Here is a quote from the study:
> However, for intelligence, heritability increases linearly, from (approximately) 20% in infancy to 40% in adolescence, and to 60% in adulthood. Some evidence suggests that heritability might increase to as much as 80% in later adulthood but then decline to about 60% after age 80.
It does not corroborate the claim "Intelligence is largely (~70-80% of variance) inherited".
- NoImmatureAdHom 5y agoThat sounds right on the money to me? Variance in all traits is higher in childhood. The idea is that you grow into your mostly pre-determined self.
- bjourne 5y agoNo, it's not on the money. Do you really not see the numerical discrepancy?
