Science has not yet defined the exact percentage of intelligence that can be attributed to genetics compared to the environment. Estimates vary, suggesting that between 50% to 80% of intelligence may be genetic. Based on the GIP report, I conclude, for now, that any of these percentages may be valid, depending on the individual. There is a homeostatic pattern that can be understood ambiguously, using the angular coefficient. A person with a high genetic predisposition for a higher IQ has a limit on a graph relative to the genes associated with a high IQ. In this case, the environmental impact becomes smaller.
Based on this pattern, we can identify different types of cases. The elasticity of the environmental factor depends on polygenic factors and sentinel variants; it is multifactorial and complex, but possible to determine. There are also compensatory factors, genes that influence other regions and assist in genetic expression. There are potent SNPs that influence giftedness.
Therefore, in a hypothetical example, a person could have an 80% genetic predisposition and not explore environmental factors as much due to the limits imposed by genetic nuances. In contrast, an individual with a 60% genetic predisposition may have a greater capacity to explore the environment. But, as I mentioned, this depends on many factors. A deep understanding of genetics is necessary to accurately interpret what is being said here.
The point is that there are sentinel variants related to giftedness, and this is my main area of research. One of these variants is in the ADAM12 gene.
An important factor is that genes encoding variants prone to higher intelligence act as propellants, with environmental factors serving as additions for evolution.
For example, imagine a video game with the same scenario, the same car, and the same person playing. Along the way, there are fruits, meats, jumps, and speed boosts that add points and brain development. If the player performs better in one game than in another, they will achieve better results.
In other words, a gene more prone to intelligence will find more arguments in environmental factors to increase intelligence. Curiosity itself, as a primary factor, will result in more searches for greater intelligence.
