Some, there is probably a certain cap because of genetics, like not everyone can become the next Einstein, but there is a huge gap between someone's ceiling and their floor
Intelligence is such a broad aspect of a person. Which person is smarter, the one who knows more things or the one who doesn't know as much, but has the ability to learn things quicker than the other person?
I believe twin studies have shown there is a definite genetic component to intelligence. Like everything, it's a combination of various factors.

Unless they seperated the twins and had them grow up in different environments this wouldn't really prove much

That's literally what happens though. You compare twins that grew up together vs those that didn't, as well as fraternal vs identical vs normal siblings vs control.
Of course it's inherited. Any other answer is just wrong.
Is your height mostly inherited? Maybe not if you stunted your growth.

well 26.47 perc. of this poll's respondents disagree with you
Mostly maybe. I know a lot of people who are taller than both their parents myself included.
Years of research says you're wrong >_>
It's definitely a combination of nature and nurture, but one's intelligence is not majorly determined by inherited genes.

Years of research have determined 75% is genetic, and the rest of the IQ determined by the environment. When everyone is in the same environment, it comes down to almost entirely genes.

Mostly, but there is a definite environmental component to it. Nutrition plays a big role.
