CoyoteTheGreat 04/28/24 6:04:57 PM #8:	Intelligence is a combination of traits. Like, a person with a great memory might come across as very unintelligent to people, even though having a great memory is one of the traits that makes up intelligence. Likewise, a person with high social skills might come across as very intelligent in spite of not having a bunch of other traits just because they can fake the things that people outwardly see as intelligence. There basically is no great way to really determine how intelligent someone really is. Its a bunch of cultural factors. Some of the things those cultural factors judge are inherited and some of it is based on a person's hard work, it isn't genetically deterministic. --- Disobedience is the stamp of the hero. -Ragnar Redbeard Also, this is Kagata.. <cite>CoyoteTheGreat posted [p:980141923] in Do you bel...

ai123 04/29/24 10:11:13 AM #18:	Guide posted... Pretty sure it's a known medical fact already. Personality traits are also heritable. There's a recent study that indicates personality is not largely inherited. https://www.earth.com/news/personality-traits-are-not-strongly-inherited-from-parents/ With intelligence, I think a lot of it comes down to the expectations and priorities of the parents. Intelligent parents may be more focused on a child's education and learning, more able to support them, and make better use of the system. So their kids come out looking intelligent themselves. --- 'Vinyl is the poor man's art collection'. <cite>ai123 posted [p:980151297] in Do you bel...

firedoom666 04/29/24 11:16:15 AM #23:	I think intelligence is more based on your upbringing. So sure. Stupid parents are more likely to have stupid kids, but a smart parent not spending the time teaching and caring for their kid will also make a stupid kid. And sometimes a kid with dumb parents might find a school program or some other reason to better themselves and focus on intelligence --- We're on a journey to forever!
