| I've been bouncing this theory around for awhile now and based off what I've seems around me, I think I'm right. Remember intelligence and knowledge aren't the same thing. It is my belief that can not become any more intelligent than when they are born, they just gain more knowledge to utilize this intelligence. I.e the more intelligent people will do the work faster while obtaining the same grade than the less intelligent person. This is something I noticed in school and the work place. What do y'all think? |

Yes, your brain is much like a muscle, in that the more your read and deal with the cognitive pain associated with complex matters, the more your brain adapts and "grows". Synaptic connections and shit - yo. Just make sure you consume enough DHA and similar oils, to help fuel the fire. |

Maybe a little bit, but it's a mute point anyway. Pure intelligence is hard to quantify. Is it problem solving?
Learning new tasks? Rote memory? Attention to detail? Creativity? Repeatable precision? Lots of geniuses are plenty dumb, and plenty of normal people are highly accomplished. To succeed, You need above average, motivation, self discipline, perseverance, and yes, intelligence. In that order. |

You say that knowledge is not that same thing as intelligence yet the still coincide. Those that are intelligent are not Naturally knowledgeable and same goes the other way. For the work I do I am very knowledgeable yet I also know a lot of other things that most wouldn't even think I would know. I have a lot of knowledge on on lot of subjects yet I do not have full knowledge on one specific subject. Now in grade school and college I know I didn't preform like I should have because age as taught me I was bored with it. Back then I couldn't tell you why I didn't pay attention. Now I know it was because I was bored. Although I should go back to school to finish out a few hours for a degree yet I just do not want to because I know I will be bored from listening to someone and just sitting there listening to them. And I know that is just me. |

IQ (more properly g) is fairly constant, assuming the person isn't eating lead paint chips or something. Even with as big of a change in environment as being adopted at birth the IQ of the adopted is quite close to those of the biological parents rather than the adoptive parents. No one has found a way to move the needle by a lot.
People can certainly acquire more skills and knowledge with a given IQ. Someone with an IQ of 100 and a solid high school education is better skilled than someone with an IQ of 100 that dropped out. |

The trivium method.
Plus some Noopept had a pretty dramatic effect on my intelligence. "How I stopped being a militant socialist idiot and so can you." |

It was a play on words and I even left a little hint, that a person of normal intelligence would be certain to pick up on. Go back and look at it again. See if you can figgur it out. |

This has been known for decades. The WISC-V, which is one of the gold standard IQ tests for children, yields a Full Scale IQ to which the following five Primary Index scores contribute: Verbal Comprehension Index Visual-Spatial Index Fluid Reasoning Index Working Memory Index Processing Speed Index My belief is that every person has a genetically determined IQ potential but environmental factors can influence how close a person gets to that potential. I also think it takes some seriously negative factors to significantly limit a person's potential IQ.

| We all have an innate intellectual capability and that varies from person to person. You can't really change that, it is not like getting a boob job. What you do with that capability is what you can change through education. You can't make someone a genius but you can improve on their basic knowledge base. |

It depends how you define intelligence...
Verbal,Arithmetic,Emotional common sense problem evaluating and solution conceptual intelligence fine motor skills humor ability to pull things apart and put them back together again in your mind and with your hands or intuitively see how parts work together. artistic intelligence (music,drawing,painting,sculpture) the list goes on and on in the realm of human endeavor. with skilled teachers and a student with ability knowledge can be increased skill can be increased and if that is how you measure intelligence then intelligence can be learned. innate ability perhaps with nutrition,exercise and work that too may be increased certainly genetics can be improved with the right breeding so improvement might also come in a generation or two |

Study for your Mensa exam, take it, then brag about how smart you are  Actually if you had all the parameters of the test in advance and started at the age of two took the exam at the age of 25 you might improve your score...but since one person only has one chance at it in a lifetime we will never know. Although identical siblings might shed some light on that. |
