Is iq genetic

[mattzdeb]

I feel like being able to analyze and interpret problems is something your born with . For example some people will be faced with a problem or a future task and then they will subconsciously Analyze it and know which courses of action will lead to which outcomes . They just make connections across their mind easily. It’s as if the analysis just Comes to a smart persons mind where as someone not as bright would say “hey I would of never thought of that”. How would you even train iq? You can always increase vocabulary and different skills but this true analytical iq that puts you above all the rest is something I feel you can’t train and if anyone thinks you can I would like to .

iirc it's 60-80% genetic depending on which studies you believe.

The sad thing is intelligence is inherited from the mother.

Some studies say 20-40%, others say more.

Partly. However, like many genetic traits, you need a facilitative environment to ensure those traits reach their maximum potential.
