Just like skin colour, it has been well established that IQ inheritance is polygenic, but environmental factors play a significant role in alteration of this mode of inheritance, which also include dietary, health and well-being That means children who are born with inherited high IQ may be subjected to decline of their IQ due to environmental, infection, or dietary factors, irrespective of the level of parental IQ Therefore it remains the resposibility of the parents and government to protect children and bring them up in a favourable conditions, an issue which deeply touch in socio-economical factor, this is a clear evidence of the difference between the 3rd world countries and the developed world To date we have not had any studies which differentiate between visual and auditory IQ, I hope that can be done in the near future  polygenic inheritance, Normal distribution curve of dark skin colour |

Thanks for an interesting post. I was able to find some good studies related to differentiation between visual and auditory IQ. 1. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3182388/ 2. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1207/S15326942DN2103_5 3. http://www.gifteddevelopment.com/Visual_Spatial_Learner/vsl.htm |
