Question : What does IQ mean for people?

Most psychologist believe that IQ tests measure a general quality that affects all aspects of mental ability but the test have many critics. Some argue that intelligence comes in many varieties. IQ tests can be culturally biased, tapping mostly those abilities that depend on experience in a middle-class environment and favouring rich families over poor families.
What do you think?

Does high intelligence quotient mean you have smart genes or your bringing has any contribution to it?
