No. You might not be intelligent enough to make your own point. That has no bearing on the other persons intellect.

You cannot convince someone of something they don't believe, but you can suggestively explain your viewpoint - providing visualizations, personal feelings, factual info etc during explanation. Then hope you aced Debate in school. Changing someone's mind is easy if you have patience & the right facts/info - most people either adopt the most popular viewpoint or the most unique/individual viewpoint - you just need to know what kind of personality they have - group or individual identity. However, changing your own mind/opinion (especially when your mind is set) is a matter of intelligence. It shows your ability to see the big picture with the littlest details, keep focused on the point, weigh the truth & facts against needs & wants/opinions, and above all else, have an open mind. Changing your mind shows your capability to adapt to new ideas, your problem solving/thinking things through abilities, your acceptance to change, priority to stay informed/educated and finally belief in the best idea - yourself!

Not necessarily. There are books on getting anyone to say yes. You don't need much intelligence to prove something self-evident. Your word convining seems weak and lack of age or subject matter.

hmmm..lemme see..,i dont think so..intelligence not the key factor here..,the convincing ability from the one that speaks,and how easy is the one that listens influenced..,i think those two factors weight more than intelligence from either one off them.
