Genetic “General Intelligence,” Objectively Determined and Measured
2019-09-12
Abstract excerpt
It has been known for 125 years that, in humans, diverse cognitive traits are positively intercorrelated; this forms the basis for the general factor of intelligence ( g ). We directly test for a genetic basis for g using data from seven different cognitive tests (N = 11,263 to N = 331,679) and genome-wide autosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms. A genetic g factor accounts for 58.4% (SE = 4.8%) of the geneti...
