We took a sample of parental IQS
and plotted childrens' IQs against
their mothers'
However, can a mother finishing high
school mean a higher IQ for their child?
Additionally, we wanted to explore whether or not there is any observable relationship between a child's IQ
and the age at which their mother gave birth. Each point on the line shows the average IQ score
of children born to mothers of a specific age.
"In the mid 20th century, a study was conducted that tracked down identical twins that were separated at birth: one child was raised in the home of their biological parents and the other in a foster home. In an attempt to answer the question of whether intelligence is result of nature or nurture, both children were given IQ tests."
What do you think impacts IQ more: Nature or Nurture?
