Intelligence is a critical behavioral quantity which is governed by bio-psycho-sociological factors. Intellect can be defined as a phenomenon that constitutes the power of mind to execute a thinking behavior with reasoning ability for the purpose of gaining knowledge. However, intelligence even today is a very abstract concept and not all psychologists agree to each other.
Intelligence can be of various types. To put it simple, your sister might have an artistic instinct which you don’t have. Again you might have a good player instinct that your sister might not have. So it is really difficult to design any particular scale to measure one's level of intelligence.
With the advancement of the field of genetics, more and more researchers are now taking interest in finding out the genetic base of intelligence. We all know that both genetic factors and environmental factors have a strong influence on intelligence. Quite obviously, this makes intelligence a complex trait. We are not yet able to discover much how the quantity and quality of gene affects intelligence.
Different biogenetic studies suggest that monozygotic twins (MZ) show higher degree of correlation between intelligence and behavioral changes than dizygotic twins (DZ). The correlation between DNA sequence and behavioral difference is causal in natural, since DNA variations may influence the c change in behavioral pattern, but behavioral disparity does not lead to change in DNA sequence. There is still a strong debate, nature vs. nurture, when it comes to many psychological behaviors like intelligence.
