智商是影响人们成功与否的重要因素。你知道影响人的智商的因素有哪些吗?下面的文章会告诉你答案。
Are some people born clever,and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough,the answer to both these questions is yes. On the one hand our intelligence is given to us at birth,and special education can never make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand,a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings.

It is easy to say that intelligence is something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people,the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people from the population,it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins,they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters,parents and children,usually have similar intelligence,and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
Imagine that now we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one,for example,to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing,and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other but are not related at all are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.
