When considering this topic I think that we must take several things in to account first of which is the fact that we are that first off we have the ability to develop 40-80 percent of are IQ. This to me represents a substantial proportion of are IQ. But in addition to that number that I would argue that some of that portion (the 20-60% that is inherited ) is in fact contributed to social circumstances, the Study habits that are developed as a child, the dinner time conversations , the environment that the come from( i.e. was there enough to eat, and what was there to eat studies have show that what I child eats not only if there is enough to eat effects there Intelligence). So I would theorize that the developable part of the IQ is some where in the 60-90% range.
But the real questions is how importation it IQ, I for one believe that IQ is a very pore way of measuring Intelligence. I do like the point that Seth brought out about using are strengths to over come the rising level of technical intelligence that is now coming out of Asia. I for one believe that the intelligence that will be needed to succeed in this rapidly changing world is street smarts. By this I mean the ability to adapt to the ever change market place and have the guts and wisdom to grab an opportunity when it comes around. I Just caution people not to take IQ to seriously, for the some reason that grades to not always reflect some ones understanding of a subject, I believe that bolt are feeble yard sticks of ones ability to succeed in life.

Pure and complete sorrow is as impossible as pure and complete joy.
