Genes
How they were raised
Where they were raised
Who they were raised by
Education/no education

Never forget a person could be book smart but not street smart

A person raised in the wild can fend for self and knows the ins and outs of survival....one raised only in the city is usually helpless in the wild.

Different levels of 'smart'

Some are smart because they listen to God , some are not smart because they don't listen to God .When they listen , in that point they are smarts , where they don't listen in that point they are stupid. Also the smart people could be stupid at some points.I know people like this ..One of my best friends who is very clever to me , said that my husband brought me ugly clothes and things from abroad , from Europe , and this was also my opinion , but she was older then me , having 18 years more then me ,and she should have said that it doesn't matter what my husband brought me from abroad , it matters that he brought me things .Actually it wasn't his fault because this is the fashion for woman , a little masculine , an with dark or unbrightfull colours during the winter ...So it wasn't his fault...If he went in Greece he would have bought something more beautifull...And she is a very clever woman , she knows everything what children should learn , what laws should exist...

But a shop -asistant which was of my age , told me that I should say my husband that everything he broght me from abroad is...beautifull.But the problemn is that is the third time at least when he travels across Europe , in the most rich countries and brings me ugly cloathes from expensive shops ..

Why ARE some people more intelligent, you mean..

Well, it depends mostly on environment, although genetics play a role.
You'll notice most "intelligent"(by this I mean educated, articulate, curious) people are the product of environments that encourage learning. The parents are usually both either well-educated or well-read. The parents are involved in their children's learning and actively seek out ways to encourage curiousity and creativity within their children.
Schooling also plays a part, in that children need to be exposed to learning as fun and important and "cool" to pursue.

As well, memory is a big factor in what is seen as Intelligence. In many cases, people with a greater recall of facts and situations are seen as more intelligent, simply because they have a greater pool of knowledge from which to draw.

I think the best indicator of 'Intelligence" is a curiousity about a wide range of things, not just the activity you are primarily pursuing as an ara of study.

It's working of our brains dear.

Our brain works in a very peculiar manner. It can be divided into two parts - the concious and the subconcious. The subconcious is aware of all of our past adn keeps learning from our experience. It formulates different probable reactions to any action. Our concious works on these instructions provided by the subconcious. The better the co-ordination between the concious and the subconcious the smarter the person....

Define 'smart'. I may be book smart but my friend can win me in a gambling game. I may be stupid in school but I have deep empathy for people around me. So who's smart and who's dumb? Everybody is.

All people are equally smart, some do not want to think so may be due to fear of loosing face or something.

Every people can be smart, provided he or she should know how to be. It depends upon the person too. Some people like to be foolish kind, they never want to become smrt.
