    You aren't really asking a question, this is confusing. One thing I will say about intelligence- nature vs nurture. You are born with a set potential for intelligence- typically if your parents are very smart you have the capability to be very smart as well. However, you need to be nurtured to help you attain what you are capable of (ex- go to a very good school, always do homework, work hard in school, work your best to get straight As, go to a good college). If you do all of that and have the capability of being really smart then yea you will be really smart. But say you grow up being homeless and don't go to school, and barley ever learn to read. Do you have the capacity to be really smart? If its in your genes yes but if you are nurtured in this setting then you will never ever reach that potential and you won't be smart.

    and if you dont know what any of those terms mean just look them up in your book or online, I cant explain every single one
