Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the two assertions of hereditarianism and environmentalism in the intellectual abilities, which is one of the most important factors of giftedness, and thus to discuss and understand giftedness. As the result of various investigations about the two opposing opinions, it is general view that about 50% of the intellectual abilities are endowed by genetic factors, but they are not fixed life long but changed and developed by posterior experiences. In other word, it is said that giftedness itself of which an important factor is intellectual abilities is determined by heredity, but the degree of revelation of the potential faculty is determined by environmental factors. Therefore, the recent major concerns in this field seem to be on how to make unfold most the children's giftedness rather than arguments about the degree of genetic and environmental factors. It can be said that giftedness is sprung up and accelerated only when an excellent genetic factor and a special environmental factor are transacted dynamically and amplified exquisitely.
