Note. rMZ= monozygotic twin correlation; rDZ = dizygotic (only same-sex twins are included) twin correlation; a2 = the proportion of variance due to additive genetic effects; d2 = the proportion of variance due to non-additive genetic effects; c2 = the proportion of variance due to shared environments; e2 = the proportion of variance due to non-shared environments; n = number of complete twin pairs. Self-evaluation was reported by children; Mathematics achievement was assessed by teachers according to the National Curriculum. 95% confidence intervals are included in parentheses.
