    Reading through the paper, but this caught my eye

    >A recent Norwegian twin panel study reported on five measures of SES, quantifying the genetic component to 34%–47% and the shared family environment to 16%. The remainder of environmental variance usually consist of largely individual experiences and measurement errors.

    Sure sounds like they’re saying *half* of the data doesn’t count, which is… suspicious?

    How did you arrive at that conclusion.

    Its not just nurture all the time, it could be nature as well.

    IQ is influenced by both genes and environment (nature + nurture).

    Individual IQ differences are partly heritable.

    I am agree that there is no solid evidence that average IQ differences between ethnic groups are genetically determined.

    But absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

    To my understanding, the original study doesn’t state anywhere that genetic factors play a larger role in educational and occupational success.

    How does the author of the article arrive at this conclusion?

  4. Well, yea, given everyone has equal access to everything, the smartest people are probably going to be the most successful. Seems like the study undercuts the entire premise by removing or normalizing the variable they are examining (i.e. environmental factors in Sweden).
