geniuses are not necessarily born and not made. it is true that everyone has a certain potential intelligence, but not everyone lives up to that potential. the main argument in your question is about nature-nuture;how much of you was born, and how much of you is influenced by your environment. though there has been much argument on the balance, psychologists have come to the conclusion that a persons disposition and intelligence comes from a balance of nature- your biological makeup, your genes- and nurture-how you have developed in the environment around you. Yet your genes can change. Recent studies involving twins have proven that genes can change, and do. So the simple answer to your question is that geniuses may be born, but with a little work, they can also be made.
