I’m confused. I’ve always thought of intelligence as innate. To me it sounds like you are describing what I would call education. Is there something I’m missing or don’t understand?
I believe there are multiple contributing factors to intelligence with doing different behaviors to enhance intelligence being one of the factors in addition to innate intelligence. There are also different types of intelligence. One concept I’ve heard is if you measure how smart a fish is by it’s ability to climb a tree, it will not be considered smart.
