Chapter 9
This chapter was particularly interesting because it explained how intelligence is impacted and how it can be passed on or related between people. For siblings that are blood adn raised together the intelligence level differs from the intelligence levels of siblings that don't live together. I thought it was weird to find out how the higher level of related genes you have to someone resembles both of your IQ's. I thought that it just solely depended on how you learned and just your environment, I didn't really put that much thought into that your genes actually do have a huge role in the IQ level.

What are some examples of how intelligence is impacted? How much does it differ by?
ReplyDeleteI agree with the statment "this chapter is particularly interesting"
It is absolutely astonishing how your IQ can be altared simply by the people that are around you. A couple of crazy facts i found online (http://www.intelligencetest.com/trivia/facts2.htm)
An analysis of 1 million students in a New York school district showed that school cafeteria food affected IQ scores to an astonishing degree. When preservatives, coloring, dyes and artificial flavors were removed from the cafeteria menu researchers found that 70,000 students performed two or more IQ grade levels higher than before.
IQ tests can’t measure all forms of intelligence. It’s widely agreed that standardized tests can’t measure all forms of intelligence including creativity, wisdom, practical sense and social sensitivity.
Wow, that is very interesting actually! But it can be impacted simply by, as you said, who you hang out with, your family, even how smart your parents are! But also it is your own job to study and learn things on your own to become smarter.
