Most of it is environmental. None of us are born smart simply because of who our parents are. Intelligence can be a natural gift though, like drawing or writing.

Being able to reason and solve problems quickly takes practice, and it is an environmental trait more than anything else.

But 'intelligence' is a loosely based term. No one can truly define it. Being able to solve math problems lickety-split or being able to write superfluously doesn't make one intelligent. It just makes them good at a certain subject.

WRONG. studies have shown that intellegance is primarily inherited.
