I see intelligence as the integral capacity for mental development over a range of adversity and opportunity. It begs the question of what optimal development is. Fast or slow, books and logic, or survival and dominance? Every social niche holds to its own ideals.

Some people are born intelligent and some have to work for it, like everythng else in the world. I think a person of averge intelligence can train themselves to be good at pretty much anything they choose but there's certain things that might not come as easily that they'll have to work harder at performing those tasks.

Everyone is born with natural talents. Some people develop and hone those they already have, some people make themselves good simply by willpower and the drive to do it.
