All differences between individuals may be best interpreted by the facts of heredity or nature, training and environment or nature. These are some of the cause of individual differences:

Race – There are some differences in behavior among different races. Traditions, practices and beliefs display obvious differences to people from all walks of life. Thus, it can be concluded that culture plays a dissecting role in influencing humans.
Heredity – If we inherit equally from our parents, we inherit unequally from our grandparents. The influence of factors inherits by a child himself from time he is conceived. Individual Differences in mental or physical trait is due to heredity and of course, environment.
Maturity – The maturity of every pupil varies along with development. It has been found out through psychological studies that girls mature earlier than boys.
Sex – The exact measurements of intellectual abilities show a relatively slight superiority of the women in receptivity of memory and relatively slight superiority of men in control of movement and in grasp of concrete mechanical situation.
Social and economic status – Higher intelligence is found along with better educational facilities. Therefore, higher intelligence exists in high rank economic conditions.
