It does not mean that if you get the highest verbal IQ scores you will also have the highest visuo-spatial IQ scores, the two are subfactors of g.

"Separate lines of neuroimaging research have noted involvement of the same brain area, the parietal cortex, during tasks involving visuo-spatial processes and empathy."

They found that the critical part is the ‘intermediate’ or middle part of the hippocampus, which combines links to accurate visuo-spatial information — like the position of a car in a car park — with links to behavioural control necessary for returning to that car after a period of time.

The researchers also found that the septal end of the hippocampus, featuring links to precise visuo-spatial information, can still rapidly form an accurate place memory — as reflected by the place-related firing of neurons in this region after the rest of the hippocampus was disabled.

It is also commonly believed to be centrally involved in visuo-spatial reasoning and inventive or creative thought.

In both cases, it is claimed that although the material image in the brain is, in fact, picture-like, what actually makes it a mental image (or an idea) is not its two-dimensional neural instantiation, but its functional role in conveying visuo-spatial information to “higher” cognitive powers.

Underlying that mean in overall IQ is a consistent pattern on IQ subtests: Jews are only about average on the subtests measuring visuo-spatial skills, but extremely high on subtests that measure verbal and reasoning skills.

It is possible, I suppose, that their high visuo-spatial skills have been fostered by having to learn written Chinese; but I find it much more plausible that only people who already possessed high visuo-spatial skills would ever devise such a ferociously difficult written language.
