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 questions is yesTo some extent our intelligence is given to us at birthand no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligenceOn the other handa child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundingsThus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birthbut whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environmentThis view, now held by most expertscan be supported in a number of ways

   It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born withThe closer the blood relationship between two peoplethe closer they are likely to be in intelligenceThus if we take two unrelated people at random from the populationit is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely differentIf on the other hand we take two identical twinsthey will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sistersparents and childrenusually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth

   Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environmentsWe might send onefor exampleto a university and the other to a factory where the work is boringWe would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a partThis conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who lives in close contact with each other, but who are not related at allare likely to have similar degrees of intelligence
