Genetics are EVERYTHING. If you are low IQ it's over. Can't even moneycel. Can't even compensate for sexual failure with professional success. It's fucking over.
These researchers, from Stanford, Northwestern, and the University of Florida, analyze a large population of twins and siblings (~24k twins and ~300k children in total, born 1994-2002 in Florida). They find no evidence of SES (Socio-Economic Status) moderation of genetic influence on test scores (i.e., cognitive ability). The figure above shows the usual pattern of lower pairwise correlations in test performance between non-identical twins and ordinary sibs, consistent with strong heritability. (In figure, ICC = Intraclass Correlation = ratio of between-pair variance to total variance; SS/OS = Same/Opposite Sex.) The researchers find, via further analysis (see below), that lower SES does not decrease heritability. No large GxE effect at low SES.
