This trait heritability has been estimated at about 50%.
This is probably because of the way we think about traits. A trait in biological terms refers to something that is present in all or most of the people you know. Therefore, 50% of traits are present in everyone. We tend to use some traits as a measure of a person’s “genetic merit,” and others as a measure of their ability to perform a task.
The reason that this trait heritability has been estimated is because we don’t know how many people have traits. The reason we don’t know how many people have traits is because we don’t know how many traits are present.
In order to measure traits, we need to know how many people have traits and how many people will have traits. We can be quite lazy. We know when we have a trait. We know how many traits are present. We know when we have a trait and how many traits are present.
We are not lazy. We don’t simply read off of Wikipedia, we actually go and interview people and ask them what traits they have. We ask people how many traits are present in their bodies and how many traits are present in their minds and we work backwards and see if we can determine what it is that we want to know. We can’t just tell people we want to know what they have, because we dont know what that is.
For instance, we dont know what a trait is. We can only define it by asking people what it is that they would like to know. We are not lazy. We have to ask people what they would like to know. If we asked people to write a sentence that included a trait, then we know what the trait is. If we ask people to write a sentence that did not include a trait, then we dont know what the trait is. The same thing goes for intelligence.
And we cant just tell people that they have it when they have it. It has to be the trait of an individual. If they had a trait, then people wouldnt have to write a sentence containing the trait.
As we’ve found in the past, when people write a sentence, they are more likely to be a trait person than a trait person. People who are good at one thing and not good at another are much more likely to be a trait person than a trait person.
The idea of “trait heritability” is that we need to estimate how much a trait is determined by a person’s genes. That’s an estimate we can make very quickly and that’s the whole point of this study. The whole point is to see whether we can get an estimate for the average person of the trait, rather than the trait itself.
