As there are multiple concepts of Intelligence, IQ is just one form of measurement. it's a scale to measure certain aspects of intelligence, was developed in western societies and might thus be biased to measure certain features you only learn if you grow up in a western society (there are intercultural studies for example on the differences in style of thinking between western and eastern societies. Westerners tend to analyze by fragmentation, as in "split the problem in a variety of minor problems, analyse the basic elements to understand the whole" while easterners tend to view problems in a more holistic way as in "see the problem and it's context to solve it"). This of course might explain some differences in the results of said scale, especially when it comes down to logic and problem solving.
So is intelligence determined by genes? Yes, mostly. But just being born with a lot of it does not mean you will be smart. it can be seen as a potential. Is it inherited? not so much. The dumbest parents can have the brightest kids and the opposite is possible as well. Also there is no difference between what you would probably call races (despite some differences in analytical style in collectivist vs. individualist societies). In fact, the differences within ethnicities are much larger than between, and many modern myths regarding the topic stem from biased tests used to prove that black americans are dumber than their white counterparts.
Is IQ genetic?

are you saying that the SAT math test is biased?

Well, the origins of those examinations used biased tests (as we know now). Today's differences in scores can be explained as well. One huge factor is socoeconomic status, as well as Stereotype Threat (you may google this yourself).
These "scientists" are always eager to embarrass themselves over and over and over and over and over again.
>differences within ethnicities are much larger than between
honestly I expected better from Veeky Forums
>Actual proof that nonhuman animals are limited in intellect by their genetic makeup
>Retards still think humans arent the same as well
>muh nurture
Bullshit, unless your base intellect is high enough you will always be a dumbass.
>muh socioeconomic factors
Organize SAT by race and wealth, you'll just be surprised, nigger
That would show that there is a clear economic impact. We are talking about socioeconomics, which is economics, plus many social/societal factors.
>In fact, the differences within ethnicities are much larger than between
That's Bull shit. Just look around. Just like Dog Breeds. Each dog breed has its own distinctive characteristic appearance & gene markers.
2 Rottweilers will always look more alike than comparing a Rottweiler with a Poodle. Each breed has its distinct size, appearance & psychological characteristics such as aggressivity.
>Dogs Breeds are similar to Human races.
Each Ethnic group have its own distinct characteristics DNA/genres/genetic code, ancestry, culture, language, beliefs & ideology.
