According to one study, the heritability of IQ score in humans has a value of 0.52. What does this tell us about the role of "nature" versus "nurture" in determining intelligence in humans?

Heredity is important, but it is not a determinant of behaviors, because in this case the environment ends up becoming a much stronger way of developing behaviors in the person than heredity.
