Success in life depends on intelligence, which is measured by IQ tests (see Do IQ Tests Really Measure Intelligence?). However, new research with MRI suggests that the integrity of neural wiring (which is inheritable) is a big factor in determining intelligence (see Is Intelligence Inheritable?)

Yet, intelligence can be influenced by a number of factors, including diet and schooling. Parents and teachers play a dominant role in intelligence.

Read “How to Raise Our IQ” (via nytimes.com) or listen to Professor Richard Nisbett’s lecture on “Intelligence and How to Get It” (via odeo.com).
