Is IQ genetically determined, or a product of education and context?

[Anonymous No.9752063]

>>9752059
Of course it's genetic.
Humans didn't just climb out of the tree's and start doing quantum physics by accident.
Intelligence was selected for over lots of time.

[Anonymous No.9752064]

IQ IS GENETIC

[Anonymous No.9752065]

With the analogy of a rabbit best exemplifying this. Why is it that a rabbit is unable to learn mathematics and quantum physics? Why is that a rabbit is incapable of reading a book? Why can't a rabbit produce abstract complex sounds with what ever mouth it has and contemplate suicide?

[Anonymous No.9752068]

>>9752065 Assuming the rabbit has all of it's biological needs met, the answer would be GENETICS.

[Anonymous No.9752073]

Its a bit of all of those things, but sadly there are extremists on all sides who says it has to be 100% genetic or 100% environment. The validity of IQ itself is questionable to say the least.

>>9752073 Can you teach a rabbit basic arithmetic dumbass? If the answer is no then why is that?

[Anonymous No.9752080]

>>9752077
Can you play piano when I cut off your hands faggot? Why is that? Is it because your parents have shitty genes?

[Anonymous No.9752082]

>>9752080 The answer was GENETICS, but you tried raisin head.

[Anonymous No.9752087]

>>9752080 Also good job on making a false dichotomy you dumb half wit knuckle dragging retard.

[Anonymous No.9752088]

>>9752082
The answer was ENVIRONMENT, but you tried boomer boi

[Anonymous No.9752089]

>>9752059
Why do you think the two are mutually exclusive?

[Anonymous No.9752091]

>>9752088 So the reason rabbits are incapable of doing basic arithmetic is because of the environment they are raised in?

[Anonymous No.9752096]

So the reason you eat poop after I shit in your mouth is genetic right?

Hahahahaha is your comparative reasoning so weak you can't see my question was structured the exact same way as your retarded question. If your analogy is valid, so is mine, and as the consequences are conflicting the premise is illogical.

Rabbits cannot fucking talk and we don't know if they cannot do arithmetic.

[Anonymous No.9752143]

>>9752141 You have to be trolling or something, surely no one can be this fucking stupid.

[Anonymous No.9752145]

>>9752065
rabbit can't speak

[Anonymous No.9752149]

>>9752145 So why can't the rabbit speak?

[Anonymous No.9752159]

>>9752149
So why can't humans fly or dive for more than a few minutes?

[Anonymous No.9752184]

>>9752159 Because of genetics, which is the answer to the question you're replying to. IQ is genetic.

[Anonymous No.9752190]

ability to learn is genetically determined. IQ is some man-made numbers.

[Anonymous No.9752246]

>>9752059
Think of it like this: The peak potential is genetic, but you can still get fucked by malnourishment, inhaling solvents, being dropped on the head as a child, and so on.

[Anonymous No.9752248]

IQ is like 80% genetic.

See: twin studies.

[Anonymous No.9752464]

Genetic potential doesn't necessarily equal expressed ability. Look at the anon posting all the wojaks and prattling about muh rabbits. He was probably very bright in school, but has become quite retarded. Genetics, while involved, were not to blame. There's no gene for your library being well-funded

[Anonymous No.9752480]

>>9752073
Validity as well as reliability of IQ as a measure of general question has been shown beyond any reasonable doubt.
If you wish to contest this, do so.

>>9752059
It is genetically determined roughly 60% to my knowledge (on average) if I remember correctly. The rest is nurture. Both factors vary per person, obviously.

[Anonymous No.9752608]

>>9752059

Your max IQ potential is genetic but if you are at max or minimum of your personal potential is determined by practice and education

[Anonymous No.9752661]

Seriously, all IQ threads should be moved to >>>/x/

[Anonymous No.9753354]

IQ is mostly genetic.

im sorry if you're stupid but maybe you're better off that way

[Anonymous No.9753385]

>>9752661
Unironically this. /sci/ could be so much better if it weren't obsessed with the IQ meme.

[Anonymous No.9753404]

>>9752089
This. Also, genetic differences are caused by the environment anyway since the environment (a vague term) drives natural selection. Social roles can also change genetics in instances such as sexual selection. The dichotomy is just oversimplified brainlet pop science.

Finally a brother of African descent who speaks the truth.
Like most traits, the intelligence is both hereditary and a product of context.
