Not the ones I have met in my field. They are certainly not smarter than the Asians or certain WASPS. The only advantage they have is a sociological structure that values education and advancement. Ashkenazi Jews are beneficiaries of the European Reformation and Industrial Revolution. How come Jews in Dark Age Europe did not manage to contribute anything to human civilization? Look at the pioneers of modern Western Civilization: Galileo, Copernicus, Darwin, Newton. All of them upended prevailing dogmas at great personal risk and none of them were Jewish. The pattern of Jewish advancement can only be seen towards the latter part of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. Also note that Sephardic Jews have not acheived the same amount of academic success, maybe pointing to the backward countries they come from; which implies that the success of the Jewish minority depends on the success of the overall society they live in.

This whole proposition of supposed Jewish superiority is nothing but racism and wishful thinking.
