What do you mean by intelligence and conscientiousness? If you are referring to IQ scores, yes it seems there’s a factor that’s inherited. For intelligence, I would like to know your definition and the research you are basing it on.
Even for IQ scores it‘s not so clear, as our measure of IQ is variable and there are no longitudinal studies to my knowledge showing what you claim.
- JamesBarney 8y agoThere are a bunch of longitudinal iq studies which show a large erfect. And by conscientiousness I meant the big 5 psychology measure which also has large longitudinal studies.
- kgarten 8y agoIQ is not intelligence. For the longitudinal iq studies, check how they measured IQ (spoiler: it changes ;) ).
- JamesBarney 8y agoAre you arguing that iq isn't correlated with success?
- kgarten 7y agoStudies also show that height and IQ are correlated. The question is what does it mean ;)
