Both.
You're born with a certain intellectual aptitude. Stimulation of the intellect is required in order to use this aptitude at its greatest potential.
The type of stimulation needed isn't anything specific, and it's not at all like "training". Different people require different things in order to learn.

Both. A person may have more recessive intelligence genes (yup that's good) but if the mind is not used, chance of formation are diff. To drive the point, if only work needs to be done, everyone in India and China would be genisues.

i would go with born because you see at a young age when a child far excells over other children their ages they seem to learn in a faster fashion and catch on to things while the other kids are drooling and throwing tantrums but i will say any child born without mr/dd can be taught many things and master what the are taught
