Justing wondering...
Are some people born with genetic genes for learning/intelligence or something?

Pimpchica2: I feel intelligent and social. I try to apply everything that I learn in a way that I can easily relate with anyone. Thus, I don't have too much of an interest for the extreme mathematics/sciences, but I follow social cues, events, and many important ideas pretty well.

Intelligence is the size (IQ) of your bucket and intellect is what you choose to carry in your bucket, until you kick the bucket! It has been said that infants in ghettos develop more intelligence in the first few years because their parents can not afford a play pen and they are free to explore where ever they can crawl. Wealthy infants in a playpen (while Mom and Dad study for college finals?) can study only the ceiling. At some point (three years of age?) the wealthy child has the advantage of intellectual parents but potential IQ may have already been lost. If your parents took you the children's museums as a child you may have learned to be curious. Genes help provide the bucket and environment helps fill it from the git go.

ok, I love questions like this. What do you consider intelligence? I believe I have a general understanding of people in a social atmosphere with any classification. However, I have no interest in physics or mathmatical blah blah. I also "get it" when people talk to me with "big" words when I don't typically use them myself. Are you intellectual and social? Is that intelligence? That's a pretty broad question.

Yes, you are, in fact, a superior being to "normies".
There are probably genes that INFLUENCE intelligence, mainly cognitive ability. The desire to learn seems to be more based on environment and upbringing.

No one knows, but my personal theory is that the defining characteristic of intelligence is curiosity.

no that is not true. "smartness" or "being smart" is not passed on to the offspring, but genetics do influence athletic abilities.
