IQ is affected by both genetics and environment, with genetics accounting for about 50% of IQ scores. This means there are things we inherit from our parents that can influence how we score.
Research has found specific DNA differences, called genetic variants, that seem to be linked to higher IQs. These variants don’t work alone but together can give insights into intelligence.
The Nucleus IQ score uses genetic data to predict how your DNA might influence your IQ score, reflecting the latest research in this area. It's an evolving field, and there's still much to learn about genetics and intelligence.
Understanding our DNA can help us learn more about our health and traits. It's important for everyone to have access to this information.
There are ideological debates that prevent people from getting the genetic insights they deserve. These discussions often limit how much we can learn about ourselves.
The goal is to communicate scientific knowledge clearly and truthfully. This will help us all understand genetics better and use it to improve our lives.
Genetics can help us understand traits like height and disease risks, but predicting intelligence (IQ) is much more complex and not fully possible yet.
Current genetic models can give partial insights about how genes may influence intelligence but cannot tell you your exact IQ.
As technology improves, genetic predictions for traits, including intelligence, may get better, providing more useful information about how genetics interacts with environment.
