How intelligents are born?
It has been a topic of debate over last one month in international media. I had lot of myths on the subject that what determines the intelligence of a person.
My observations
1. If you are good looking as a kid, there is a high chance that you derive attention at school and home, as the attention increases you try hard to outperform. As you perfrom and stand alert, your confidence grows and hence you become topper in a school and eventually successful in life. If you are still studying, try hard to be in focus, be it from your teacher or fellow students or merely in your relatives and neighbors. It helps you grow with confidence, inside leader tries to take you to unseen heights.
2.Nextly, it is the school or college where you study. Many blindly choose a school that levies huge tution fee or boasts a lot about facilities or has a lot of heritage. The point here to look is at the variance of intelligence of students. If variance of the class /college is less (that means the difference between high and low performers is narrow), high chance that you/your kid perform at least that of others. That means, if you are elevated to a school/college where most are intelligent with low variance, high chance that you catch up with them. Hence now if you are looking for further studies, your choice should not be based on whether you get assistant ship or job, but on where the variance is less.
3. It is really disappointing, the last observation, your intelligence depends a lot on NATURE. If your biological parents are intelligent, highly likely that you are born intelligent.
