Chapter 5: Madelyne Huff- QTC (3)


Chapter 5: Madelyne Huff- QTC (3)

(3) You have now read several views about intelligence. What do you think about intelligence? Is it one trait or many? More heavily influenced by nature or nuture? A fixed capacity or a modifiable ability? Articulate your views in a paragraph of 3-6 sentences.

     In my opinion, intelligence is more than one trait and is influenced by a combination of both nature and nuture. While I believe genetics has more to do with one’s natural intelligence level, I believe the environment (teachers, schools, etc.) can help or hinder students’ intellectual growth. I also believe that intelligence is not a fixed capacity; instead, I believe it is a modifiable ability because I believe people intellectually change and develop throughout their entire lives.
