If both parents have IQ 135, What would be their children's?

Answer 1

Most likely 135 unless the children are mentally retarded. It's possible to raise and/or lower an IQ (playing and interacting with infants will raise it, leaving them to sit will lower it) so it will probably vary, but not too far, from 135.

Answer 2

There's no way to predict this from the parents' IQs. Likely the children's' IQs would be above normal which is 100 but the parents' high IQs wouldn't necessarily produce children with higher IQs. There's a thing called regression toward the mean which means, for example, that exceptionally tall parents will likely have children who are shorter than them. Since the parents mentioned here have high IQs but not exceptionally high IQs, it is impossible to predict what IQs their children will have.

Answer 3

Are you serious? Each person's IQ is measured for that particular person, if we could predetermine IQ then we could predetermine things like eye color and height as well... that's just not possible at this point in technology as we know it.

Answer 4

135 + 135 = 270. Geesh, THAT was easy.

Answer 5

IQ is a measure of how well you process information in a certain period of time, not a measure of intelligence. It's not determined by genetics.

Answer 6

IQ is an out dated concept.

Answer 7

mmmm. no crystal ball here.
providing that the children are healthy with normal birth,
probably within a reasonable range of the parents.
But they could be retarded or a genius.
Fortunately genetics is not an exact science......yet.

Answer 8

If two people had IQ's that high and got together they wouldn't be having kids.
