Are some people born cleaver and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is "Yes". To some extent, our intelligence is given at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring surrounding will develop his intelligence less than the one who lives in rich and varied surrounding. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It's easy to show that intelligence is something we are born with if we take two unrelated people at random from the population. It's likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take children - identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as other. This clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.
