When you spawn in the game you get points to distribute in intellect, strength, and wealth.

It is partially genetic and partially not.

It's said that 50% of whites are smarter than the top 20% of blacks, sooooo...

Okay Jews aren't white but Italians and Americans in colonial times were

For the most part, yes. From the one psych course I ever took, I remember something about your maximum intellectual capacity/range being capped by genetics, though your environment and decisions determine where you end up within that preset range.

you're forgetting the creativity factor

How do you explain fat kids who follow their moms cart full of frozen raviolis and pizza rolls around walmart?

They will never say: mom we need to start getting in shape and do something with our lives before we die early and I have my own kids that will go through this same cycle

>everything that hurts my feelings is /pol/

Fuck off, baby. It's time to grow up.

i believe most people have more than enough capabilities, so the cap is not really a problem for them, it just painful to think.

It's 100% genetic, and it is the perfect measurement of intelligence as well as the single best predictor of success in all aspects of life.

Brainded fatties

I'd say yeah. Is it absolutely hereditary? No.

Jaco Barnett's IQ is attributive towards his autism, which is a genetic trait, but his parents aren't 170 IQ wielding astrophysicists either. Mom's smart, I assume. She wrote a book.

>The findings suggest that autism’s development is “more like height than we thought — many small risk factors add up, each pushing a person further out on the spectrum," adds co-author Kathryn Roeder, of Carnegie Mellon University.

Means it isn't really "hereditary."

Also IQ isn't a static value. One can increase one's IQ through various means, such as meditation, image streaming, a particular qi gong practice, brain training and, well, more. Lots more, I assume. Not hereditary

Firstly we have to assume that IQ is a real estimator of intelligence (I don't think so).

Then, I think it is clear that it would be a trait with complex heritance. That means that the statistical variance of the trait has two major parts being one of them due to environmental factors and the other to genetic factors.

That basically means that both environment and genetics are involved and probably interact (we geneticists say that environment is everything that is no genetic).

So you cannot say that is a mendelian trait but for sure it has an hereditary part.
