I would expect the same since Cluster C is the anxiety cluster and
Northeast Asian is the anxiety race. Also, we should note that high
Openness is an important factor for both scientific-creativity and
schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, and that Nordic Whites tend to be
over-achievers in original science. Perhaps a strong hypothesis might
claim:

Whites: Cluster A
Blacks: Cluster B
Northeast Asians: Cluster C

If sound data and reasoning can back this up, this might make an
excellent addition to the next revision of Rushton's *Race, Evolution
and Behavior*.

Thanks for bringing this up, Mark.

P.S. There seem to be a lot of Jews in Hollywood, in verbal current-
events media, and in the business world acting quite Histrionic and
Narcissistic (Cluster B PDs). But Jews are (as Woody Allen points out
frequently) extremely neurotic (Cluster C PDs) and also hyper-prone
to joining cults (a Cluster A behavior). I wonder where they might
fit into this and if they tend to favor one PD cluster over another.
