Flynn Effect
Whether the potential is inherited or not, it seems likely that the majority of people do not reach their full potential IQ. There is a general observation - the "Flynn Effect" - that the IQ scores of a population increase over time. Whatever the full explanation of the effect it is likely that this represents an improved development of potential.
