[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s mostly innate iq and innate math ability. Twin and adoption studies prove this. Either your brain has it or it doesn’t. Pick your breeding partners wisely. [/quote]

I tried. My DH was a math major at an Ivy League school, but my kids are average in math. [/quote]

Sorry to be the bearer of the news but intelligence is most often on the mother— not the father. [/quote]

Can you stop perpetuating this myth, thanks[/quote] It's true though. Child IQ is more strongly correlated with mother's IQ than father's [/quote]

Kids’ IQs are actually related to both. However, plenty of high IQ men will marry dumb women. High IQ women will usually only marry smart men though. So practically speaking, the IQ of the kid is linked with the IQ of the mother in the sense that it’s rare for a smart kid to have a dumb mother.

In my own life, I know two families of very high IQ kids, and they both have very high IQ mothers too.[/quote] Studies control for the IQs of both parents.[/quote]
