jews are especially socially effective.
