IQ is mostly invariant of behavior, and absent gross brain injury, is largely fixed over one's lifetime.

- switchbak 7y agoI'm having trouble reconciling your statement with what I've heard of a variety of behaviours. Having a bad night sleep has a very measurable effect on IQ, and I'm sure there's many others (stress included). Do you have any sources for that bold claim?
- tedivm 7y agoThis is absolutely not true. There are multiple factors which have been proven to affect an individual's IQ over time- * Schooling, * How stimulating their environment is, * Nutrition, * Disease (although this is generally towards the negative). All of these can be influenced by behavior- people's eating habits affect their nutrition, and people who seek out intellectual stimulation are more likely to find it than those who don't.
