By studying monozygotic twins who are reared apart, researchers can determine the extent to which genetics or environment plays a greater role in intelligence. If the twins who were separated at birth and raised in different environments have similar intelligence scores, this would suggest a genetic influence. If the twins have vastly different intelligence scores despite having the same genetic makeup, this would suggest an environmental influence.
