Im just curious...can people actually become more clever?

Question

If the person studied hard could they? or is it just a natural trait you have

Answer 1

You betcha. Don't ever be without a book to read. Non-fictions are best for helping you gain more knowledge.  

Answer 2

yeah because we can train our bains to usemore of ourbrains, as an average human we only use about 4% of our brain so if we could train it to be even 10% we could do unimainable things

Answer 3

I believe we can..i'm not a clever person, but i study harder than anyone else in my class..and now i'm known as one of the best student among my frens even my lecturers..

I take some vitamin and eat lot of fish..it helps my brain to stay alert, absorb lesson faster, and I can memorise things easier..

It's not only about studying hard, but what you eat will also determine your brainpower..

Answer 4

Yes. Education (knowledge) plus experience (exercising the brain/knowledge) creates faster and better synaspes in the brain regarding that knowledge = faster thought and better answers = more clever. Study hard and practice your skills.

Answer 5

Actually, in a study where identical twins were separated at birth, it was determined that 80% of intelligence was inherited.  The other 20% comes from environmental factors.  

But I believe you can become more clever in certain areas.  It seems we all have something we can excel in, whether it be language, sports, math, or other things.  The trick is you have to hone your skills by practice, doing it & improving upon it.

Answer 6

Apparently, people don't know the difference between knowledge and cleverness.  

You can always gain more knowledge, but cleverness, or intelligence, is inherited.  You can hone the skills that have genetically, but you can't gain new genetic material to make you smarter.

Answer 7

Yes, it can come from experience and the ability to learn from past experiences.
