Now, I do not necessarily believe the studies that are dropping 90%+ results, as that is not even consistent with the cultural differences in the varying ethnicities and countries, however, these reports and studies can be used as a starting point for independent research (if you are truly interested enough, you can begin with this link - http://www.examiner.com/article/over...hority-figures. ).
