If IQ tests are 'culturally biased', then we would expect the highest scoring group to share the same culture as the test writers. The highest scoring group does not share the same culture as the test writers (for instance, East Asians score higher than White Americans). This seems to be strong evidence that IQ tests are not 'culturally biased'.
East Asians in America or East Asians in East Asia?
The former, IIRC.
Both, actually.
Average IQ
Uh, two to three points is noise. Edit: er, possibly. What was the sample size?
In any case, it is clear evidence against the 'cultural bias' hypothesis.
Richard Lynn, Race Differences in Intelligence (2006) refers to a study with n = ~2000 for whites in US getting IQ 103 and a study with n = ~1000 (plus several with n = ~500) for Japanese in Japan getting IQ 105.
