>how much of it is genetic and how much is environmentalThe environment does play a pretty big part, yeah, you do have to motivate people in the right way. But I guess it just can't be helped much if the genetics factor is too strong. For mental conditions like ADHD for example, even if they were raised in the most optimal environment possible, that person is still going to have trouble in the end of things because of just how they are.
So, I suppose it's simply a case by case thing, there likely is an overall more effective method of motivating people and it definitely matters how you do it, but unfortunately some just won't be able to take much out of that still. And maybe for some specific kids, praising them for only the result would actually work out better. What goes for the majority still doesn't go for everybody.
But both can be deciding factors, someone with a slight genetic handicap could still have an easier time than somebody without it, who was raised in a way less efficient environment than the handicapped one. Might just be one of those things in life that depend on luck, more than anything else.
In my situation, I have no idea. Not diagnosed with anything and never really looked into it myself, and I don't really know what to make of the environment. Feels like it wouldn't be fair somehow to put all the blame on it. But still, I was told pretty much nothing by anybody for most of my school life, so, maybe it was a big reason indeed? Even then, I'm also pretty dumb. Inherently it feels like, so, don't know. I guess it might just be a mix of the two.
Either way, I do actually feel incapable because of my mind refusing to focus on some things rather than me not having the want or whatever, so, I'm throwing a guess that genetics have their play in my case.
