On the sources of the height-intelligence correlation: new insights from a bivariate ACE model with assortative mating.

Behavior genetics - 1 Mar 2011

Abstract excerpt

A robust positive correlation between height and intelligence, as measured by IQ tests, has been established in the literature. This paper makes several contributions toward establishing the causes of this association. First, we extend the standard bivariate ACE model to account for assortative mating. The more general theoretical framework provides several key insights, including formulas to decompose a...
