Good folks with mean IQ"s live happier lives?
It's likely due to genes if anything.
Genes and culture.
IQ is cultural
It's much more so about what you choose to measure.
Which is cultural, I reckon.
@Zuluzeit IQ is trying to measure how well someone will function in the US armed forces in 1925
It's a very flawed scale, yes.
Hahaha
Does IQ affect common sense🤔
They're working on it.
No one think that IQ is biological?
Unfortunately no.
Genes would be biology.
Sorry didn’t see Maws comment
In a living hell of over analysis
@busillis that was my point. If you smart enough to live in a suitable condition but not smart enough to see the issues you will be happy
@robxtom That's been a popularly controversial topic since The Bell Curve came out. Before that, it was mostly limited to specialized academics.
Is this true? I definitely feel you can inherit certain traits?
@Beth of course you can. But it is measured in what culture values. Never not biased.
You are born with certain impulses that can shape your personality
You can inherit physical traits that give you a stronger disposition one way or another.
Twin studies are interesting to look at this
But it's almost entirely cultural from that point on.
@Beth what you inherit is neuron growth. Grow-grow-branch. Grow-grow-branch. Or Grow-branch grow-branch. The more branches, the more synapsis (contact between neurons). That is where data is processed. So you inherit data capacity. Nothing else.
To my understanding.
I've noticed that family seem the past cultural tradition...
You learn something new everyday, thank you for explaining
Anecdotally of course
If you're born with a brain for math but never practice math, how can you inherit math skills?
Psychometrics endeavors to exclude personality, behavior, disposition, etc. from its data.
@Zuluzeit what’re you referring to? The Gaussian? That is the bell curve
