Is it possible to increase ones intelligence? Or is one condemned to being limited to an inherent level of intelligence? Consider the following to explain further:
A chap called North E. West is born. He is an average sort of fellow, born with an IQ of 100. The question I ask is, is he born with an IQ ceiling, or is the world his oyster? Is he ever only able to achieve a maximum intelligence of say, 130, or can be re-wire his brain by constant learning to achieve super intelligence?
Maybe it is better to ask some sub-questions. Does additional learning above the IQ of 130 imply intelligence, or simply an ability to learn? The two arent the same, just put a person with a natural mathematical flair next to someone who does, but both sharing similar qualifications.
Are we doomed to a level of intelligence as a part of our genetic make-up, or is it entirely in our own hands hands?
