LOL at libs who think environmental factors explain why some kids are dumb and unmotivated. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3272198&forum_id=2#30833010) |

Date: July 1st, 2016 4:12 PM Author: hyperventilating nibblets mental disorder This issue has already been discussed in The Bell Curve, one of the best pieces of scholarship in the 20th Century.
In it, they conclude that intelligence is 40-80% hereditary, with environmental factors making up the remainder.
Sounds about right. |

Date: July 1st, 2016 4:16 PM Author: Arousing Mediation Rehab the problem is that libs think a good environment means a stable household with attentive parents. in reality, family environment does not affect adult IQ even moderately. the variance in IQ unexplained by genetic factors seems to be developmental noise. pouring money into programs like Head Start to equalize environmental conditions is largely pointless (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3272198&forum_id=2#30833117) |

Date: July 1st, 2016 4:27 PM Author: Talented pit knife 1) sure, but it's not noise. 2) maybe. haven't seen anything where cognitive gains fade from 18 to later adulthood, only childhood vs adulthood |

Date: July 1st, 2016 4:30 PM Author: Startled foreskin when do IQs stabilize? is it at 18? if it's more like 25, then you might still see those differences relating to childhood environment at 18 (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3272198&forum_id=2#30833200) |

Date: July 1st, 2016 4:34 PM Author: Arousing Mediation Rehab this study is an anomaly. there have been others and the general conclusion is that SFE doesn't matter by the age of 17-18. you can mold people for a little while, but their genetic predispositions will eventually dominate environmental inputs.

Date: July 1st, 2016 4:28 PM Author: Arousing Mediation Rehab well it is true. there have been a number of large scale studies on this, and the bulk of the evidence shows that by late adolescence shared family environment explains close to 0% of the variance in IQ.
